Connecting to Bio-Rad’s
Low-Pressure Chromatography
Systems and Other Liquid
Chromatography Systems
Foresight™ columns have standard HPLC connections
(M10–32 UNF for 1/16" tubing) which make them
compatible with many liquid chromatography systems.
2.1 Preparation of Column Tubings
2.1.1 For Bio-Rad Laboratories’ BioLogic Duoflow ™
system, 1/16" OD inlet and outlet tubings are
recommended. If the DuoFlow system tubings
have male 1/4–28 fittings attached, use male
10–32 to female 1/4–28 adaptors
(catalog #750-0564) to connect column to
DuoFlow system. Alternatively, use long
10–32 fittings (catalog #760-1311) to attach
to the tubing.
2.1.2 For GE Healthcare ÄKTA systems, 1/16" OD
inlet and outlet tubings are recommended. If
the system tubings have male 1/16" fittings,
these will attach directly to the column. If tubing
fittings are required, use long 10–32 fittings
(catalog #760-1311) to attach to the tubings.
