Flared tubing reduces dead volumes and carryover
Processing hazardous fluids can be potentially dangerous with poor connections in analytical instruments.
Sample, reagent, wash, waste and other fluids pass smoothly through the precision bends and coils of thermoformed tubing, minimizing blockages and maintaining desired flow rate.
The tubing design creates a one way fit, ensuring that assemblies can only be installed in the correct direction.
The ends of the thermoformed fluoropolymer tubing are flared using Diba's proprietary thermal forming technique and backed with a washer and threaded bottom seal fitting to create a leak tight seal.
Thermoformed tubing can be configured in any shape needed.
Available tubing materials include FEP, PTFE, PFA, ETFE, PVC, LDPE, PVDF, TPU, and PEEK.
With the ability to maintain tight tolerances, Diba offers inside diameters from .010" to .875" and outside diameter of 1.00".
Assemblies can be custom labeled and packaged, with nine distinct fitting colours available, to speed instrument build cycle and field service times.
Diba's technical staff is available to assist in specifying configurations suited to any application.
