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
