Shore durometers are used to determine the hardness of a material, for example polmers or rubbers. The two most common scales, using slightly different measurement systems, are the ASTM D2240 type A and type D scales. Durometer measures the depth of an indentation in the material created by a given … View All Blog

Tygon tubing is widely used in microfluidics, thanks to its high quality and number of formulations available. While some are most suited for peristaltic pumping, others are resistant to harsh chemicals, or certified for biopharmaceutical applications. In the below table, we have listed the hardnes … View All Blog

Tygon tubes are available in a wide range of formulations, which differ in terms of chemical compatibility. This table should be used to determine the best Tygon formulation according to the chemicals used in your experiment. The following codes are used in the table below: NR = not recommended U … View All Blog

This table gives the number of hours until failure of 1/4" OD x 3/8" OD Tygon tubing of different formulations, used at 600 rpm with a 3-roller pump head at room temperature. In microfluidics, peristaltic pumps are mostly used for low flow rates, and therefore low pump speed. Under these conditions … View All Blog
