3) Is the SimLinkUno-16 compatible with Thermo™ nanoViper™ connector?

The VICI™ 1/16” to 360 has a thread compatible with the nanoViper™, and it is flat at its end, so it provides a good surface for the connector to fit and press tight. Because parts are produced by different providers, it is not possible to ensure that the VICI™ 1/16” to 360 - nanoViper™ assembly will withstand the pressure specified by each manufacturer independently. The short answer is: Yes, but with a disclaimer on maximum pressure. Having said that, this should not be a problem because the pressure at the emitter to column interface is very low.
