The IDEX F-181 MicroTight PEEK Tubing Sleeve, Yellow, 0.007 in (F-181; Cole-Parmer item 02017-78) is a biocompatible PEEK tubing sleeve designed to create concentric connections between MicroTight accessories and 125-165 µm OD capillary tubing. It features a 0.007 in internal diameter, 0.025 in outside diameter and a maximum pressure rating of 4000 psi (276 bar).
Key Features
- Biocompatible PEEK construction, providing excellent chemical resistance for fluidic connections
- Designed for 125-165 µm OD capillary tubing, maintaining the correct fit for the F-181 configuration
- 0.007 in internal diameter and 0.025 in outside diameter, providing the verified MicroTight sleeve dimensions
- Concentric connection with minimal dead volume, supporting efficient capillary fluid paths
- 4000 psi maximum pressure rating, equivalent to 276 bar
- Maximum operating temperature of 125°C, supporting elevated-temperature fluidic applications
- Yellow colour coding, allowing straightforward identification from other MicroTight sleeve sizes
- Adaptable sleeve positioning, with the sleeve not permanently attached to a ferrule so it can accommodate varying tubing pocket depths
Note: This product has been listed as discontinued by the manufacturer, with no direct substitute currently identified. Contact John Morris Group to confirm current availability or to discuss suitable alternatives.
Benefits
- Helps minimise unwanted internal volume by maintaining a concentric capillary tubing connection.
- Simplifies identification and selection through size-specific yellow colour coding.
- Accommodates different tubing pocket depths because the sleeve can move independently of the ferrule.
- Provides a chemically resistant, biocompatible connection option for compatible MicroTight fluidic systems.
Why Choose the IDEX F-181 MicroTight PEEK Tubing Sleeve, Yellow, 0.007 in?
The IDEX F-181 provides a precisely sized PEEK interface for 125-165 µm OD capillary tubing, combining low-dead-volume connection geometry with a 4000 psi pressure rating. Its adaptable sleeve design and colour coding support straightforward installation and identification within MicroTight fluidic assemblies. As IDEX currently lists F-181 as obsolete, contact John Morris Group to confirm availability or discuss an appropriate alternative.
