Additional Info:
49210-20-1C ARE‑Applied Research PTFE Tubing is a made‑to‑order, custom continuous length solution engineered for HPLC, UHPLC, LC‑MS, and general laboratory applications, providing higher flow capacity and uninterrupted tubing runs for optimized fluid handling and system efficiency.
Manufactured from 100% virgin PTFE resin, this tubing contains no additives or plasticizers, ensuring low extractables and compatibility with sensitive analytical workflows.
✅ Review custom order guidelines and non‑returnable terms for made‑to‑order tubing
Custom Continuous Length – Built to Your Specification
Supplied in user‑defined continuous lengths
Priced per meter
Eliminates unions and excess fittings
Reduces dead volume and potential leak points
✅ Ideal for OEM integration, custom system builds, and optimized fluid routing
✅ Recommended for finalized system designs and validated applications
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 enables higher flow rates and reduced backpressure

✅ Suitable for long, continuous tubing runs with stable flow characteristics
Virgin PTFE Construction – High Purity & Inertness
Manufactured from 100% virgin PTFE
No additives or plasticizers (except trace particles for manufacturing identification)
Chemically inert and non‑reactive
✅ Minimizes contamination risk in LC‑MS and trace‑level analytical workflows
Broad Chemical & Thermal Resistance
Resistant to:
Organic solvents
Acids and bases
Aqueous mobile phases

Micro‑Porous Structure – Application Consideration
PTFE tubing contains micropores allowing slight gas exchange
Important when working with:
Degassed solvents
Oxygen‑sensitive workflows
✅ Consider alternative tubing where gas impermeability is critical
Flexible & Durable Design
Flexible for custom routing and long runs
Durable under repeated laboratory use
Natural translucent appearance allows visual monitoring of flow
✅ Supports efficient installation and ongoing system maintenance
Spool Supply for Longer Lengths
Lengths ≥ 15 meters supplied on a spool
Improves handling and reduces kinking
Enables clean installation of long continuous runs
✅ Ideal for large systems and extended fluid paths
Regulatory Compliance
Compliant with:
RoHS EU Directive 2011/65/EU
Amendment (EU) 2015/863
✅ Meets global environmental and safety standards
Available Standard Length Options
✅ Use pre-cut lengths if continuous tubing is not required:
Typical Applications
Custom HPLC mobile phase delivery systems
High‑flow solvent routing applications
Continuous solvent transfer (pre‑ and post‑pump)
LC‑MS fluid paths
OEM and instrument integration
Important Usage Notes
Not intended for high‑pressure pump head connections
Consider permeability when using degassed or oxygen‑sensitive solvents
Ensure proper fittings for secure, leak‑free installation
