Epoxy Passes ISO 10993-5 Certification for Use in Medical Devices

Master Bond EP40Med is a two part, medical grade epoxy that combines toughness and a low tensile modulus while still providing a relatively high lap shear strength. It meets the requirements of ISO 10993-5 testing for non-cytotoxicity and is ideal for medical device manufacturing of both disposable and reusable instruments.

Festo PGVA is compact choice for automating liquid pipetting systems

Ideal for medical/laboratory systems, Festo’s compact (8”x3”x8”) PGVA pressure/vacuum generator for “pressure over liquid” pipetting can automate transfer of liquid volumes in millimeter ranges and up, with ± 2% precision. PGVA can be installed on or inside an instrument. It features a 50 dB compressor, proportional control, silencer, pressure sensor, separate pressure/vacuum reservoirs, air filtration to -0.001µm purity, 24V power, and a digital outlet for valve actuation. Flow is servo-controlled by a silent, energy-efficient piezoelectric regulator.
