Application
PTFE tubing may be used to connect the gas lines to the ports during Gas Chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis of volatile organic compounds from potato tubers inoculated with Phytophthora infestans or Fusarium coeruleum.
General description
Economical, flexible PTFE tubing is ideal for use at pressures up to 500 psi (35 kg/cm2). Use in automatic analyzer, postcolumn reaction, preparative scale systems, in-stream sampling devices, and when monitoring physiologically important compounds. The maximum recommended operating temperature for PTFE is 200 °C, but short term exposure to higher temperatures seldom causes damage.
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a fluoropolymer which is the most lubricious polymer with low co-efficient of friction. PTFE tubing is chosen due to its excellent hydrophobicity, chemical inertness, and ability to withstand high pressures. It is suitable for protecting the optical fibres.
