The Green Stripe PEEK Tubing 1/16" is manufactured from high-grade polyetheretherketone (PEEK), designed for use in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), medical devices, and analytical instrumentation.
The Green Stripe PEEK Tubing 1/16" is a high-performance polymer tubing engineered for demanding fluid handling environments. Manufactured from virgin polyetheretherketone (PEEK), this tubing combines exceptional mechanical strength, chemical inertness, and thermal stability - making it an ideal alternative to stainless steel or PTFE tubing in a wide range of analytical, medical, and industrial applications.
The distinctive green identification stripe runs along the entire length of the tubing, allowing for easy visual traceability and color-coded organization in multi-line systems. This is especially useful in HPLC systems, diagnostic instruments, and laboratory setups where multiple fluid lines are present.
With an outer diameter of 1/16 inch (1.59 mm) , this tubing is fully compatible with standard HPLC fittings, including PEEK, stainless steel, and finger-tight connectors. Its precision bore ensures consistent flow rates and minimal pressure drop, while the smooth inner surface reduces sample carryover and improves cleaning efficiency.
Key performance features include:
Chemical resistance - Inert to most organic solvents, acids, bases, and salt solutions at room and elevated temperatures.
Thermal stability - Continuous use temperature up to 260°C (500°F); maintains mechanical properties under heat.
Low extractables - Does not leach contaminants into the fluid stream, making it suitable for sensitive biological or chromatographic analyses.
High pressure capability - Withstands typical HPLC operating pressures (up to 3,000–5,000 psi depending on wall thickness and temperature).
Biocompatibility - Non-cytotoxic and suitable for medical device applications where patient contact or fluid transfer is required.
Low water absorption - Minimizes dimensional change in humid or aqueous environments.
Typical applications include:
High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and UHPLC systems
Clinical chemistry and hematology analyzers
Laboratory automation and sample handling systems
Medical device fluid paths
Chemical injection and sampling systems
Pharmaceutical processing equipment
The Green Stripe PEEK Tubing 1/16" is available in various wall thicknesses and lengths, with custom cut lengths available upon request. It is non-flammable, halogen-free, and compliant with RoHS requirements. Whether you are designing a new analytical instrument or replacing worn tubing in an existing system, this product offers a reliable, long-lasting, and chemically inert solution.
