Created with a unique
combination of long flex life and biocompatibility,
PharMedŽ Tubing is ideal for life science
applications employing peristaltic pumps.
Maintains Fluid
Integrity During Fluid Transport
Transporting
biocompatible fluids through a peristaltic pump
limits the risk of fluid contact with any portion of
the pump itself. PharMedŽ Tubing has been formulated
to withstand the rigors of peristaltic pumping
action while providing the biocompatible fluid
surface required in sensitive applications. With its
superior flex life characteristics, PharMedŽ Tubing
simplifies manufacturing processes by reducing
production downtime due to pump tubing failure. The
excellent wear properties of PharMedŽ also can lead
to reduced erosion of the tubing interior walls,
improving the overall efficiency of filtering
systems.
Simplifies Cleaning and
Sterilization
PharMedŽ Tubing is
ideal for use in clean-in-place and steam-in-place
cleaning and sterilization systems. It is compatible
with virtually all commercial cleaners and
sanitizers and can be repeatedly autoclaved for up
to five cycle times, without affecting overall
service life. PharMedŽ Tubing also can be exposed to
Cobalt 60 gamma radiation levels of up to 5 megarads
with minimal effect on physical properties.
Superior to Silicone
Tubing for Many Applications
PharMedŽ Tubing is
less permeable to gases and vapors than silicone
tubing. It is ideal for protecting sensitive cell
culture, fermentation, synthesis, separation,
purification, and process monitoring and control
systems. PharMedŽ Tubing has very good general
chemical resistance and excellent acid, alkali and
oxidation resistance. Opaque to visible and UV
light, PharMedŽ Tubing will help to protect
sensitive fluids. Continuous service temperature
range is -60°F (-51°C) to 275°F (135°C).
Facilitates the
Validation Process
PharMedŽ Tubing
complies fully with the requirements of the USP XXIV
Class VI criteria and is non-toxic, non-hemolytic
and non-pyrogenic. In addition, PharMedŽ Tubing
meets FDA 21 CFR Part 177.2600 criteria for food
contact. PharMedŽ Tubing also complies with the ISO
10993 guidelines for contact with blood (or other
body fluids and tissue) for up to 30 days as listed
in the FDA GP-95.
