Description
Adapter, PTFE is a laboratory thread adapter that converts a capillary connection to an exhaust air filter connection. Made entirely from polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), it offers excellent chemical resistance for use with organic solvents and aggressive media commonly handled in analytical workflows. The fitting enables secure coupling between capillary lines and exhaust-filter ports, supporting controlled vapour management in solvent supply setups. Supplied as one piece, it is intended for direct integration into existing laboratory tubing and filter arrangements. PTFE construction helps maintain integrity where chemical inertness and clean surfaces are essential. This adapter from manufacturer SCAT is produced in Germany and fits thread-adapter applications in HPLC and related solvent-handling systems. Its focused design—capillary inlet to exhaust-filter outlet—simplifies configuration of exhaust paths without additional intermediate parts, making it a practical accessory for laboratories standardising PTFE fluidic interfaces.

Questions about Adapter, PTFE
What is this article?
Adapter, PTFE is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes SCAT for laboratory use. It sits in Hose connectors, adapters & fittings, inside Tubing, hoses & fittings, in Labware.
A hose connector or adapter joins two lines, or steps one bore down to another. The barb diameter has to match the tube, and the thread has to match the stopcock or the bottle. Most leaks are a mismatch here, not a hole in the tube.
Tubing is how a liquid or a gas moves between two vessels without being poured. Silicone stays flexible and survives repeated autoclaving. PTFE resists almost every solvent and is stiff. PVC is the ordinary flexible line for water and for mild aqueous work. The fitting, not the tube, is what usually leaks: the barb, the thread and the stopcock have to match the tube bore. Glass and plastic apparatus around these lines is indexed under ISO laboratory ware.
