Upgrade To Super Flangeless And BioTight® Peek Fittings

idex flat bottom

Enhance the performance and reliability of your flat-bottom fitting systems by upgrading from traditional flangeless fittings to Super Flangeless or the innovative BioTight® fittings from IDEX Health & Science. These fittings offer superior sealing, increased pressure resistance, and enhanced user-friendliness, making them ideal for modern fluidic systems in life science applications.

Super Flangeless fittings are engineered to provide the highest pressure holding capability available in flat-bottom systems. BioTight, on the other hand, is designed specifically for low-pressure environments and features a low-profile, all-PEEK, metal-free construction, making it ideal for compact systems and sensitive biological applications such as genomics, next-generation sequencing (NGS), in-vitro diagnostics (IVD Bio), and chromatography.

Key benefits of switching to BioTight include PFAs-free construction, easy installation, excellent performance with low torque, and a design that eliminates fitting loosening due to tubing twist or system vibration. These fittings are particularly well-suited for tubing assemblies or setups that require frequent connection and disconnection, offering consistent, leak-free performance.

IDEX makes transitioning to these advanced fittings simple, with direct replacements available for standard ¼-28, 5/16-24, and M6 flat-bottom flangeless fittings. Whether you're seeking better sealing, metal-free materials, or easier maintenance, Super Flangeless and BioTight fittings provide a dependable solution for optimizing your fluidics system.
