GC Inlet Liners
Every batch of inlet liners is tested for activity using the EPA 8081B method. This standard method ensures that each batch of inlet liners has less than 3% Endrin breakdown. All SGE liners are deactivated with a high temperature (>400°C) gas phase reagent. We validate this quality assurance by including a batch certificate with every pack.
The full range of Trajan GC Inlet Liners are available from Fox Scientific, Inc.

select the correct liner.
Choosing the right inlet liner and injection parameters can increase peak areas
and reduce detection limits by up to 300 %.
• Easy to choose - color coded by geometry to simplify your selection.
• Easy to use - contains o-rings so you’re ready to go.
• Confidence in your analysis - certified deactivation.
Injection Port | Inlet Liner ConnecTite
Features and benefits
• Robust and durable for longer life, less maintenance downtime and reduced maintenance costs.
• ConnecTite liners facilitate maximum transfer of sample to the GC column and inhibit sample degradation by reducing contact with hot metal components inside the inlet.
• A hole in the liner body maintains gas flows in systems equipped with electronic pressure control.
• ConnecTite liners with a hole near the bottom are ideal for analyses where early eluting compounds may be affected by a tailing solvent peak.
• ConnecTite liners with a hole at the top improve analyses of aqueous samples.
• ConnecTite liners with a hole at the top are also ideal for analyses where compounds of interest elute away from the solvent peak.
ConnecTite liners are recommended for the following sample or injection modes:
• Trace level analysis.
• Direct injection.
• Active compounds.
• Aqueous samples.
Product specifications
ConnecTite available for Agilent, PerkinElmer, Shimadzu 2010, Thermo Scientific, and Bruker/Varian 1075/1077 injectors.
Injection Port | Inlet Liner Double Taper
Features and benefits
• Bottom taper minimizes contact with metal parts of the inlet and focuses sample onto the head of the column.
• Top taper aids in minimizing sample flashback.
Double Taper liners are recommended for the following sample or injection modes:
• Trace level analysis.
• Splitless.
• Low boiling point compounds.
• Active compounds.
Product specifications
Double taper available for Agilent, Thermo Scientific, and Varian/Bruker 1177 & 1078/1079 injectors.
Injection Port | Inlet Liner FocusLiner®
Features and benefits
The SGE FocusLiner® uses a unique design to hold the quartz wool in the correct position.
• Two focus points in the liner ensures quartz wool remains in the optimum location.
• The wiping of the needle by the quartz wool prevents droplet formation ensuring excellent reproducibility.
• The presence of the quartz wool improves vaporization minimizing high molecular weight discrimination..
The FocusLiner is recommended for the following sample or injection modes:
• General purpose.
• Concentrated samples.
• Dirty samples.
• Split/Splitless injection mode.
Product specifications
FocusLiner available for Agilent, PerkinElmer, Shimadzu, Thermo Scientific, and Bruker/Varian injectors.
Injection Port | Inlet Liner Taper/Gooseneck
Features and benefits
• A bottom taper focuses sample onto the head of the column and minimizes sample contact with metal parts of the inlet.
• A taper at the top aids in minimizing sample flashback.
• Remember – the addition of quartz wool to your inlet liner promotes mixing of analytes, aids the vaporization of liquid
samples, works as a trap to collect nonvolatile residue in the sample (i.e. protects capillary column from ‘dirty’ samples).
• TI deactivated liners are optimized for EPA8270 method and are pre-fitted with an o-ring to minimize handling.
Taper / Gooseneck liners are recommended for the following sample or injection modes:
• Trace level analysis
• Active Samples
• Split/Splitless injection types
Product specifications
Bottom Taper available for Agilent, PerkinElmer, Shimadzu, Thermo Scientific, and Varian/Bruker 1177 and 1078/1079 injectors.
Injection Port | Inlet Liner PTV/LVI
Features and benefits
• PTV and LVI liners generally have sintered glass beads or powder to increase the surface area and trap nonvolatile residue.
• PTV liners use baffles or a wisp of quartz wool to aid in vaporization of samples and retain droplets during low temperature injections.
• Side hole needles are recommended for these techniques to ensure effective distribution of sample within the liner.
PTV/LVI liners are recommended for the following sample or injection modes:
• Trace level analyses.
• PTV/LVI.
• Large volume Injections.
Product specifications
PTV/LVI liners available for Agilent/Gerstel, PerkinElmer, Shimadzu 2010 injector, Thermo Scientific, and Varian/Bruker 1078/1079 injectors.
Injection Port | Inlet Liner Straight
Features and benefits
• Straight liners facilitate higher split flows.
• Narrow bore straight liners facilitate fast GC work.
• Small injection volumes of less than 0.5 μL are best used.
• Narrow bore straight liners improve focusing of gaseous samples (purge, trap and headspace).
Straight liners are recommended for the following sample or injection modes:
• General purpose.
• Concentrated samples.
• Dirty samples (only if quartz wool is present).
• Gaseous samples.
• Purge and trap.
• Headspace.
• Split/splitless.
Product specifications
Straight liners available for Agilent, PerkinElmer, Shimadzu 2010, 17A, 2014 and 2025 injectors, Thermo Scientific, and Varian/Bruker 1177 & 1078/1079 injectors.
Injection Port | Inlet Liner Taper FocusLiner®
Features and benefits
• Bottom taper focuses sample onto the head of the column and minimizes contact with metal parts of the inlet.
• A taper at the top aids in minimizing sample flashback.
• Ensures quartz wool remains in the correct position in the liner.
• Excellent reproducibility results from the wiping of the sample from the syringe needle and the prevention of droplet formation.
The Taper FocusLiner® is recommended for the following sample or injection modes:
• Trace level analysis.
• Splitless.
• Dirty sample.
• Wide boiling point range.
Product specifications
Taper FocusLiner available for Agilent, PerkinElmer, Shimadzu, Thermo Scientific, and Varian/Bruker injectors.
