When selecting tubing for microfluidic applications, ensuring chemical compatibility is crucial for maintaining system integrity and performance. Chem-Durance® Bio tubing is an excellent choice for advanced pumping systems, offering exceptional chemical resistance, impressive durability under pressure, and long operational life. Designed for biocompatibility and low spallation, Chem-Durance® Bio ensures reliable performance in demanding pharmaceutical and biotech applications.
However, like all materials, Chem-Durance® Bio 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 Chem-Durance® Bio 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 Chem-Durance® Bio 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.
