Valves & Backpressure Regulators
Valves for HPLC
Our valves have low internal volumes and are rated to 15,000 psi
(103,421 kPa). They feature a two-piece stem assembly in which
the rotating upper shank is coupled through a ball joint to a
static lower stem. Only finger-tight torque is required to make
the seal.
Backpressure regulators can improve detector performance by
preventing bubble formation in the detector flow cell. They also
are useful in post-column reaction lines and between detec-
tors and fraction collectors in preparatory work. Regulators are
superior to more specific alternative solutions, like small-bore
tubing, in which pressure varies with flow rate.
Our end-of-line and flow-through backpressure regulators are
adjustable to ensure constant backpressure over a wide range of
mobile phase viscosities and flow rates. The end-of-line model is
available with 1/4-28 plastic flange-type fittings or high-pressure
