Sample and Reagent Tubing for In Vitro Diagnostics

Tubing formulations for samples and reagents typically exhibit low adsorption, a crucial factor in blood sample analysis. They demonstrate outstanding chemical compatibility to cleaning agents, along with being bioinert and highly flexible, allowing navigation through intricate configurations to minimize analyzer footprint.

  • Low Absorption 
  • Excellent Chemical Compatibility 
  • High Flexibility 
  • Bioinert
