FAQ

 

Q: 1. What is the difference between pharmaceutical and industrial tubing?

A: Pharmaceutical tubing is made in cleanroom environments, has higher purity and biocompatibility, and is often sterilizable, unlike standard industrial tubing.

Q: 2. Can pharmaceutical tubing be sterilized?

A: Yes. It is compatible with autoclave, gamma irradiation, ethylene oxide (EtO), and SIP/CIP sterilization methods.

Q: 3. What does USP Class VI mean in pharmaceutical tubing?

A: It indicates that the tubing has passed strict biological reactivity tests for systemic toxicity, intracutaneous reactivity, and implantation, ensuring biocompatibility.

Q: 4. How do I choose the right pharmaceutical tubing material?

A: It depends on the fluid type, temperature, sterilization method, pressure, and chemical compatibility. For example, TPE is great for single-use; PTFE for chemicals; silicone for clarity and heat resistance.

Q: 5. What's the shelf life of pharmaceutical tubing?

A: Typically 2–5 years, depending on the material, storage conditions, and manufacturer recommendations.

Q: 6. Can pharmaceutical tubing be reused?

A: Some types can be reused after proper sterilization (e.g., silicone), but single-use systems are preferred for contamination control.

Q: 7. Does pharmaceutical tubing contain phthalates or BPA?

A: No. High-quality pharmaceutical tubing is phthalate-free, BPA-free, and compliant with RoHS and REACH standards.

Q: 8. Can I order customized pharmaceutical tubing?

A: Yes. We offer OEM/ODM customization including dimensions, hardness, color, packaging, pre-cut lengths, and sterilization options.
