The dip tubes, made with inert PFA or PTFE wetted surfaces, offer low extractables and leachables performance that decrease the opportunity for transfer of contaminants in life sciences applications such as compounding, fermentation and cell culture. The dip tubes are available in standard and custom connection styles, including sanitary clamp and ANSI standard flanges to facilitate easy installation on existing equipment.
“This style of dip tube is already proven in the semiconductor industry. Now, we can give biopharmaceutical manufacturers the same high-performing technology for the transfer of critical process chemicals,” says Ben Arriola, senior director for the Life Sciences business at Entegris. “High-purity, chemically inert PFA dip tubes can withstand corrosive chemicals, reduce maintenance costs, and most importantly, minimize spills and protect employees from exposure to harmful chemicals.”
Entegris dip tubes perform across a wide range of temperatures and chemistries. Manufactured using FDA and USP VI compliant materials, they facilitate sterilization and cleanability. More information on the PFA dip tube products can be found online at www.entegrislifesciences.com.
