Overview
The Alltech 8132 moisture trap cartridge refill kit is a replacement cartridge for gas chromatography and laboratory gas purification systems. This cartridge works with Alltech baseplate systems to remove moisture from gas lines and carrier gas streams in GC applications. The cartridge uses a dual-action adsorbent media combining molecular sieve pellets with indicating Sorbsil Chameleon material to achieve efficient moisture capture while providing visual feedback when the cartridge requires replacement.
Key Features
- Dual-action sorbent: Sorbsil Chameleon indicator material combined with molecular sieve pellets
- Quick-change design: Replaces spent cartridges in seconds without shutting down the GC system
- Color-indicating: Sorbsil Chameleon material changes color to signal when cartridge is exhausted
- Knurled locking ring: Secures cartridge to baseplate and automatically stops gas flow during cartridge changes
- Broad contaminant removal: Removes moisture plus HCl, SO2, NO2, H2S, CO2, oil, and small aliphatics
- Compatible with Chrompack baseplates: Works with standard Alltech cartridge system bases (purchased separately)
Technical Specifications
- Cartridge Type: Moisture Trap Cartridge
