Upchurch Tubing Sleeves

As most capillary tubing connections are made into coned receiving ports, where the port is not designed to be used with capillary tubing directly, special care must be used to ensure a good connection. While custom ferrules can help make these connections, they only offer a fixed-length nose — and because most tubing pockets will vary slightly in length, this can lead to leaking or dead volume. Our Sleeves allow a capillary tubing connection is standard sized ports.

To help save overall expense while maintaining a concentric connection with minimal dead volume, Upchurch  / IDEX Health & Science recommends the use of sleeves.
