Innovations for HPLC safety

b.safe is a specialist product range dedicated to professional safety solutions for High Pressure Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). Now available through Labtex, the range brings sophisticated, manufacturer-developed HPLC safety products to laboratories across the UK—supporting safer solvent handling, reliable waste management and improved day-to-day process efficiency.

In modern analytical laboratories, HPLC workflows often involve volatile solvents, pressurised systems and hazardous waste streams. Effective safety infrastructure is therefore essential—not only to help protect lab personnel from solvent vapours, leaks and exposure risks, but also to support cleaner working environments, consistent analytical performance and compliant laboratory practice.

b.safe products are developed, designed and produced in-house using high-quality raw materials, experienced technical personnel and modern production equipment. This integrated approach ensures exceptional reliability, chemical resistance and performance across demanding HPLC applications.

From extraction caps and exhaust filters to fittings and solvent disposal systems, b.safe solutions are engineered for safe application, intuitive handling and economical operation—helping laboratories make HPLC processes safer, simpler and more efficient.

Eluent Control Caps

Screw caps made of PP-GF or PTFE screw-on piece for various barrel threads, with a freely rotating PTFE insert. A perfectly coordinated system for the withdrawal of eluents in HPLC applications. Using b.safe PFA fittings or laboratory screw connections for GL18 and GL14 ports, tubes can be guided down to the bottom of the barrel, securely fixed, and tightly sealed at the connection point.

The b.safe ventilation valve is specially designed for the flow rates typical in HPLC systems. The integrated check valve prevents solvent evaporation and allows ambient air to flow into the barrel in case of under pressure. The upstream porous PTFE membrane effectively blocks dirt particles and other external contaminants.

Caps

Screw caps made of PP-GF for GL45 thread, with free movable insert made of PTFE. With PFA fittings for capillaries with O. D. 3,2 mm (thread UNF 1/4“ 28G), blind fittings made of PFA to close unused connections on the HPLC cap and an air valve with service life indicator.

A perfectly matched system for extraction of eluents. Tubing can be inserted onto the ground of the bottle by means of the b.safe fittings made of PFA. The conical seal cone clamps the tubing and seals the connection safely.

Air Valves

Valve bodies made of PP with connection (thread UNF 1/4“ 28G) suitable for b.safe caps. Lid with aeration opening and Luerlock connector, integrated non-return valve with upstream porous PTFE membrane (1 μm), including clip-on service life indicator.

For extraction of eluents, the b.safe air valve is especially adapted to the flow rate in HPLC. The integrated non-return valve avoids evaporation of solvents and lets flow ambient air into the bottle in case of vacuum.

Waste Caps

PP-GF screw cap with PTFE insert, available for a range of container thread sizes, including S55 and S60. Features a freely rotating PTFE insert for easy installation. Supplied with PFA fittings for capillaries with outside diameters (OD) of 1.6 mm, 2.2 mm and 3.2 mm (UNF 1/4″ thread), PFA blind fittings for sealing unused ports, one hose connector for tubing with an internal diameter (ID) of 5.5–8.0 mm (NPT 1/8″ thread), and one GL14 port for connecting a b.safe Exhaust Filter (filter not included).

Designed for the safe collection and disposal of solvent waste while preventing the escape of hazardous solvent vapours. The PFA b.safe fittings allow tubing to be inserted quickly and securely into the waste container. The conical sealing mechanism firmly grips the tubing to create a reliable, leak-tight connection.

Exhaust Filters

Filter body made of PP with connector (thread GL14) for b.safe Waste Caps. Lid with aeration openings and service life indicator with additional label field to monitor service life. Filling made of activated carbon for adsorption of solvents. For safe collection of solvents without leakage of harmful solvent vapours. The activated carbon in the b.safe Exhaust Filter restrains solvent vapours from the escaping air during filling.
