HPLC PEEK Finger Tight Fitting (M6 for 1/16" OD Tubing) conform to the following Standards/Norms:
HPLC PEEK Finger Tight Fitting (M6) is designed for connecting 1/16" capillary tubing in High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) systems. These fittings provide a reliable and leak-free connection between the tubing and various components of the HPLC system, such as detectors, columns, and injection valves.
Thread size: M6
Thread length: 12.00mm
Material: PEEK
Features: Finger-tight fitting.
Tool-Free Operation: Allows for quick and easy installation and removal of fittings without the need for additional tools, reducing setup time and improving workflow efficiency in the laboratory.
Convenience: Enables laboratory technicians to make adjustments or replace fittings swiftly during chromatographic runs or system maintenance, minimising downtime and optimising productivity.
Chemical Resistance: PEEK is highly resistant to a wide range of chemicals and solvents commonly used in HPLC, ensuring compatibility with various mobile phases and sample matrices without degradation or contamination.
High Temperature Stability: PEEK maintains its mechanical strength and dimensional stability at elevated temperatures, which is crucial for HPLC systems operating under thermal stress during analyses.
Mechanical Strength: PEEK finger-tight fittings provide excellent mechanical properties, including high tensile strength and toughness, ensuring robust performance and reliability in demanding laboratory environments.
Low Extractable's: PEEK has low levels of extractable substances, minimising the risk of sample contamination and ensuring accurate analytical results in chromatography.
Dimensional Stability: PEEK maintains tight tolerances and dimensional stability under varying pressures and temperatures, contributing to consistent performance and reliable sealing of fittings over time.
Biocompatibility: PEEK is biocompatible, making it suitable for HPLC applications involving biological samples or pharmaceutical analyses where purity and safety are critical.
Lightweight: Despite its strength, PEEK is lightweight, facilitating ease of handling during installation and maintenance of HPLC systems without compromising durability or performance.
Durability: PEEK fittings have a long service life due to their resistance to wear, corrosion, and fatigue, reducing the need for frequent replacements and maintenance costs.
Versatility: PEEK is compatible with a wide range of solvents and chemicals, allowing for versatile use across different chromatographic applications and experimental setups.
Injector Ports:
HPLC PEEK finger-tight fittings are utilised at injector ports in chromatographic systems. They allow for quick and secure connection of injector valves to ensure precise and reliable sample introduction into the analytical column.
Column Connections:
These fittings are used to connect analytical and guard columns in HPLC systems. Their finger-tight feature facilitates easy installation and replacement of columns during method development or routine maintenance without the need for tools.
Detector Fittings:
HPLC PEEK finger-tight fittings are applied at detector ports to secure detectors in the chromatographic flow path. This allows for efficient installation and removal of detectors for calibration or troubleshooting purposes.
Tubing Connections:
In mobile phase delivery systems, these fittings connect tubing from solvent reservoirs to the HPLC system. Their finger-tight capability enables quick and reliable sealing of tubing connections, ensuring consistent solvent delivery during chromatographic runs.
Pre-column Filters:
These fittings are used at pre-column filter locations to secure filters in place. Their finger-tight design allows for easy replacement or cleaning of filters, maintaining sample integrity and system cleanliness in chromatographic analyses.
Guard Column Installation:
HPLC PEEK finger-tight fittings secure guard columns in place to protect analytical columns from contaminants. Their tool-free installation feature simplifies the process of adding or replacing guard columns during method optimisation or sample analysis.
Valve Connections:
These fittings are employed in valve systems to connect different flow paths within the HPLC setup. Their finger-tight operation ensures reliable sealing and facilitates quick adjustments or reconfigurations of valve positions for multi-dimensional chromatography.
Laboratory Instrumentation:
HPLC PEEK finger-tight fittings are also used in various laboratory instrumentation setups where rapid assembly, disassembly, and adjustments are required. They provide secure connections without the need for additional tools, enhancing operational efficiency.
