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.
