The Laboratory Hoses and Connections category includes the instruments, accessories and consumables needed to measure, dispense, aspirate, pump and route liquids accurately between vessels, instruments and process steps. Selecting them as part of a complete workflow helps prevent compatibility problems that are easy to miss when individual items are considered separately.
Volume error, unsuitable wetted materials, trapped air and poor connections can affect concentration, recovery and repeatability. The practical choice therefore depends on wetted materials, connection size, manual or automated control, and volume or flow range, as well as how frequently the product will be used and how it connects with the rest of the procedure.
The complete fluid path should match the required volume or flow range, liquid properties, tubing and connection sizes, control method and cleaning approach. This coordinated approach is particularly useful in analytical, life-science, chemistry, process-development and quality-control laboratories, where repeatability and clear operating procedures matter. As part of the Laboratory Liquid Handling Equipment range, these products can be selected with the equipment and consumables used before and after this stage.
Our Laboratory Hoses and Connections range
Our collection covers these hamilton tubes for high-pressure applications, ptfe the preferred material for laboratory tubing, selecting the right ga (gauge) size for tubing, and hoses and connections workflow compatibility, giving laboratories practical choices for routine work and more specialised applications.
These Hamilton tubes for high-pressure applications
While PTFE is robust, the pressure rating depends on the wall thickness and the type of fitting used; Hamilton Luer and HUB connections are designed for the typical pressure ranges found in standard laboratory and microfluidic protocols. The most suitable format depends on wetted materials, connection size, and manual or automated control. Laboratories should also confirm how the product will be prepared, used, cleaned or disposed of between runs. Used correctly, this part of the range helps laboratories move liquids with the control and compatibility needed from initial preparation through final dispensing. The result is a setup that is easier to train, document and maintain.
PTFE the preferred material for laboratory tubing
PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) is used because it is almost entirely chemically inert, meaning it will not react with most acids, bases, or organic solvents, and it has a very low coefficient of friction for smooth fluid flow. For routine and specialised work, assess connection size, manual or automated control, and volume or flow range. Matching these points early helps avoid adapters, consumables or operating limitations being discovered after purchase. Within the wider method, these products help laboratories move liquids with the control and compatibility needed from initial preparation through final dispensing. They should be reviewed together with associated consumables, accessories and cleaning requirements.
Selecting the right GA (Gauge) size for tubing
The gauge size refers to the outer diameter of the tubing; a higher gauge number indicates a smaller diameter. You should select the size that corresponds to the needle or port size of your existing instruments. When comparing options, consider manual or automated control, volume or flow range, and accuracy and precision. The correct choice should fit the sample, expected workload and any equipment already used in the method. This is especially valuable when teams need to move liquids with the control and compatibility needed from initial preparation through final dispensing. Consistent handling also reduces the risk of variation between batches or operators.
Hoses and Connections workflow compatibility
This part of the range covers practical options for hoses and connections where laboratories need to adapt the product to different samples, workloads or operating conditions. Before ordering, compare volume or flow range, accuracy and precision, and liquid viscosity and chemistry. A product that fits the complete workflow will generally be easier to validate, maintain and reorder. Used correctly, this part of the range helps laboratories move liquids with the control and compatibility needed from initial preparation through final dispensing. The result is a setup that is easier to train, document and maintain.
