Hello Everybody,

I am looking for a source of electropolished tubing for HPLC columns with standard 2.1, 3.2 and 4.6 mm ID and 7-8 mm OD. Looking for tubes which can be cut to length.

Thank you.

Hi Vlad,

Are you looking for tubing with which to pack columns w/ end fittings and associated hardware?

I can consider both approaches right now. Ideally we want to machine our hardware (end fittings), so technically speaking EP tubing should be fine. I can be few feet long and we can cut and machine.

I don't like compression ring hardware and you can only do compression ring for 1/4 OD for 4.6 mm columns and prices are not very good :)
