When selecting tubing for microfluidic applications, ensuring chemical compatibility is crucial for maintaining system integrity and performance. Puri-Flex™ tubing is a good choice due to its excellent chemical compatibility and tensile strength. Designed for pharmaceutical and biotech applications, as well as high-purity settings that require no contact with animal-derived components, it is ideal for long-lasting performance.
However, like all materials, Puri-Flex™ has its limitations, and not every chemical is compatible with it. Therefore, understanding compatibility is essential for preventing tubing degradation and ensuring safety. In this guide, we present a comprehensive table of chemical compatibility for Puri-Flex™ tubing. This table, based on the chemical compatibility data (at 21°C) provided by Masterflex®, is designed to help engineers, technicians, and researchers quickly determine whether Puri-Flex™ tubing is suitable for their specific applications.
Refer to this table to make informed choices and maintain the efficiency and safety of your system.
The chemical compatibility rating key is as follows:
- A = Excellent chemical compatibility (no effect)
- B = Good chemical compatibility (minor effect: slight corrosion or discoloration)
- C = Fair (moderate effect: not recommended for continuous use; softening, loss of strength, swelling and/or shrinkage)
- D = Severe effect (not recommended for use; severe softening, swelling and/or shrinkage)
- N/A = No data available
The compatibility ratings provided in these tables are for general guidance only and may not be complete or accurate. They do not address potential contamination or changes in fluid properties due to tubing interaction. We do not guarantee the suitability of any material for specific purposes or the impact of tubing on fluid quality. For critical applications, conduct specific tests or seek expert advice.
