BD 427436 - Intramedic Polyethylene Tubing, 0.047" Diameter Flexible, Laboratory-Grade Tubing for Precision Fluid Handling

BD 427436 - Intramedic Polyethylene Tubing, 0.047" Diameter Flexible, Laboratory-Grade Tubing for Precision Fluid Handling

The BD 427436 Intramedic Polyethylene Tubing is a high-quality laboratory tubing featuring a 0.047-inch internal diameter designed for precise and controlled fluid transfer in research, diagnostics, and experimental applications. Manufactured from premium polyethylene, this tubing offers excellent flexibility, consistent wall thickness, and strong chemical resistance, making it ideal for general lab use, microfluidic setups, and specialized scientific procedures. Its smooth inner lumen ensures accurate flow and minimizes sample retention.

Key Benefits

This tubing offers superior dimensional stability, maintaining shape and flow under routine lab conditions. Its polyethylene composition supports compatibility with a broad range of aqueous solutions, buffers, and laboratory reagents. The 0.047" diameter allows fine control of low-volume transfers, while the non-reactive material prevents leaching and contamination. BDs precision manufacturing provides consistent inner and outer diameters for reliable, reproducible performance.

Compatibility and Applications

BD Intramedic tubing is compatible with standard luer fittings, micro-delivery systems, cannulation tools, and small-scale pump assemblies. It is commonly used for:

• Microinjection and microperfusion procedures
• Fluid transfer in research and analytical labs
• Perfusion experiments and physiological studies
• Custom laboratory apparatus and prototypes
• Animal research involving controlled delivery
• General sample handling and low-volume dispensing

Usage Guidelines

Cut tubing with a clean, sharp blade to maintain smooth edges and prevent lumen deformation. Connect firmly to compatible fittings and avoid excessive stretching or bending. If sterility is required for downstream use, apply a validated sterilization method suitable for polyethylene (avoid high-temperature autoclaving unless approved). Store in a cool, dry area to maintain flexibility and durability.

Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals

BD Intramedic tubing is produced in ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 certified facilities and undergoes rigorous testing for dimensional accuracy, material consistency, and chemical compatibility. Although supplied non-sterile, it meets laboratory-grade specifications for research environments.

Comparison with Competitor Products

Compared with generic polyethylene tubing, BD Intramedic tubing offers more consistent wall thickness, superior clarity, and a lower risk of collapse during low-pressure flow. Competitor tubing may vary in diameter or stiffness, leading to uneven flow or unreliable experimental outcomes. BDs long-established reliability ensures stable, reproducible performance across a wide range of laboratory applications.

Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios

This tubing is routinely used by:

• Biomedical research labs
• Academic teaching laboratories
• Pharmacology and physiology researchers
• Technicians assembling fluidic systems or prototypes
• Animal research and behavioral science teams

Best Practices for Use and Maintenance

Inspect tubing before each use for signs of cracking or discoloration. Avoid sharp bends that could reduce flow. Replace tubing immediately if it shows wear or chemical degradation. Rinse thoroughly between uses if handling compatible reagents. Protect from direct sunlight and heat to prevent premature aging.

Regulatory and Safety Information

For laboratory use only. Not intended for implantable or direct patient-contact use unless separately validated. Follow institutional safety protocols when transporting biological samples or chemicals through the tubing.
