PEEK for Analytical and lab equipment
Fluid paths, ferrules and fittings for chromatography, microfluidics and lab instruments where the plastic must stay chemically inert.

Why PEEK Dominates HPLC and Chromatography Fittings
PEEK fittings and tubing hold an inert, low-adsorption flow path for HPLC and chromatography. What that buys you, the pressure ceiling versus stainless, and where it falls short.

PEEK's Chemical Inertness in Analytical Instruments
Why a valve body or fitting that leaches or adsorbs compounds skews analytical results, where PEEK's inertness genuinely holds up, and the short list of chemicals that still attack it.

PEEK vs PTFE for Lab Fittings and Ferrules
PTFE ferrules seal cheaply at low pressure but cold-flow under repeated tightening. PEEK holds a seal through more cycles at higher pressure, at a higher unit cost. Where each one wins.

Machining PEEK Microfluidic Components
Fine channels and small port tolerances push machined PEEK microfluidics to the edge of what a shop can hold. Why PEEK still beats glass and other plastics for chip housings and manifolds.

What to Put on a Lab Equipment PEEK Drawing
Grade, thread standard, pressure rating, fluid path finish and cleaning requirement: the five lines a lab equipment PEEK drawing needs so the first quote matches the part you actually get.
