Introduced in 1987, the UCC system is a high quality cartridge system which has been painstakingly optimized for flexibility and ease of handling. We offer a high quality product at a fraction of the cost. The cartridge insert is simply a 1/4" stainless steel tube with KEL-F plugs at either end. The complete system is entirely fingertight and does not require the use of wrenches or spanners. Our cartridge holders and inserts are compatible with standard 'off-the-shelf' HPLC end-fittings. We offer a wide range of easy to use accessories to enhance the basic UCC system. These include a simple guard column adaptor and a convenient column coupler. The basic cartridge holder is not only compatible with 4.6mm i.d. columns, but also with narrow bore columns of 3.2 and 2.1mm internal diameter. Larger sized holders are also available for prepartative and semi preparative cartridges. Colour Coding System A common problem with cartridge designs is that some HPLC solvents can gradually wash away the information that is kept on the cartridge labels such as flow direction, particle size, bonded phase etc. We have overcome this problem by introducing colour coded cartridges. All cartridge inserts are coated with an attractive solvent resistant polymer coating in various colours. Each bonded phase has its own designated colour for easy identification.

Capital UCC Colour Coding       ODS/C18   C8 or Octyl   C6 or Hexyl   Amino NH2   Cyano CN   C1 (Trimethyl)   Bare Silica   Accessories Connecting Union   The UCC connecting union can be used to couple two UCC columns together quickly and easily. This may be used to connect together two shorter columns in situations where a longer column is desirable but not available, or alternatively, it may be used to modify the system selectivity by coupling columns of different phases together. Order No. HT7150 Price Guard Column Holder   The guard column holder is designed for connecting UCC guard cartidges to conventional style columns. It can also be used as a holder for a short column in situations where a very short column is required for rapid method delvopment experiments. Two end fittings (CS100 or CS100V) are required for each guard column holder. Order No. HT7151 Price Guard Column Adaptor   The guard column adaptor attaches directly to the top of the UCC cartridge holder. The guard column insert can then simply be placed in the holder and the end fitting screwed into the holder. This produces a zero dead volume butt connection between the guard column and the analytical column for maximum efficiency. The guard column adaptor accepts standard 1/4" end fittings. The guard column holder and the guard column holder (above) can conveniently be coupled together to produce a 5cm catridge holder. Order No. HT7152 Price Hexigrip Spanner   The hexigrip spanner slides over the injector side end fittings to provide a better grip when connecting fingertight cartridges. It is suitable for both Swagelok and Parker style fittings. Order No. HT7153 Price Plug Removers   A special feature of the UCC system is the ability to remove the column end plugs for user maintenance of column top. For this purpose there is a plug removing tool and a special PTFE dressing tool which flattens the bed after topping up by the user and removes precisely the correct amount of packing material to accommodate the plug.
