SecurityLINK HPLC/UHPLC Column Connectors
Product Information
Brand
SecurityLink fittings simplify your system and column connections
High efficiency and good peak shape are essential to minimize or eliminate dead-volume within any HPLC and UHPLC system. Fitting connections routinely made to the column inlet and outlet are a contributor to additional dead-volume leading to lower than expected efficiency, peak tailing, or misshaped peaks. SecurityLINK HPLC/UHPLC fittings with integrated or external torque limiting technology, provide a convenient solution that eliminates column over- and under tightening which could result in column damage and poor analytical results.
- Better HPLC/UHPLC results with zero dead-volume connections
- Torque limiting technology prevents over and under tightening
- Pressure rated to 19,000 psi (1,310 bar)
Available in two formats:
- SecurityLINK (with integrated torque limiting mechanism) for all LC applications
- SecurityLINK ET (with external torque tool) for LC and low flow applications
About SecurityLINK Technology
The SecurityLINK LC connectors utilize Torque Limiting Technology that simplifies your system and column connections while ensuring proper seal, and prevents column damaging overtightening.
Whether you choose the standard connector with integrated torque limiting (SecurityLINK) or a small footprint connector with torque limiting tool assistance (SecurityLINK ET), you're assured of reliable performance and enhanced security for your applications.
SecurityLINK (tool free)
COMING SOON!
SecurityLINK ET (uses external torque tool)
- Fits into small spaces of a system
- Zero dead-volume connection
- Easy install with external torque-limiting tool
- For LC and micro and nano applications
The Dead-Volume Difference
SecurityLINK Connectors vs Conventional Fittings
Poorly connected fittings are often the causes of carryover, band broadening, and peak tailing. Standard SecurityLINK and SecurityLINK ET fittings offer zero dead-volume connections every time.

Superior Robustness and Reproducibility
Column Performance
While typical fittings are not cross-column compatible and prone to cause column damage with overtightening, SecurityLINK safely and easily allows you to continuously attach and detach columns. To illustrate the high robustness and durability of the SecurityLINK LC Fitting System, the fitting was disconnected and reconnected 100 times to a highly sensitive sub-2 μm core-shell UHPLC column.

Compatibility with Column Vendors
Consistent Results with SecurityLINK
SecurityLINK LC Fittings were designed to be compatible with the majority of LC columns and systems that are available on the market. That gives you the ability to utilize this easy to use fitting on each system and with multiple columns. To prove this, the SecurityLINK was evaluated below for compatibility with different column vendors; Phenomenex, Waters®, and Agilent®.
