Catalog Number - 49210-20-1M

49210-20-1M ARE‑Applied Research PTFE Tubing is a high‑purity, low‑pressure fluid transfer solution engineered for HPLC, UHPLC, LC‑MS, and general laboratory applications, offering a larger internal diameter for higher flow rates and reduced backpressure.

Manufactured from 100% virgin PTFE resin, this tubing contains no additives or plasticizers, ensuring minimal extractables and compatibility with sensitive analytical workflows.

Precision Dimensions – High Flow Optimization

• Inner Diameter (ID): 0.020" (0.50 mm)

• Outer Diameter (OD): 1/16" (1.6 mm)

• Wall Thickness: 0.55 mm

• Tolerance (ID & OD): ± 0.10 mm

✅ Larger ID supports higher flow rates and lower flow resistance compared to smaller ID tubing

Low‑Pressure Chromatography Performance

• Designed for low‑pressure fluid paths, including:

  • Pre‑pump mobile phase delivery

  • Post‑detector waste lines

  • General solvent transfer

• Pressure Rating: 725 psi (49.9 bar)

✅ Ideal for applications requiring increased flow capacity with stable performance

Virgin PTFE Construction – High Purity & Inertness

• Manufactured from 100% virgin PTFE

• No additives (except trace particles for identification during manufacturing)

• Chemically inert and non‑reactive

✅ Minimizes contamination risk in LC‑MS and trace‑level analyses

Broad Chemical & Thermal Resistance

• Resistant to:

  • Organic solvents

  • Acids and bases

  • Aqueous mobile phases

• Maximum Temperature: 260 °C

✅ Suitable for demanding analytical and high‑temperature environments

Micro‑Porous Structure – Application Consideration

• PTFE tubing contains micropores allowing slight gas exchange

• Important when working with:

  • Degassed solvents

  • Oxygen‑sensitive applications

✅ Consider alternative materials where gas impermeability is critical

Flexible & Durable Design

• Flexible for easy routing and installation

• Durable for repeated laboratory use

• Natural translucent color allows visual flow confirmation

✅ Supports efficient system setup and maintenance

Regulatory Compliance

• Compliant with:

  • RoHS EU Directive 2011/65/EU

  • Amendment (EU) 2015/863

✅ Meets global environmental and safety standards

Available Length Options

✅ Choose the appropriate length for your application:

• 1 meter roll (this item)

• 3 meter roll

• 5 meter roll

• 10 meter roll

✅ Custom cut lengths available through Customer Service

Typical Applications

• HPLC mobile phase delivery (pre‑pump)

• High‑flow solvent transfer lines

• Solvent waste systems

• Low‑pressure laboratory fluid routing

• OEM and instrument integration

Important Usage Notes

• Not intended for high‑pressure HPLC pump head connections

• Consider permeability for degassed or oxygen‑sensitive solvents

• Use proper fittings to ensure secure, leak‑free connections
