Key Benefits
The tubings smooth internal bore supports consistent flow characteristics, reducing the risk of blockages or sample retention. Polyethylene construction provides strong resistance to a wide range of aqueous solutions and biological materials. The durable, kink-resistant design maintains integrity during bending and instrumentation setup. BDs controlled extrusion process ensures accurate sizing and reproducible behavior across batches.
Compatibility and Applications
BD 427410 tubing is compatible with:
- Laboratory pumps and micro-pumping systems
- Sampling lines and dispensing devices
- Analytical instruments and benchtop equipment
- Biological and chemical transfer setups
- Custom research applications requiring narrow-bore tubing
Typical applications include micro-volume fluid transfer, culture sampling, chromatographic setup connection lines, and controlled reagent delivery in laboratory experiments.
Usage Guidelines
Cut tubing using a clean, sharp blade to maintain smooth ends. Ensure proper connection to fittings without overstretching. Avoid exposure to temperatures outside the manufacturers recommendations, as polyethylene may soften at elevated temperatures. Replace tubing periodically if signs of wear, discoloration, or reduced flow appear.
Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals
Produced under ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 certified quality systems, BD Intramedic tubing meets laboratory-grade material and manufacturing standards. Each lot undergoes dimensional accuracy and material quality testing to ensure consistent performance in research and diagnostic workflows.
Comparison with Competitor Products
Compared with generic polyethylene tubing, BD Intramedic tubing provides tighter dimensional tolerances, smoother internal walls, and superior batch consistency. Competitor tubing may exhibit variable sizing or reduced clarity, affecting flow reliability. BDs long-standing reputation for precision manufacturing makes this tubing a preferred choice in research and clinical settings.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
This tubing is commonly used by:
- Research laboratories performing microfluidic or analytical work
- Clinical and diagnostic labs needing reliable transfer lines
- Universities conducting experimental and instrument-based studies
- Biotechnology and pharmaceutical development teams
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Store tubing in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight. Avoid chemical exposures incompatible with polyethylene. Do not reuse tubing if contamination is suspected. Flush lines appropriately before and after use when working with sensitive reagents or biological samples.
Regulatory and Safety Information
For laboratory use only. Not intended for implantation or direct patient contact. Follow institutional safety procedures for handling tubing used with biological or hazardous materials.
