Cheap and easy Wire toggle closures on beer bottles is an old-fashioned idea. They still survive because they are cheap and easy. Oddly enough it was over a glass of beer late one evening that the head of Chrompack's development team hit on the solution to a problem. The team had developed a potentially low-cost HPLC cartridge. In glass. Inert, transparent, and capable of withstanding the necessary working pressure. Yet no really practical method of sealing its ends to the high pressure liquid system had been worked out.
Chrompack HPLC cartridge system But the lever action of that beer bottle closure, and its elastomer gasket triggered off the thinking that produced the elegantly simple, yet practical and pressure tight (up to 3000 psi), lever-cam clamping that compresses the Chrompack HPLC glass cartridge in its stainless steel holder. Another practical system developed by Chrompack chromatographers for chromatographers. Low in cost, and highly effective. Turn over for full
