Plastic Tubing
Plastic tubing of various lengths and bores constructed of materials suitable for general laboratory, biopharmaceutical, food and beverage, medical, vacuum, low-pressure, high-pressure, cleanroom or environmental applications. Products may be chemical- or corrosion-resistant. Formulated for resistance to flex fatigue and abrasion, plastic tubing is more flexible and less permeable than rubber tubing.
How Is Plastic Tubing Used?
Flexible plastic tubing may be used as transfer lines for contamination fluid control, hydraulics, protective jacketing, vacuum pump and diaphragm pump feeds and discharges, refrigeration, water and fluid lines, food and beverage, instrumentation, research laboratories, agriculture, material handling, air and gas lines, chemical lines and pharmaceuticals.
Types of Plastic Tubing:
• PVC: lightweight and flexible, will retain its bore on bending and can be sterilized up to 121°C
• Silicone: ideal where a hard-wearing material is needed, including transfer of liquids or higher temperature environments
• LDPE: good for general low pressure and temperature, instrumentation, corrosive atmosphere, and food processing
• PTFE: has excellent chemical-resistant and temperature-resistant properties
• PE: flexible, lightweight, durable, and corrosion resistant, used for a wide range of liquid, gas, and fluid transfer applications
• FEP: clear, small-diameter tubing, the economical choice for chemical resistance and broad temperature exposure
• PEEK: high-performance polymer with mechanical and chemical resistance, and highly resistant to thermal degradation

Electron Microscopy Sciences EMS Staining Plate for Electron Microscopy
The EMS Staining plate for Electron Microscopy was developed by Dr. Miguel Berrios, at SUNY at Stony Brook. The chemical etching process, antibody incubations and final staining with heavy metal salts of each grid is performed in the small cone-shaped wells on the EMS staining plate.
The base plate is a solid piece of chemical-resistant silicone with 96 cone-shaped wells organized in parallel rows of eight, using the lid of a 96-well Falcon 3072 Microtest III Plate as a cover. The base has two notches to serve for orientation and a lip where the cover rests. Each well is an inverted cone 7 mm in diameter and 2 mm deep. Grids either float or rest at the bottom of each well. The wells allow incubation of a grid in 12-60 microliters of solution without reagent loss due to adsorption or cross contamination, even when the plate is tilted up at 70 degree. Due to the shape of the well, the flat surface of the grids never come into contact with the walls of the well.
