Fittings & Connectors
Biotech Fluidics provide an extremely wide range of highly competent fittings and connectors to join tubing with each other and with several types of instruments performing liquid analysis or processing. The trusted manufacturer of most of these items is IDEX Health & Science, for whom Biotech Fluidics is the global premium distributor. Several of these items might also be recognized under the older brand name Upchurch Scientific, which IDEX acquired in 2004.
Among all the fittings supplied by Biotech Fluidics provide, the patented MarvelXACT™ fitting stands out with its sophisticated design to automatically provide just the right amount of torque for ferrule-free high-pressure sealing even when it is frequently opened and reconnected. This construction is ideal for UHPLC and HPLC column connection. Many other fittings for high- and low-pressure connections, may have a simpler construction, but is still highly fit for their purpose. To sum up, Biotech Fluidics do have suitable fittings for every high-precision instrument.
