HPLC Connectors/Adapters
HPLC Connectors and Adapters
Chrom Tech offers a comprehensive line of IDEX HPLC connectors and adapters engineered for secure, precise, and leak-free fluidic connections across high- and low-pressure applications. These components optimize chromatography plumbing, ensure smooth flow paths, and maintain analytical reproducibility.
Our collection includes unions, tees, crosses, and mixing tees for multi-port flow control, as well as MicroTight and NanoPort connectors for micro- and nanoscale systems. Additional options such as Luer, threaded, barbed, and peristaltic adapters support instrument flexibility and easy integration.
Every fitting is precision-manufactured for minimal dead volume, consistent backpressure, and robust chemical compatibility. For help selecting the best connector for your setup, contact Chrom Tech’s technical support.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a union, tee, and cross?
Unions join two lines, tees connect three, and crosses connect four flow paths—providing flexible configurations for branching or merging streams in HPLC systems.
When should I use MicroTight or NanoPort connectors?
MicroTight connectors are ideal for capillary tubing in low-flow microbore applications, while NanoPort assemblies are built for microfluidic and nanoscale HPLC devices requiring ultra-low dead volume.
Are IDEX connectors compatible with major HPLC instruments?
Yes. IDEX connectors and adapters conform to industry-standard port and thread dimensions, ensuring compatibility with systems from Agilent, Waters, Shimadzu, and Thermo Fisher Scientific.
