Do you experience inconsistencies in your low-flow chromatography over the lifetime of your column?
With new bioinert frits, our PEEK-lined BioVersal™ 1.0mm Column Hardware reduces unwanted sample surface interactions and enables system operation under harsh solvent or pH conditions.
A Smooth Surface Column that Packs a Punch
The PEEK-lined stainless-steel lining of the 1.0mm column provides a metal-free pathway and the structural integrity to pack small particle substrates up to 40K psi. It also provides a consistent and smooth surface to reduce peak fronting effects common with microbore stainless steel column tubes. In operation, the 1.0mm column can be continually subjected to 25K psi for hundreds of injections and can withstand temperatures up to 80°C without sample peak degradation.
Key Benefits and Features:
- New bioinert frit enables a metal-free flow path
- High packing pressure: Maximum 40,000 psi
- Smooth ID for efficient packing
- Continual operational use: 25,000 psi
- Operational up to 80° C
- Excellent durability over hundreds of injections
- Patented PLS tube

How Does a Bioinert Frit Help with my HPLC Analyses?
Consistent Packing
Column tube surface finishes can impact the consistent packing of small ID columns used for microbore applications. Small ID Stainless Steel tubes have inconsistent surface roughness. Common challenges caused by inconsistent surface finishes include peak fronting, peek tailing and poor sensitivity. IDEX Health & Science’s 1.0mm column with the new bioinert frits reduces these effects of stainless-steel tubing and allows for efficient packing of smaller particle column media.
Faster, More Consistent Samples
The smaller bore size is key to analyzing the separation of biologics faster with limited samples and gives you reliable and repeatable UHPLC analyses.
Other Bioinert Column Systems from IDEX Health & Science
We also offer 2.1mm and 4.6mm BioSafe™ columns for HPLC / IC and BioVersal columns for UHPLC. Both offerings are metal-free and can deliver excellent results when running demanding biopharmaceutical and ion chromatography applications.
