Frequently Asked Questions
1. What are the advantages of silicone tubing in the lab?
Deutsch & Neumann silicone tubing is highly flexible and resistant to extreme temperatures, making it ideal for peristaltic pumps and general liquid transfer where durability is required.
2. Why is Tygon tubing often preferred for chemical transfer?
Saint-Gobain Tygon tubing, such as Type E-1000, is specifically formulated for high chemical compatibility and clarity, allowing users to monitor fluid flow while ensuring the tubing does not react with the sample.
3. How do I determine the correct tubing hardness for my application?
Hardness is measured in Shore A; lower numbers (like Hardness 60 silicone) are more flexible, while higher numbers (like Hardness 77 PVC) provide more structural rigidity for higher pressure applications.
4. Can laboratory tubing be sterilized?
Most silicone tubing from Deutsch & Neumann can be autoclaved, but it is important to check the specific material data sheet for PVC and Tygon types, as their temperature limits vary.
