Abstract: LC techniques are disclosed. The LC technique includes providing a liquid chromatography system having a coated metallic fluid-contacting element, and transporting a fluid to contact the coated metallic fluid contacting element. Conditions for the transporting of the fluid are selected from the group consisting of the temperature of the fluid being greater than 150 degree Celsius, pressure urging the fluid being greater than 60 MPa, the fluid having a protein-containing analyte incompatible with one of titanium and polyether ether ketone, the fluid having a chelating agent incompatible with the one or both of the titanium or the polyether ether ketone.

Abstract: A coated system for containing or conveying a hydrogen-containing fluid including a hydrogen susceptible metallic substrate and a coating on the hydrogen susceptible metallic substrate. The hydrogen-containing fluid is in contact with the coating and the coating reduces or eliminates the effect of hydrogen on the hydrogen susceptible metallic substrate. A coating process for coating a hydrogen susceptible metallic substrate is also disclosed.

Abstract: A spooled arrangement and a process of producing a spooled arrangement are disclosed. The spooled arrangement includes a substrate, the substrate being metal or metallic. The substrate has an inner surface and an outer surface, the inner surface and the outer surface being in a furled configuration to define the spooled arrangement. The inner surface and the outer surface have a coating, the coating being an amorphous silicon coating, a silicon-oxygen-carbon-containing coating, a silicon-nitrogen-containing coating, a silicon-fluorine-carbon-containing coating, or a combination thereof. The process includes producing the spooled arrangement.
