<p>A fitting (100) for coupling a capillary (102) to another component (330) of a fluidic device (300), the fitting (100) comprising a ferrule (106) configured for enclosing a front part of the capillary (102) and for contributing to a fluidic sealing between the fitting (100) and the other component (330), a ferrule chuck (108) configured for enclosing a back part of the capillary (102), a housing (104) configured for accommodating at least a part of the ferrule chuck (108) and for pushing the ferrule chuck (108) against the ferrule (106), and a microstructure (110) formed as multiple microprotrusions (120) on at least a part of a surface of the ferrule chuck (108) for generating, upon tightening the fitting (100) at the other component (330), a form fit with the enclosed back part of the capillary (102) over a contact area between the ferrule chuck (108) and the capillary (102).</p> |
