Catalog Number - 49210-40

49210-40 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 an extra‑large internal diameter for maximum flow rates and minimal backpressure in fluid pathways.

Manufactured from 100% virgin PTFE resin, this tubing contains no additives or plasticizers, ensuring clean, inert solvent transfer 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 in this series supports maximum flow capacity with minimal resistance

Low‑Pressure Chromatography Performance

• Designed for low‑pressure fluid applications, 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 transfer where lower pressure is acceptable

Virgin PTFE Construction – High Purity & Inertness

• Manufactured from 100% virgin PTFE

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

• 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 temperatures

Micro‑Porous Structure – Application Consideration

• PTFE tubing contains micropores allowing slight gas exchange

• Important considerations:

  • Degassed solvents

  • Oxygen‑sensitive workflows

✅ Consider alternative materials where gas impermeability is required

Flexible & Durable Design

• Flexible for longer routing and system integration

• Durable under 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

✅ Select the appropriate length for your application:

• 5 meter roll (this item)

• 1 meter roll
