Capillary connectors made from stainless steel 1.4401 (SS 316) offer maximum reliability for High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) applications. These high-precision connection elements ensure pressure-stable connections up to extreme pressure levels and minimize peak broadening in chromatographic analyses through their low dead volume.

Material Properties and Resistance:
The stainless steel 1.4401 used corresponds to the US standard SS 316 and is characterized by excellent chemical resistance to chlorine-containing media and oxidizing acids. With an operating temperature range from cryogenic temperatures to +500°C, the material offers optimal corrosion resistance and forgeability for demanding laboratory applications.

Available Connection Dimensions:
The capillary connectors are available for tube outer diameters of 1/32", 1/16" and 1/8" and are designed as compression fittings. This design ensures secure, leak-free connections even at highest system pressures.

Product Range Includes:

• Ferrules made from stainless steel 1.4401 and 1.4571
• Straight tube fittings with low dead volume
• Column end fittings with internal and external threads
• Capillary adapters and transition connectors
• T-capillary couplings and cross-capillary couplings
• Hollow screws and hollow nuts
• Closure screws and starter kits

The virtually dead volume-free column fittings are optionally available with or without frits and enable precise chromatographic separations without band broadening.

Capillary connectors for HPLC and other products, such as compression fittings and column fittings, are available directly in the online shop of RCT Reichelt Chemietechnik. The range of RCT Reichelt Chemietechnik offers over 80,000 different products, which are used among others in mechanical engineering, chemical technology, process engineering as well as medical technology.
