Catalog Number - 49210-40-3M

49210-40-3M ARE‑Applied Research PTFE Tubing is a high‑purity, low‑pressure fluid transfer solution developed for HPLC, UHPLC, LC‑MS, and general laboratory applications, offering an extra‑large internal diameter for maximum flow rates and minimal backpressure in fluid systems.

Manufactured from 100% virgin PTFE resin, this tubing contains no additives or plasticizers, ensuring clean, inert solvent pathways and compatibility with sensitive analytical workflows.

Precision Dimensions – Ultra High Flow Optimization

• Inner Diameter (ID): 0.040" (1.0 mm)

• Outer Diameter (OD): 1/16" (1.6 mm)

• Wall Thickness: 0.30 mm

• Tolerance (ID & OD): ± 0.10 mm

✅ Largest ID configuration supports maximum flow capacity with minimal resistance

Low‑Pressure Chromatography Performance

• Designed for low‑pressure fluid paths, including:

  • Pre‑pump mobile phase delivery

  • Post‑detector solvent waste lines

  • Bulk solvent transfer and drainage

• Pressure Rating: 365 psi (25.2 bar)

✅ Ideal for high‑volume fluid movement with lower system pressure requirements

Virgin PTFE Construction – High Purity & Inertness

• Manufactured from 100% virgin PTFE

• No additives or plasticizers (except trace particles from production)

• Chemically inert and non‑reactive

✅ Minimizes contamination risk in LC‑MS and trace‑level analytical workflows

Broad Chemical & Thermal Resistance

• Compatible with:

  • Organic solvents

  • Acids and bases

  • Aqueous mobile phases

• Maximum Temperature: 260 °C

✅ Suitable for aggressive chemical environments and elevated‑temperature applications

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 when gas impermeability is critical

Flexible & Durable Design

• Flexible for extended routing and system integration

• Durable for repeated lab use

• Natural translucent color allows visual confirmation of flow

✅ Supports efficient installation 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
