Cytiva, 28989876, Adapter XK 16

The Cytiva XK 16 Column Adapter is a complete adjustable assembly for 16 mm internal-diameter XK liquid chromatography columns. The adapter fits into the column tube and establishes the upper boundary of the packed resin bed. Its plunger, support screen, and net ring provide the fluid-distribution and bed-retention interface needed for reliable chromatography. Adjusting the adapter position helps establish the intended bed height and avoid an unsupported void above the resin surface. During installation, maintain alignment with the glass tube, keep sealing surfaces clean, and use the appropriate adjustment mechanism to secure a leak-resistant fit. Replace damaged screens, net rings, or O-rings with compatible parts rather than mixing XK 16 components with larger column families. After reassembly, equilibrate the resin and check bed stability, pressure response, and chromatographic performance before processing critical samples. This item is one complete column adapter, not a packing reservoir, chromatography column body, or loose resin.
