Laboratory & HPLC fittings

In high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), in-vitro diagnostics and laboratory automation, a connection is never "just a coupling". IDEX Fittings & Connectors (formerly known under brand names such as Upchurch Scientific and Rheodyne) are the worldwide standard for leak-free and reliable connections. Whether it concerns ultra-high pressure (UHPLC) or low-pressure applications, IDEX offers the precision needed to eliminate dead volumes and safeguard system integrity.

Why engineers choose IDEX (Upchurch)

At Inacom we understand that the smallest imperfection in a connector can lead to peak broadening, leakage or pressure loss. IDEX connectors solve this through:

• Zero Dead Volume (ZDV): Optimised internal geometries that prevent liquid from stagnating, which is crucial for the purity of your analyses.
• Superior materials: From chemically inert polymers such as PEEK, ETFE and FEP to high-grade stainless steel. You will always find a material that withstands your specific solvents.
• Innovative assembly: Solutions such as MarvelX™ and MarvelXACT™ let you tighten connections by hand while still withstanding UHPLC pressures. This saves you time and prevents damage to your ports.
