PHARMED Tubing

Advantages:

• Great for tissue and cell work—nontoxic 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.
