Our high pressure tubing includes biocompatible PEEK, formally known as poly ether ether ketone. PEEK is a high-performance engineered polymer with mechanical and chemical resistance properties that absorb high temperatures, making it highly resistant to thermal degradation. PEEK tubing has one of the highest strength-to-weight ratios of any thermoplastic and the strength required to withstand continuous use at HPLC pressure. Its distinct materials make it inert to most solvents and give it a smooth internal surface that improves the resolution of sample bands. With its introduction into the marketplace, PEEK materials have become a popular replacement for stainless steel tubing for fluidic needs.

Seamless, pre-cut 316 stainless steel tubing meets the exacting requirements of today’s analyses. Thorough preparation guarantees that our tubing is truly ready-to-use, with flat-burr-free ends and a clean finish, which ensures zero dead volume connections and good chromatographic results. Each machine-cut end is polished, deburred on the edges and passivated. High-pressure stainless steel tubing can be sterilized by numerous methods; however, the color-coded band should be removed if present. We offer a wide selection of outer- and inner-diameters and lengths. Cutting the tubing disturbs the tubing’s surface so we recommend using precut lengths whenever possible. In addition, our high-pressure stainless steel tubing comes with the additional feature of a color-coded band for easy ID identification. IDEX Health & Sciences provides high-pressure tubing to enable complete optimization of the fluidic pathway. We are the global fluidics leader best known for our expertise in highly engineered fluidics systems and components, and are committed to partnering with you to make your flow path successful and efficient.

Our diverse selection of low pressure multiport connectors includes products that can be easily used in low pressure regions of a system where a dependable connection is essential. Included in these connectors are unions, elbow connectors, tees & crosses and manifolds. Each product can used to meet your system requirements with pressure ratings of up to 2000 psi (138 bar).

Our low pressure Standard Unions efficiently connects tubing in low pressure regions of a system where a dependable connection is imperative. Our union provides true ZDV which lets tubing to join together without interrupting the fluidic path.

PEEK Y Connectors are designed to split a stream or join two streams together, just like a tee. However, the configuration of a tee can lead to turbulent flow and solvent outgassing, which increases baseline noise and reduces sensitivity. The geometry of a Y connector creates less turbulence and thus can improve analytical results. All of these Y Connectors use 1/4-28 Flangeless fittings, except P-515 which uses 5/16-24 fittings (to accommodate larger tubing).

These special MicroTight fittings were created to facilitate connecting fused silica and other capillary tubing to standard 1/16 inches outer diameter tubing or standard luer-lock connectors. Available versions include fittings for adapting to 0.025 inches (MicroTight Sleeves), 1/32 inches, and 360µm outer diameters.

Our Barbed Reducing Unions have been engineered to effectively join together one piece of soft-walled tubing to a second piece of differently sized soft-walled tubing. This type of connector is typically the connector of choice for joining two peristaltic tubes with different inner diameters together. These are manufactured from either polypropylene or nylon.

Our Conical Adapters include several products that have been engineered to connect between soft-walled tubing and rigid-walled tubing. The Peristaltic Tubing Adapters included in this family of products come as 2-packs and can facilitate a very secure connection between the soft-walled tubing and 1/16 inches outer diameter rigid-walled tubing using the included compression fitting set. (Other tubing sizes can also function with the 1/4-28 threaded, flat-bottom ports that are part of the design of these adapters.) Our standard Conical Adapter Assemblies come individually packaged and can facilitate the connection of both 1/16 inches outer diameter and 1/8 inches outer diameter rigid-walled tubing to softer-walled tubing of varying inner diameter. While the Conical Adapter Assemblies are easy to use, they do not incorporate a locking collar, as do the Peristaltic Tubing Adapters. As such, the pressure rating for the Conical Adapter Assemblies tends to be lower than that offered with the Peristaltic Tubing Adapters.
