FAQ from TOSOH
The choice of fittings is dictated by the type of housing containing the packed resin. For stainless steel the columns have 10/32 female inlets and outlets. This is the universal standard for this type of column and we recommend “fingertight” style plastic fittings with PEEK tubing (always 1/16” OD) throughout your chromatography circuit. The same applies to TSKgel columns made from PEEK, i.e. 10/32 fittings. Tosoh Bioscience also supplies glass chromatography columns packed with various resins. These columns employ ¼-28 female threads both in and out of the column. ¼-28 fittings are typically used with 1/8” OD Teflon tubing for low pressure FPLC applications.
