Analytical instrumentation equipment has become more accurate, sensitive and precise, and the industry has subsequently moved towards smaller and smaller tubing for fluid handling
Colder Products has launched a new coupling in response to market changes in analytical instrumentation.
CPC has responded by manufacturing a product that is compatible with this market trend.
They have modified their chemically-resistant PMC12 coupling with an integrated 1/4-28 flat bottom port.
This port is compatible with standard HPLC type fittings and saves the user time by eliminating the need to thread and re-thread a separate fitting whenever the line is disconnected.
By using CPC's new coupling termination, after the initial threading of the nut into the 1/4-28 port, the coupling enables the user to connect and disconnect the line repeatedly without the need to re-thread.
The release of the 1/8inch flow polypropylene coupling with a 1/4-28 flat bottom port responds to an increasing market demand for rigid, micro-diameter tubing and applications with low pressure, dead-volume and high-purity requirements.
CPC's new design is ideal for a wide variety of analytical instrument equipment and applications, including mass spectrometry, flow cytometry, gas chromatography, reagent lines and waste lines.
As with all of CPC's couplings, the new PMC12 with a 1/4-28 termination, also provides the safety benefits afforded by a secure leak free connection.
An incorporated valve ensures the coupling remains clean and leak free, while CPC's unique thumb latch feature provides an audible click that indicates when a secure connection has been made.
The PMC12, with a 1/4-28 termination, is currently available with in-line body, panel mount body, and panel mount insert terminations.
Standard compression nuts and fittings allow the use of a variety of tubing sizes and materials.
The exclusive UK distributor for Colder Products (CPC) is Tom Parker , a specialist supplier of quick connect couplings.
It offers a combination of experience and technical expertise in finding the right connection solution to the medical, biopharmaceutical, and chemical industries.
