PharMed
®
BPT biocompatible tubing is ideal for use in peristaltic pumps and
cell cultures. PharMed
®
BPT tubing is less permeable to gases and vapors
than silicone tubing and is ideal for protecting sensitive cell cultures, fer-
mentation, synthesis, separation, purification, and process monitoring and
control systems. PharMed
®
BPT tubing has been formulated to withstand the
rigors of peristaltic pumping action while providing the biocompatible fluid
surface required in sensitive applications. With its superior flex life charac-
teristics, PharMed
®
tubing simplifies manufacturing processes by reducing
production downtime due to pump tubing failure. The excellent wear prop-
erties of PharMed
®
BPT translate to reduced erosion of interior tubing walls,
improving overall efficiency of filtering systems.
