Model 6427 Series Oxygen & Moisture Traps

Description
These traps utilize a highly reactive, metal containing, inert supported reagent to remove oxygen and moisture from most non-corrosive gases. The traps are filled under a heated flow of ultra high purity helium for purity.

Applications
  • Ideal for removal of oxygen from gases used in electron capture and GC/Mass Spec applications
  • May be used with the following gases:
    • Argon-methane mixtures
    • Hydrogen
    • Alkanes
    • Alkenes
    • Aliphatic hydrocarbons
    • Benzene
    • Toluene
    • Carbon dioxide
    • Carbon monoxide

Design Features
  • Aluminum canister housing
  • Canisters filled under a heated flow of ultra high purity helium, eliminating the need for purging prior to GC/Mass Spec operation
  • All-metal construction eliminates contamination and resultant signal noise
  • Available with 1/8" or ¼" stainless steel Swagelok® compression tube fittings
