Thermo Scientific™ Viper™ MS Connection Kits for Vanquish™ LC Systems

The Thermo Scientific™ Viper™ TQ MS Connection Kit is a comprehensive, high-performance kit designed to streamline and optimize the connection between Vanquish™ LC systems and mass spectrometers. It includes all the necessary zero-dead-volume capillaries and fingertight fittings required to achieve leak-free, dispersion-optimized LC–MS connections, ensuring the highest possible data quality for UHPLC and LC–MS workflows.

Built with Thermo Scientific™ Viper™ and nanoViper™ fingertight fitting technology, the kit ensures perfect, reproducible connections every time—without tools, torque wrenches, or guesswork. Each connection seals at the capillary tip, eliminating dead volume and preventing band broadening, peak tailing, and sensitivity loss.

The Viper TQ MS Connection Kit is compatible with Vanquish™ Core HPLC, Vanquish™ Flex UHPLC, and Vanquish™ Horizon UHPLC systems, supporting demanding LC–MS applications requiring ultralow dispersion, high pressure durability, and exceptional chromatographic integrity.
