A connector assembly is disclosed. The connector assembly comprises a connector
having an internal conical shaped bore dimensioned so that a capillary column and
auxiliary tubing can be press-fit into the bore, and an auxiliary length of cylindrical
tubing having an inner diameter dimensioned so that a close fit is created when
a capillary column is inserted through the auxiliary tubing and having an outer
diameter dimensioned so that a fluid seal is created when the auxiliary tubing
is press-fit into the bore.
