Maintaining fluid integrity during fluid transfer is critical in numerous pharmaceutical and biotechnology applications.
Loss of fluid through migration into the tubing walls can cause inconsistencies in final product results. Tygon® 2475 High Purity Tubing is hydrophobic and will resist the absorption/adsorption of aqueous fluids. This reduction in absorption/adsorption minimizes the risk of fluid alteration in single or repeat use applications.
Until now, clear flexible tubing was restricted from use in many applications due to concern of plasticizer extraction. Tygon® 2475 High Purity Tubing is entirely free of plasticizers. This unique tubing uses the latest in polymer technology to provide an entirely clear and flexible tubing choice for sensitive fluid transfer applications.
Analysis has shown the inner surface of Tygon® 2475 High Purity Tubing to be smoother than other frequently specified flexible tubings. This smooth surface inhibits particulate entrapment onto the tubing wall and reduces the potential for bacteria growth and contamination. A smoother fluid path also improves fluid flow characteristics by reducing surface area and lowering adherence of fluid onto the tubing wall. Tygon® 2475 High Purity Tubing is also unique when it comes to disposal.
In today's environment, incineration is commonly used to dispose of contaminated materials. Many tubings actually contribute to this problem by releasing hazardous byproducts, such as chlorine, when burned. Tygon® 2475 tubing only releases carbon dioxide and water when properly incinerated. This tubing is virtually unaffected by chemical sanitizers and cleaners. As a result, it can be cleaned repeatedly without decreasing its service life. The non-wettable surface of the product facilitates complete drainage of fluid during the cleaning process. Tygon® 2475 has a master file with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Certifications: Meets USP VI and FDA Criteria.
Ordering information: Tubing is supplied in 50' lengths.
