Shimadzu Stop Valve Manual GC Cut-Off Valve

The Shimadzu 201-35039-01 Stop Valve is a manual cut-off valve designed for use with Shimadzu gas chromatography (GC) systems. This valve is an essential component for the precise control and safe operation of a GC system. It's used to manually isolate the GC from its gas supply.

In a GC system, it's crucial to have a way to control gas flow, particularly during system shutdowns or maintenance. A manual stop valve allows the user to physically turn off the flow of carrier gas to the instrument. This is especially important for GC systems that use manual flow controllers, as opposed to electronic ones. By allowing the user to shut off the gas flow, it prevents a potentially dangerous situation where carrier gas continues to flow through a hot column.

This Shimadzu stop valve is meticulously crafted to meet high industry standards, ensuring durability and reliable performance in analytical processes. It is a fundamental component for maintaining the safety and efficient operation of various Shimadzu GC systems.
