BD 427430 - Intramedic Polyethylene Tubing Coil Flexible Laboratory-Grade Tubing for Fluid Transfer

BD 427430 - Intramedic Polyethylene Tubing Coil Flexible Laboratory-Grade Tubing for Fluid Transfer

The BD 427430 Intramedic Tubing Coil is a high-quality polyethylene laboratory tubing designed to support precise and reliable fluid transfer in research, clinical, and analytical environments. Manufactured with BDs rigorous extrusion standards, this tubing coil provides excellent flexibility, clarity, and chemical resistance, making it suitable for a wide range of scientific applications. The coiled format offers convenient storage, reduced kinking, and quick accessibility for extended or repetitive laboratory use.

Key Benefits

This Intramedic tubing coil delivers consistent inner and outer diameters for dependable flow performance. Polyethylene construction offers strong resistance to aqueous solutions, biological materials, and common laboratory reagents. Its smooth internal bore minimizes sample retention, promotes predictable flow, and ensures high-quality performance in sensitive setups. The tubings coiled design prevents tangling and simplifies dispensing, supporting efficient workflow in busy laboratory settings.

Compatibility and Applications

BD 427430 Intramedic Tubing is compatible with:

• Laboratory pumps and siphon systems
• Sampling and transfer lines
• Analytical instruments and benchtop equipment
• Microfluidic and controlled-flow systems
• Custom research setups requiring flexible, narrow-bore tubing

Typical application scenarios include fluid transport, reagent delivery, perfusion systems, culture sampling, chromatography components, and general laboratory fluid handling.

Usage Guidelines

Cut tubing cleanly using a sterile, sharp blade to maintain smooth edges and optimal flow paths. Ensure proper fitting attachment without overstretching the tubing. Avoid exposure to extreme heat, as polyethylene softens at higher temperatures. Replace tubing regularly in applications involving harsh chemicals or extended contact with biological materials.

Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals

BD Intramedic tubing is produced in ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 certified facilities, ensuring consistent performance and high manufacturing quality. Each lot is tested for dimensional accuracy, material integrity, and clarity. This tubing meets laboratory-grade standards but is not intended for implantation or direct patient contact.

Comparison with Competitor Products

Compared with generic polyethylene tubing, BD Intramedic tubing offers tighter tolerances, superior consistency, and smoother inner walls that enhance flow and reduce sample carryover. Competitor tubing often varies in clarity and flexibility, which can impact precision-dependent laboratory processes. BDs established quality controls make this tubing a preferred option for research and diagnostic environments.

Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios

This tubing is commonly used by:

• Research laboratories conducting controlled-flow experiments
• Clinical and diagnostic labs performing fluid transfer tasks
• Biotechnology and pharmaceutical development teams
• Environmental and analytical testing facilities
• Academic research groups working with microfluidics or instrumentation

Best Practices for Use and Maintenance

Store the tubing coil in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent degradation. Avoid bending the tubing sharply to maintain lumen integrity. Flush tubing before and after use when working with sensitive reagents. Discard tubing that shows discoloration, cracking, or any reduction in flexibility.

Regulatory and Safety Information

For laboratory use only. Not suitable for medical implantation or direct patient applications. Follow institutional safety guidelines when using tubing with biological or hazardous chemicals, and dispose of appropriately after use.
