Characteristics
End users can specify from a standard product offering of Sani-Tech® TA Tubing Assemblies, ranging from 1/8” to 1” ID. Sani-Tech TA Tubing Assemblies are available in either Sani-Tech STHT®-C non-reinforced silicone tubing or Sani-Tech STHT®-R braid-reinforced silicone hose for elevated pressure applications.
Biocompatibility
Sani-Tech® TA Tubing Assemblies are manufactured from the finest grade of platinumcured silicone materials and are validated and tested to a variety of specifications including USP Class VI criteria, ISO 10993 and European Pharmacopoeia 3.1.9. For additional compliance data, please review characterization information on the back page.
Sterilization Methods
Autoclavable
Radiation — up to 5.0 Mrad (50 Kilogray)
Gas — ethylene oxide
NOTE: Sani-Tech® silicone tubing will not deteriorate with repeated autoclaving. This method of sterilization is strongly recommended. Sani-Tech silicones should not be considered for consistent steam applications.
