BD 427420 - Intramedic Polyethylene Tubing, Non-Sterile Flexible, Laboratory-Grade Tubing for Fluid Transfer

BD 427420 - Intramedic Polyethylene Tubing, Non-Sterile Flexible, Laboratory-Grade Tubing for Fluid Transfer

The BD 427420 Intramedic Polyethylene Tubing is a high-quality, non-sterile laboratory tubing designed for dependable fluid transfer, experimental setups, and general laboratory applications. Manufactured from durable polyethylene, this tubing offers an ideal combination of flexibility, chemical resistance, and structural integrity. Its smooth inner lumen ensures consistent flow and minimal sample retention, making it suitable for precision laboratory tasks across research, academic, and diagnostic environments.

Key Benefits

The tubings polyethylene composition delivers outstanding chemical compatibility with a broad range of aqueous solutions, buffers, and lab reagents. Its non-reactive, low-absorption material helps maintain sample purity and prevents leaching. The flexible yet kink-resistant design supports reliable, uninterrupted flow in gravity-fed, pump-driven, and custom tubing assemblies. BDs precise manufacturing ensures consistent internal diameter, wall thickness, and performance across every batch.

Compatibility and Applications

BD Intramedic Non-Sterile Polyethylene Tubing is compatible with standard laboratory connectors, microinjection systems, perfusion setups, and small-scale pump assemblies. Common applications include:

• General fluid transfer and handling
• Microinjection and cannulation procedures in research labs
• Perfusion and microperfusion experiments
• Sample collection and delivery
• Custom laboratory apparatus, models, and prototypes
• Animal research setups and physiological studies

Usage Guidelines

Cut the tubing cleanly with a sharp, sterile blade if sterility is required downstream. Ensure tight, secure connections between the tubing and fittings to prevent leaks. Avoid overstretching or twisting, as this may compromise the tubings structural integrity. This non-sterile tubing should be sterilized (if needed) using a method compatible with polyethylene; avoid high-temperature autoclaving unless manufacturer guidance supports it.

Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals

BD Intramedic tubing is produced under ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 certified quality systems. Each batch undergoes testing for dimensional accuracy, material uniformity, and chemical compatibility to support consistent laboratory performance. Although non-sterile, the tubing meets standard laboratory-grade requirements for research use.

Comparison with Competitor Products

Compared with generic polyethylene tubing, BD Intramedic tubing provides superior dimensional precision, enhanced clarity, and reduced risk of collapse during low-pressure or microflow applications. Competitor products often show variability in wall thickness and flexibility, which can lead to inconsistent flow. BDs proven stability and material quality ensure dependable performance across a wide variety of laboratory tasks.

Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios

This tubing is routinely used by:

• Biomedical and life sciences researchers
• Academic laboratory personnel
• Pharmacology and physiology researchers
• Technicians assembling fluidic models or prototypes
• Animal research facilities

Best Practices for Use and Maintenance

Store tubing in a dry, room-temperature environment to maintain flexibility. Replace tubing at signs of discoloration, brittleness, cracking, or chemical degradation. Flush thoroughly if reusing for compatible applications. Avoid exposure to extreme heat, direct sunlight, or aggressive solvents not suited for polyethylene.

Regulatory and Safety Information

For laboratory use only. Not intended for implantable or direct patient-contact medical applications unless specifically validated. Handle chemicals and samples transported through the tubing according to institutional safety protocols.
