Why should I buy pre-cut stainless steel tubing?
Pre-cut tubing available from IDEX Health & Science has square, burr-free, polished ends. Such high quality finishes are important in allowing you to make zero dead-volume connections. Maintaining the lowest dead volume possible is vital between the sample injection valve, the column and the detector. Tubing cut with commercially available tubing cutters or a standard file will result in rough, uneven ends. These imperfections provide ample opportunity for dead-volume chambers to form, reducing the overall chromatographic efficiency.
