and PCTFE
Low swept volume of 0.95 µL
Designed for fow rates of 20 – 250 µL/min
The Upchurch Scientifc
®
Micro Static Mixing Tee utilizes a specifcally
engineered internal geometry to efficiently mix two fluid streams
into one combined stream. The center port also features a 0.5 µm
porosity PEEK polymer frit to aid in mixing. This frit adds a maximum
of 20 psi (1.4 bar) back pressure to most systems (within the stated
flow rate range). The Mixing Tee handles a maximum pressure of
5,000 psi (345 bar) when directly connecting 1/16” OD tubing, or up
to 4,000 psi (276 bar) with capillary tubing when using our NanoTight
™
Tubing Sleeves (pages 17 and 19).
NanoTight YConnector
Only 17 nL of swept volume
This product improves laminar fow over traditional MicroTee designs.
The result is less turbulence and mixing when combining two fuid
paths into one, or splitting one fuid path into two.
The NanoTight Y Connector uses an included 1.6” (4.1 cm) long Dual-
Lumen Silica SealTight
™
Tubing Sleeve to accommodate two 360 µm
OD capillary tubing lines. The single inlet/outlet end of the YConnector
uses the included F-242 Silica SealTight Tubing Sleeve, also designed
for 360 µm OD capillary tubing. This assembly holds to 4,000 psi
(276 bar), has a 0.004” (0.100 mm) thru-hole, and a swept volume of
only 17 nL.
The NanoTight Y Connector comes complete with NanoTight Fittings.
The body of this product is made of PEEK polymer, while both of
the included tubing sleeves are made of FEP. Replacement Silica
SealTight Tubing Sleeves and fttings are available on page 19 —
buy F-242 replacement sleeves or choose from the other available
sleeves to connect capillary tubing with ODs ranging from 70 µm to
1 mm. Dual-Lumen F-235 Sleeves are listed on this page.

High Pressure Specialty Tees
Turbulent mixing of solvents often increases outgassing. Therefore,
we recommend solvent degassing when using this product.
Note
See the Systec

Vacuum Degassing Systems on pages 177 –178.
Our Static Mixing Tee on the previous page is designed for fow rates
from 500 µL/min to 3 mL/min.
