Tubing and Adaptors
Different kinds of FEP tubing are available depending on your specific needs.
Tubing adapters are used to connect all the components ensuring it becomes a leak free system.The adapters are soaked in alcohol for a few minutes prior to use, allowing them to expand slightly. Once the adapter is put in place the alcohol evaporates and the adapters shrink, creating a tight connection with no dead volume.
MAB 10 Connectors allow you to connect 0.4mm OD FEP Tubing to 0.68mm OD FEP Tubing.
