Description
Biocompatible,
chemically inert to
most commonly
used solvents, PEEK
tubing is fexible,
offers a very smooth
internal surface and
can be easily cut to
desired lengths.
• Great alternative
for stainless steel
tubing in high
pressure applications
• Many sizes available
in color scheme to
help identify ID
All the benefts of
larger sized PEEK
tubing, while serving
as an excellent
alternative to more
traditional fused
silica and stainless
steel capillary tubing,
capillary PEEK tubing
is available in a wide
range of micro
and nano-scale
inner diameters.
• Available in common
capillary tubing sizes
with tight tolerances
on OD and ID
• Tubing sleeves
available for capillary
tubing connections
Because of the
tight tolerances of
fused silica’s inner
diameters, this tubing
is used for micro-scale
analyses such as
micro and nano-
HPLC and capillary
electrophoresis.
• Most commonly
used OD and ID
sizes available
• High quality,
polyimide-clad
fused silica
• Offered in
convenient, two
meter lengths
PEEKsil is mechanically
strong and has ideal
characteristics for
sealing with metal or
polymer fttings.
• Comprised of
high quality fused
silica sheathed by
PEEK tubing
• Excellent chemical
compatibility
• Very tight
manufacturing
tolerances
• Good replacement
for stainless steel,
PEEK or standard
fused silica
The PEEK Spiral Link
coils expand and
contract, allowing you
to easily move your
system components
or even make
equipment repairs
whenever needed,
without the hassle of
breaking connections.
• Available in several
specifc volumes
• Includes two

fttings
A mechanically
strong and chemically
resistant material,
much like PEEK
polymer, Radel is
frequently used in
medical applications
where repeated
autoclave sterilization
is performed (tests
show product stability
after 1,000 cycles).
Radel tubing is
also transparent,
allowing technicians
to visually monitor
fow through their
instrument. Readily
wetted surfaces help
keep air bubbles from
accumulating on inner
surfaces as well.
• Withstands up to
12,500 psi (862 bar)
• Transparent and
autoclavable
Seamless, pre-cut
316 stainless steel
tubing meets the
exacting requirements
of today’s analyses.
Thorough preparation
guarantees that
the tubing is truly
ready-to-use, with
fat-burr-free ends and
a clean fnish.
• Wide selection
of outside and
inside diameters
and lengths
• Pre-cut to ensure
burr-free, fat
connections
• Many sizes feature a
color-coded band for
easy ID identifcation
