BioTight® is the newest fitting combination from IDEX Health & Science. While it may be small and compact, it boasts several key benefits that are ideal for low-pressure fluidic applications.
1. Ideal for Tight Spaces:
BioTight® has a low-profile design making it a true finger-tight solution for those cramped fluidic instrumentation spaces.
2. Versatile:
BioTight® is versatile and be used in many life science applications including Genomics, Next Generation Sequencing, IVD Bio, and Chromatography.
3. Easy to Use:
BioTight® is as straightforward to assemble as it is to use. The press-fit design of BioTight™ allows for a tight fit without the need to set a high torque seal.
4. Ideal for Low-Pressure Applications:
BioTight® thrives in low-pressure applications reliably holding up to 100 psi for 1/8” and 200 psi for 1/16” tubing.
5. Metal-Free:
BioTight® is made from all PEEK components, a strong, inert polymer material, and metal-free for biotechnology and ion chromatography applications.
6. Consistent Performance:
BioTight® works with low torque to seal and sealing capability is insensitive to torque which allows for consistent performance in your fluidics platform.
