Clean Cut90 Tubing Cutter, for PEEK Tubing, with Storage Case & 1 Replacement Blade. ARE-Applied Research brand. 10/PK
Additional Info:
The 46040‑02‑010 Clean‑Cut90™ Tubing Cutter Kit (10‑Pack) provides a high‑volume, multi‑user solution for laboratories requiring consistent, high‑precision tubing preparation across multiple instruments or workstations. Each cutter is designed to produce clean, nearly perpendicular (90°) cuts on PEEK and other polymeric HPLC tubing, ensuring reliable system connections and optimal chromatographic performance.
Recognized as one of the most widely used tubing cutters, the Clean‑Cut90™ is engineered for ease of operation and repeatable accuracy, allowing users to consistently generate tubing ends suitable for critical HPLC and LC‑MS applications. Properly cut tubing is essential to prevent leaks, reduce dead volume, and maintain reproducible separation performance.
The Clean‑Cut90™ supports five common tubing outer diameters:
1/4 inch
0.15 inch
1/8 inch
0.105 inch
1/16 inch
Each blade is designed with a flat side and back side, along with a directional indicator arrow that identifies the tubing face that will receive the near‑perfect perpendicular cut. This ensures proper orientation and consistent results for installation.
While primarily designed for PEEK tubing, the cutter is also compatible with PTFE and other polymeric tubing materials, making it a versatile tool for chromatography and fluidic systems.
Each unit includes:
A durable plastic storage case
One replacement cutting blade
