Stories & Features

When working with fluidic systems in life science applications—whether in chromatography, diagnostics, or analytical instrumentation—threaded fittings play a critical role in system integrity and performance. Yet, identifying and understanding fitting threads is often overlooked until an issue arises.

To keep costs down while still achieving a low–dead-volume connection, IDEX Health & Science recommends using tubing sleeves. Unlike fixed ferrules, sleeves aren’t permanently attached, allowing them to accommodate different pocket depths. And, because they’re made from extruded polymer tubing, you get consistent concentricity built right into the connection.
