Improving Laboratory Equipment with Custom FEP Tubing

When thinking about laboratory equipment used for chromatography, precision and reliability are crucial. We are known for our expertise in creating specialised polymer solutions, and on this project partnered closely with a leading manufacturer to develop a key component: FEP tubing.

Client Needs and Challenges

The client needed a specific tubing solution to enhance the performance of their chromatography equipment. They required precise dimensions to fit seamlessly within internal components, FDA compliance for safe use in laboratories, and a design that included coiled sections to enable smooth movement in tight spaces.

Solution: Custom FEP Tubing

We recommended FEP tubing for its unique qualities:

Smooth Surface FEP's low-friction surface ensures easy movement within the equipment, improving overall efficiency.

Chemical Resistance It withstands a wide range of chemicals commonly used in labs, ensuring durability and reliability.

Clear Visibility Unlike alternatives, FEP's clarity allows for easy inspection inside the equipment, simplifying maintenance.

Design and Development

Our in-house research and development team designed and built custom tools, jigs, and fixtures tailored to the client's needs. This capability enabled them to handle small batch production efficiently and provide quicker turnaround times compared to relying on external suppliers. The tubing was crafted with custom coils at each end to wrap around internal electronics, optimising space use without compromising functionality.
