Materials of Construction
TPE
Thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) compounds combine the functional performance and properties of conventional thermoset rubbers with the processability of thermoplastics. TPEs permit fabrication of "rubber-like" articles with the speed, efficiency, and economy of injection molding. Key benefits are low extractables, FDA compliance, Sterilizable (gamma, e-Beam, EtO, autoclave), Select USP VI certified grades available, Latex and PVC-free, Cost-effective vs. silicone, Good sealing performance, Overmold adhesion to a wide range of plastics.
Polypropylene Tubing
Class VI, natural polypropylene plastic tubing has excellent resistance to acids and alkalies. Manufactured from raw materials meeting FDA requirements.
PharMed Tubing
PharMed Tubing is less permeable to gases and vapors than silicone tubing. It is ideal for cell culture, fermentation, synthesis, separation, purification and process monitoring and control. Independent tests show that PharMed Tubing is safe for use in sensitive cell culture applications.
