PHARMED Tubing
Advantages:
- Great for tissue and cell worknontoxic and nonhemolytic.
- Long service life minimizes risk of fluid exposure; reduces tubing costs and pump downtime.
- Opaque to UV and visible light to protect light-sensitive fluids.
- Heat sealable, bondable, and formable.
- Extremely low gas permeability.
Limitations:
- Potential leaching of USP mineral oil or blend material.
