Our Bottle Caps offer ease of use and are economical. We provide three holes in each cap insert that have no stops. With two of the holes, you simply push your tubing through. The third hole accepts any male luer or our A-626 tapered plug (except the A-610 and A-610B). The A-610 and A-610B bottle caps have a 3/16″ third hole configuration for use with a Waters® system. If needed, this hole takes an A-628 plug.

Guard columns offer a user friendly, compact design for easy integration. Iso-Prep™ is a guard cartridge system designed to protect valuable prep columns. Column Saver Precolumn Filters offers a biocompatible and economical way to add a filter to your system. Packing Adapters are available for connecting hardware to high pressure column packing reservoirs. We also offer a variety of tools to assist with your column usage.

Many applications require biocompatible hardware. To meet this growing demand we have developed a unique line of connectors. This product family includes column couplers. Our guard column connectors include different styles that deliver low swept volume and help maintain column efficiency.

We offer wide selection of pre-packed, cartridge style guard columns in addition to pack-it-yourself hardware. There are options for micro flow applications as well as analytical-scale applications. These guard columns can be immediately implemented into a system for your convenience.

Our LiteTouch Fittings are specifically designed to effectively grip tubing at two compression points, holding to high pressures with Fingertight convenience. It also prevents polymer tubing from twisting, a potential problem when using standard Fingertight fittings. LiteTouch Fittings are available for use with 1/32 inches, 1/16 inches, or 1/8 inches outer diameter tubing sizes, and for 10-32 or 1/4-28 coned ports. To avoid collapsing the inner diameter of your tubing, the LiteTouch system can be used on hard tubing only, such as stainless steel and PEEK polymer tubing. The LiteTouch Ferrule System is not recommended for repeated use in plastic ports.

MicroTight One-Piece Fittings are uniquely designed for use with the NanoPort™ and MicroTight Unions, Adapters and Inline MicroFilters. Specifically made for 360 μm outer diameter tubing, 1/32 inches outer diameter tubing, or our MicroTight Tubing Sleeves these fittings ensure superior fingertight connections with capillary tubing. MicroTight Fittings withstand temperatures up to 125 °C. The MicroTight family also includes a female nut matched with one of five dedicated ferrules for connecting specific tubing outer diameters.

Our PEEK Fittings are biocompatible and offers excellent chemical resistance. They are simple to use and an economical choice. These fittings are offered in a fingertight style making them easy to tighten. We offer fittings and ferrules for your convenience. We offer our PEEK fittings in one and two piece options.

Our PEEK Fittings with Knobs are biocompatible and offers excellent chemical resistance. We designed these fitting to be simple, economic, and easy-to-use. It comes in one and two piece options. The multi-colored knob is designed to allow for easy identification.

Our unique Two-Piece Fingertight Fittings feature a separate ferrule. With a two-piece design, you can replace just the ferrule instead of the entire unit, making these Fingertights more economical than the one-piece version. Use a standard knurled head fitting for traditional fingertight applications, or use a fitting with wings built into the head for extra tightening leverage. A stainless steel hex headed fitting can be used for applications where a wrench may be needed for added tightening torque.

The dual compression created by the specially designed nut and ferrule enables the SealTight Fittings system to outperform standard finger tightened fittings. The forward cone of the SealTight Ferrule provides gripping power and a leak-free seal via conventional compression by the receiving port. The slotted end creates the second compression zone in conjunction with a SealTight Nut. All SealTight Nuts are for use with 1/16 inches outer diameter tubing and are designed to be used with the F-192 Ferrule.

Debubblers utilize a porous Poridex membrane to rapidly clear bubblers from locations where bubble introduction cannot be avoided. When Poridex is used as a degassing transfer line tail it can also remove dissolved gases in locations where a standard degassing chamber won’t fit. Due to the porous nature of Poridex it can only be used with water based solutions without detergents or emulsifiers.

The Stand Alone Degassers are designed for use alongside your fluidic system. Simply plug in the unit and route your fluids through the degasser for consistent gas free fluids.
