the EXP®2 Fittings offer hand-tight connections rated to 20,000+ psi.

EXP®
With patented Titanium Hybrid Ferrule

The patented Titanium Hybrid Ferrule integrates the resilience of titanium with the proven sealing ability of PEEK in a superb one-piece design, providing a perfect seal with every connection.

The swage can be released without tools to adjust to the different port depths of various hardware. This adjustability provides value through repeated zero-dead-volume connections with any port configuration.

EXP®2
Fitting system – SS Tubing

Optimize introduces EXP®2 – the next generation of EXP® UHPLC fitting technology. Featuring a small 3/16” hex head EXP®2 Nut, the new EXP®2 Driver and the original Titanium Hybrid Ferrule, the EXP®2 Fittings offer hand-tight connections rated to 20,000+ psi. The EXP®2 nuts are available with 6-32, 6-40 and 10-32 threads and are scaled down to allow for maximum working room in cramped spaces. The EXP®2 Driver is a small, easy to use knurled torque driver which snaps onto the nuts for hand-tightening and loosening. The EXP®2 Driver is slotted and can be removed from the nut and tubing after use.

Both the EXP® and EXP®2 Fitting Systems offer products which can be reused in different ports for the best possible connections. These products eliminate the need to cut off and replace swaged ferrules.
