HPLC File, for Stainless Steel Tubing. ARE-Applied Research brand. 10/PK.
Additional Info:
The 46200‑01F‑010 HPLC Tubing Finishing File (10‑Pack) is a high‑volume solution for stainless steel tubing preparation, designed to ensure that tubing ends are clean, smooth, and ready for reliable installation in chromatography systems.
When stainless steel tubing is cut, scored, or snapped, the resulting edge often contains burrs, rough surfaces, or irregularities that can negatively impact system performance. These imperfections can lead to:
Improper ferrule seating
Leaks or inconsistent sealing
Increased dead volume at connections
Flow disturbance and reduced chromatographic efficiency
This finishing file is engineered with the appropriate abrasive surface to remove burrs and refine tubing ends, producing a uniform, smooth tip required for proper fitting engagement and optimal flow integrity.
The 10‑pack configuration is ideal for large laboratories, service teams, and high‑throughput environments, ensuring consistent tool availability across multiple users and workstations.
Why Choose a 10‑Pack Tubing File Set?
This configuration is best suited for:
High‑throughput or enterprise laboratories
Service and maintenance teams
Multi‑instrument environments
Standardizing tubing preparation across technicians
Provides:
Maximum tool availability
Reduced downtime from tool sharing
Consistent finishing processes across the lab
Why Use a Tubing Finishing File in HPLC?
