The cassette column format made plug-&-play nano LC-MS more accessible. But some designs never removed the emitter junction - they just hid it inside the housing. Aurora Series® pulls the emitter from the same fused silica as the column itself. No junction, no union, nothing to vary. bit.ly/4xIPlNp

One of the most overlooked factors in maintaining consistent, high-quality spray in nano-scale liquid chromatography is something you handle every time you connect your column: your capillary fitting. Thankfully, a little care & a few simple habits go a long way. Here's what to know: bit.ly/4zbjHd4
