Ultimate Efficiency
IDEX Health & Science’s column hardware products are designed for customers who seek ultimate performance and efficiency. Our column hardware allows you to achieve optimal and repeatable results consistently in your chromatographic separations, and they are ideal for a broad range of Liquid Chromatography (LC) applications, including biopharmaceutical, protein characterization, and proteomics applications. High-quality column hardware provides superior separation performance and is a crucial factor in the reproducibility of chromatographic data.
Our Column Hardware Product
From normal phase to reversed-phase LC, from Ion Chromatography to SFC, our column hardware serves small molecules and large biopharmaceutical applications. We offer a wide array of column hardware products to optimize your flow path. Our stainless steel columns feature an Isobore™ internal surface finish, surpassing the standard LC grade tubing with an ID surface roughness of less than 10 μinch (0.25 μm) Ra. This advanced finish minimizes wall effects and can substantially enhance column efficiency.
Key Characteristics of Our Column Hardware
IDEX Health & Science column hardware systems meet a wide range of application requirements from low to high pressure. Our systems cover pressure ratings from 5,000 psi to 25,000 psi, comprising a wide variety of materials, including stainless steel, PEEK, and PEEK-lined stainless steel.
