Product Overview
Polylab’s Straight Connectors (Tapered) are precision-molded lab plasticware designed to simplify and secure tubing connections in laboratory liquid transfer systems. These connectors feature a straight channel with a tapered profile, enabling a snug and secure fit across various tube diameters. Whether you’re running a buffer through a chromatography setup or transferring media in sterile conditions, these connectors ensure tight, leak-free performance without disrupting flow.
Made from high-grade polypropylene (PP), they offer exceptional chemical resistance and physical durability, standing up to daily use in academic, industrial, and research labs. Their autoclavable construction allows repeated sterilization without warping or degradation, supporting sterile operations across biotech, pharma, and microbiological workflows.
The tapered ends allow smooth insertion into flexible tubes, even when sizes differ slightly—reducing the need for clumsy adjustments or multiple connector types. This versatility is particularly valuable in modular systems where tubing sizes may vary between instruments or process stages. The straight shape supports unobstructed fluid pathways, helping prevent flow turbulence and sample retention in analytical systems.
These connectors are favored in applications like gravity-fed fluid transfer, filtration lines, buffer routing, and multi-point chemical delivery systems. Their lightweight, space-efficient design makes it easy to maintain organized tubing assemblies, especially on crowded benchtops or mobile lab units.
Beyond functionality, Polylab pays close attention to molding precision—producing connectors with smooth edges that do not damage or cut into soft tubing. This attention to detail helps labs avoid common problems like leaks, tube cracking, or inconsistent flows due to bad fits.
Their reusability, when properly sterilized, makes them economical for high-volume use, while their availability in bulk packs suits labs needing quick replacements during experiments. These connectors are compatible with Polylab’s broader fluid-handling product range, ensuring seamless integration and easier inventory management.
