Our PEEK Tees and Crosses are precisely designed to withstand environmental stresses in the high pressure regions of a system. It is manufactured from inert PEEK, which is delivers excellent chemical resistance. Featured are our PEEK MicroTees and Crosses that join capillary tubing together. Several researchers use our PEEK MicroTee to introduce fluid to their stream just prior to a Mass Spectrometer because of its advantageous internal geometry and PEEK polymer’s electrical resistance.

Our high pressure Elbow Tubing is manufactered from biocompatible PEEK. It is preformed at a 90 degree angle. This unique design allows for a convenient alternative to right angle connectors.

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.
