NEW design 11-pin cage from Restek
Restek are introducing a new 11-pin cage design for all their fused silica columns. The new cage design:
  • Prevents spontaneous column unwinding due to oven vibration or handling
  • Simplifies installation and maintenance. Since the column can be easily removed from cage, the nut and ferrule can be slid further down the column, making ferrule changes optional
  • Improves production precision - all columns are cut to the exact nominal length plus 0.5 meter
  • Innovative design and column weave minimize cage height, allowing more room in the oven for a second column
This new cage design will be phased in immediately, beginning with the Rxi column line. However, you may still receive columns on the old cage as inventory levels turn over during the transition. For more information about Restek's design changes, contact the CSI Technical Support team at 1-800-267-8103

    AOAC Seminar - Acetonitrile Rationing - Overcoming the Shortage in your Lab.
    A world-wide shortage of Acetonitrile emerged during the fall of 2008, caused by a global downturn in acrylic fiber production. Solvent suppliers continue to warn that Acetonitrile supplies will be very restricted until summer 2009. Acetonitrile supply is expected to improve somewhat in the 3rd and 4th quarters, but some restrictions will remain, and prices are expected to remain high.

    CSI would like to offer our customers cost saving alternatives to help them through this shortage, click here to read more.

    AOAC Seminar - Acetonitrile Rationing - Overcoming the Shortage in your Lab.
    A world-wide shortage of Acetonitrile emerged during the fall of 2008, caused by a global downturn in acrylic fiber production. Solvent suppliers continue to warn that Acetonitrile supplies will be very restricted until summer 2009. Acetonitrile supply is expected to improve somewhat in the 3rd and 4th quarters, but some restrictions will remain, and prices are expected to remain high.

    CSI would like to offer our customers cost saving alternatives to help them through this shortage, click here to read more.
