Biocompatible Tubing for UHPLC
IDEX Health & Science introduces the new Upchurch Scientific® PEEK™-Lined Stainless Steel (PLS) Tubing. The metal-free, all-PEEK fluid path withstands up to 15,000 psi, making it the ideal choice for biocompatible UHPLC applications.
IDEX Health & Science introduces the new Upchurch Scientific® PEEK™-Lined Stainless Steel (PLS) Tubing. Coupling the chemical compatibility of PEEK with the strength of stainless steel, the metal-free, all-PEEK fluid path offered by PLS tubing can withstand up to 15,000 psi (1,035 bar), making it the ideal choice for biocompatible applications at UHPLC pressures. Incorporating patent-pending technology, PLS tubing also offers unique and innovative design features that help assure better overall dimensional tolerances (±5-15 µm, depending upon the inner diameter) over traditional PEEK tubing or stainless steel tubing.
The special design features of PLS tubing also allow it to be bent into system-specific shapes, including angles and sample loops, with no loss of performance. This allows PLS tubing to be used throughout the fluid pathway in any area where biocompatibility and high-pressure-holding ability is desired – e.g., from the pump to the injection valve, on the injection valve itself, connecting the valve to the column, etc.
PLS tubing is available in a variety of pre-manufactured lengths and with inner diameters ranging from 25 µm to 250 µm (0.001”-0.010”). Additionally, each piece of PEEK-Lined Stainless Steel Tubing ships complete with Upchurch Scientific VHP One-Piece Reusable UHPLC Fittings.

Fundamentals of Benchtop GC–MS Data Analysis and Terminology
April 5th 2025In this installment, we will review the fundamental terminology and data analysis principles in benchtop GC–MS. We will compare the three modes of analysis—full scan, extracted ion chromatograms, and selected ion monitoring—and see how each is used for quantitative and quantitative analysis.
Characterizing Plant Polysaccharides Using Size-Exclusion Chromatography
April 4th 2025With green chemistry becoming more standardized, Leena Pitkänen of Aalto University analyzed how useful size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) and asymmetric flow field-flow fractionation (AF4) could be in characterizing plant polysaccharides.
This information is supplementary to the article “Accelerating Monoclonal Antibody Quality Control: The Role of LC–MS in Upstream Bioprocessing”, which was published in the May 2025 issue of Current Trends in Mass Spectrometry.
