About HPLC peek nuts
WE MAINLY DEAL IN SOUTH INDIA
HPLC Column Peek Nut is the finger-tight fitting tools, which is inert, bio-compatible and convenient. It is compatible with several HPLC solvents and gives you flexibility to interchange the fittings with columns and tubing. Making zero deal volume as well as leak-free connection, it is suitable for large volume processing, filtration and loading. Also, it secures a good seal for both outlet and inlet. HPLC Column Peek Nut provides a consistent as well as leak-free seal by eliminating the excess dead volume. The internal spring mechanism of the nut is capable to hold the capillary tubing at the proper place.
Engineered for High-Pressure PerformanceWith a maximum working pressure of up to 5000 psi (345 bar), this HPLC PEEK nut delivers reliable and robust connections in demanding analytical environments. The precision-machined construction assures a leak-free seal even under elevated pressures, supporting accurate and consistent chromatographic results.
Exceptional Chemical CompatibilityConstructed from premium PEEK material, these nuts are chemically inert and resistant to most organic solvents, acids, and bases. Their biocompatibility and resistance make them suitable for use with a wide range of mobile phases and aggressive chemicals typically encountered in HPLC and UHPLC applications.
User-Friendly and Reusable DesignEach nut is compatible with 1/16 inch OD tubing, featuring a standard 1/4-28 UNF thread that fits most HPLC systems. The reusable and autoclavable design ensures long-term value and simplifies sterilization processes, making them an efficient choice for laboratories focused on sustainability and cost-effectiveness.
FAQs of HPLC peek nuts:
Q: How do I install an HPLC PEEK nut in my fluidic system?
A: To install the HPLC PEEK nut, first ensure it matches your tubing size (1/16 inch OD) and thread specification (1/4-28 UNF). Slide the nut over the tubing, insert the tubing into the receiving port, and tighten the nut by hand to achieve a secure, leak-free connection. Avoid overtightening to preserve thread integrity.
Q: What are the main benefits of using PEEK nuts for HPLC applications?
A: PEEK nuts provide high pressure resistance (up to 5000 psi), outstanding chemical compatibility, and biocompatibility. They ensure reliable, leak-free connections, are reusable, autoclavable, and safe for use with a broad range of solvents, acids, and bases, making them a preferred choice in analytical laboratories.
Q: When should I consider replacing or reusing an HPLC PEEK nut?
A: These nuts are designed for multiple uses and can be autoclaved for sterilization. Replace the nut if you observe visible wear, thread damage, or persistent leaks. Otherwise, reuse after proper cleaning and sterilization to maintain performance and save costs.
Q: Where can these PEEK nuts be used besides standard HPLC systems?
A: In addition to conventional HPLC setups, these PEEK nuts are suitable for UHPLC, preparative chromatography, and other analytical instrumentation fluidic systems that require chemically inert, precision connections and compatibility with aggressive reagents.
Q: What process is involved in ensuring a leak-free connection with PEEK nuts?
A: Proper connection involves cutting tubing squarely, inserting it into the fitting port, and tightening the PEEK nut evenly. Check for leaks after installation. The high-precision machining and surface finish ensure consistent sealing, minimizing the risk of leaks or dead volume.
Q: What materials are these HPLC nuts made from and why is PEEK advantageous?
A: These nuts are made from PEEK (Polyether Ether Ketone), valued for chemical inertness, strength, and high temperature tolerance. PEEKs biocompatibility and resistance to a wide range of solvents make it an ideal material for high-pressure, analytical environments.
