Peristaltic Pump Tubing suits biopharm applications.
Press Release Summary:
Spallation-free STA-PURE® Tubing offers chemical resistance and eliminates fluid contamination since it produces no particulates. Tubing lasts over 1,000 hours at 600 rpm or over 6,000 hours at 100 rpm. Composition provides flow stability, with virtually no change in flow rate over life of tubing. CHEM-SURE(TM) Tubing offers same benefits, but provides greater chemical resistance. It withstands very aggressive chemicals, including organic solvents.
Original Press Release:
New Spallation-Free Peristalic Pump Tubing from Gore
Elkton, Md., March 18, 2004 - W. L. Gore & Associates, Inc. announces a breakthrough development in peristaltic pump tubing for biopharm applications. New GORE(TM) STA-PURE® Tubing eliminates fluid contamination and offers unmatched chemical
resistance (including DMSO) and tube life.
GORE STA-PURE Tubing is the ideal choice for high purity or long running applications. Since it produces no particulates, it prevents fluid contamination and can extend filter life. Long-term pump testing proves that STA-PURE lasts over 1000 hours at 600rpm or over 6000 hours at 100rpm. Its unmatched resilience also eliminates the need to rotate tubing through the pump head, saving time and reducing maintenance. The unique composition also provides unparalleled flow stability, with virtually no change in flow rate over the life of the tubing.
Gore's CHEM-SURE(TM) tubing offers the same benefits as our STA-PURE tubing; however, it offers an even greater level of chemical resistance. CHEM-SURE can withstand very aggressive chemicals, including organic solvents - even xylene, MEK
and toluene.
