For what it's worth, the part number is Z118434 and if you email your local
service or sales organization they should be able to sell you one.
And that is exactly the doodad for connecting the old BCU to the new probe
with the Johnston coupler.

> Subject: [External Email] [AMMRL] BCU-05 with modern probes
Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone here has experience with connecting old BCU-05 hosing
(with the female ball joint end) to modern probes (e.g. iProbes with the screw-on
Johnston coupling, not the male ball-joint). I've got adaptors for connecting
these probes directly to the BSVT gas output (bypass the chiller altogether),
and for connecting a modern BCU-I/II to an older ball-jointed probe (which isn't
much use for me).
Any insight would be much appreciated as to whether the appropriate adaptors
for this desired configuration exist, or if anyone has Macgyvered this without
having to upgrade to a new BCU. I've seen Bruker engineers screw the hosing
straight onto the probe without any straight insert Johnston coupler in a
previous job (but it's very inelegant and not a long term solution - it's
barely attached).
Regards from the UK,
Sam
