A chromatography column, which comprises: a) an inner tube extending along a longitudinal axis from an inner tube first end to an inner tube second end, wherein an inner lumen defined by an inner annular surface extends through the inner tube to the inner tube first and second ends, and wherein the inner tube has an annular outer surface providing an inner tube outer diameter, wherein the inner surface of the inner tube has a surface roughness that is greater than zero, but equal to or less than 0.4064 μm (16 micro inch) Ra; b) a middle tube extending along the longitudinal axis from a middle tube first end to a middle tube second end, wherein a middle lumen defined by middle annular surface extends through the middle tube to the middle tube first and second ends, and wherein the middle tube has an annular outer surface providing a middle tube outer diameter; and c) an outer tube extending along the longitudinal axis from an outer tube first end to an outer tube second end, wherein an outer lumen defined by outer annular surface extends through the outer tube to the first and second outer tube ends, and wherein the outer tube has an annular outer surface providing an outer tube outer diameter, d) wherein the middle lumen through the middle tube is sized to receive the annular outer surface of the inner tube is a first snug-fit relationship, and wherein the outer lumen through the outer tube is sized to receive the annular outer surface of the middle tube in a second snug-fit relationship so that the inner tube resides inside the middle tube and the middle tube resides inside the outer tube, and e) wherein the inner tube is selected from the group consisting of 316 stainless steel, 316 LVM stainless steel, and pure stainless steel, and the middle and outer tubes are selected from the group consisting of 304 stainless steel and 17-7PH stainless steel, or wherein the inner tube is commercially pure titanium, the middle tube is 17-7PH stainless steel, and the outer tube is 304 stainless steel. a) an inner tube extending along a longitudinal axis from an inner tube first end to an inner tube second end, wherein an inner lumen defined by an inner annular surface extends through the inner tube to the inner tube first and second ends, and wherein the inner tube has an annular outer surface providing an inner tube outer diameter, wherein the inner surface of the inner tube has a surface roughness that is greater than zero, but equal to or less than 0.4064 μm (16 micro inch) Ra; b) a middle tube extending along the longitudinal axis from a middle tube first end to a middle tube second end, wherein a middle lumen defined by middle annular surface extends through the middle tube to the middle tube first and second ends, and wherein the middle tube has an annular outer surface providing a middle tube outer diameter; and c) an outer tube extending along the longitudinal axis from an outer tube first end to an outer tube second end, wherein an outer lumen defined by outer annular surface extends through the outer tube to the first and second outer tube ends, and wherein the outer tube has an annular outer surface providing an outer tube outer diameter, d) wherein the middle lumen through the middle tube is sized to receive the annular outer surface of the inner tube is a first snug-fit relationship, and wherein the outer lumen through the outer tube is sized to receive the annular outer surface of the middle tube in a second snug-fit relationship so that the inner tube resides inside the middle tube and the middle tube resides inside the outer tube, and e) wherein the inner tube is selected from the group consisting of 316 stainless steel, 316 LVM stainless steel, and pure stainless steel, and the middle and outer tubes are selected from the group consisting of 304 stainless steel and 17-7PH stainless steel, or <EOS>
