Biocompatible Tubing for UHPLC
IDEX Health & Science introduces the new Upchurch Scientific® PEEK™-Lined Stainless Steel (PLS) Tubing. The metal-free, all-PEEK fluid path withstands up to 15,000 psi, making it the ideal choice for biocompatible UHPLC applications.
IDEX Health & Science introduces the new Upchurch Scientific® PEEK™-Lined Stainless Steel (PLS) Tubing. Coupling the chemical compatibility of PEEK with the strength of stainless steel, the metal-free, all-PEEK fluid path offered by PLS tubing can withstand up to 15,000 psi (1,035 bar), making it the ideal choice for biocompatible applications at UHPLC pressures. Incorporating patent-pending technology, PLS tubing also offers unique and innovative design features that help assure better overall dimensional tolerances (±5-15 µm, depending upon the inner diameter) over traditional PEEK tubing or stainless steel tubing.
The special design features of PLS tubing also allow it to be bent into system-specific shapes, including angles and sample loops, with no loss of performance. This allows PLS tubing to be used throughout the fluid pathway in any area where biocompatibility and high-pressure-holding ability is desired – e.g., from the pump to the injection valve, on the injection valve itself, connecting the valve to the column, etc.
PLS tubing is available in a variety of pre-manufactured lengths and with inner diameters ranging from 25 µm to 250 µm (0.001”-0.010”). Additionally, each piece of PEEK-Lined Stainless Steel Tubing ships complete with Upchurch Scientific VHP One-Piece Reusable UHPLC Fittings.

The Complexity of Oligonucleotide Separations
January 9th 2025Peter Pellegrinelli, Applications Specialist at Advanced Materials Technology (AMT) explains the complexity of oligonucleotide separations due to the unique chemical properties of these molecules. Issues such as varying length, sequence complexity, and hydrophilic-hydrophobic characteristics make efficient separations difficult. Separation scientists are addressing these challenges by modifying mobile phase compositions, using varying ion-pairing reagents, and exploring alternative separation modes like HILIC and ion-exchange chromatography. Due to these complexities, AMT has introduced the HALO® OLIGO column, which offers high-resolution, fast separations through its innovative Fused-Core® technology and high pH stability. Alongside explaining the new column, Peter looks to the future of these separations and what is next to come.
Metabolomics Analysis of Low Birth-Weight Infants Using UHPLC-MS/MS Following Lipid Emulsion
January 10th 2025A recent study aimed to directly compare the changes in serum metabolites among very low birth-rate (VLBW) infants following the administration of the soybean oil-based lipid emulsion and soybean oil, medium-chain triglycerides, olive oil, and fish oil (SMOF) lipid emulsion using untargeted metabolomics techniques.
