Non-toxic, autoclavable food grade vacuum/transfer tubing
PVC for strength, light weight, and resistance to corrosion
Lab-grade material for resistance to chemicals that cause hardening and discoloration
Withstands full vacuum at room temperature
Meets USDA and USP standards
This Nalgene 180 tubing is clear, non-toxic, and is suitable as an autoclavable vacuum/transfer hose with a wide range of uses. It is made of PVC (polyvinyl chloride) for light weight and resistance to corrosion and chemicals. It has a Shore A Hardness rating of 55 for resistance to abrasion and puncture. This food and lab grade material resists chemicals that might cause hardening and discoloration. It withstands a full vacuum at room temperature and is autoclavable for sterilization and repeated use. This vacuum/transfer hose meets United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and U.S. Pharmacopeial Convention (USP) standards and is suitable for use with full vacuum lines, vacuum pumps, food and beverage dispensing, air and water supply lines, and air breathing lines, among others. Plastic tubing is used to transfer liquids, air, or solids, and it is characterized by a round, rectangular, or square shape and a hollow center. Plastic tubing is crimp-resistant and varies in bend radius (flexibility), chemical resistance, wall thickness, durometer hardness, and temperature and pressure handling abilities. The clarity of plastic tubing may be transparent (clear), translucent (semi-clear), or opaque (solid), and the tubing's coloring may indicate suitable applications. Barbed fittings are used to connect tubing or redirect flow in a fluid handling system. Plastic tubing is used in a wide variety of industries, such as agriculture, automotive, laboratory, and medicine. Applications for plastic tubing include blood and fluid handling, peristaltic pumps, electrical and thermal insulation, analytical systems, and food and beverage handling, among others. Thermo Fisher Scientific manufactures analytical instruments, laboratory equipment, consumables, and software under the Thermo Scientific, Fisher Scientific, Barnstead, and Nalgene brands, among others.
