Porous Polymers
An updated line of porous polymeric materials is permanently hydrophilic or hydrophobic over a range of chemical and physical conditions. i-Vyon media can be laminated and formed as a composite, as well as modified to work with a variety of chemical groups.Reinforced Plastics
Self-reinforced plastics can bridge the gap between isotropic polymers and fiber-reinforced composites in molded medical devices. The polypropylene product is a lightweight, recyclable material, yielding five times the stiffness and strength of nonreinforced plastics.
Veterinary Control Materials
Both normal and abnormal target values can be provided with a two-level control material. The sorbitol dehydrogenase material has a shelf life of 18 months and a reconstitution stability of 7 days. It comes in a packaging configuration of 6 x 2 ml. Coating Helps Prevent Sticky Situations
