Dialysis Flat Tubing, 100′ Length x 1″ Width -1385198

Description

Product Overview

The Dialysis Flat Tubing roll is a high‑quality laboratory consumable designed for precise fluid handling in dialysis research and related biomedical applications. Each roll provides a continuous 100 feet of 1‑inch wide cellulose membrane, offering a seamless surface that minimizes turbulence and ensures consistent flow rates. Manufactured by School Specialty, the tubing is produced from medical‑grade cellulose, a material known for its biocompatibility, low protein binding, and excellent chemical resistance. The flat design simplifies installation, allowing technicians to cut the exact length required for a given experiment without the need for additional connectors or fittings. The membrane’s uniform thickness and smooth surface reduce the risk of micro‑tears that could compromise experimental integrity. Package dimensions are compact at 8.31 × 3.31 × 0.94 inches, and the roll weighs just 1.76 ounces, making storage and handling straightforward in busy laboratory environments. The product’s lightweight packaging also contributes to lower shipping costs and a reduced carbon footprint, aligning with sustainable lab practices.

Usage

This tubing is ideal for a range of dialysis protocols, including batch dialysis, continuous renal replacement therapy simulations, and membrane filtration studies. Researchers in academic labs, pharmaceutical development, and biotech firms will find the flat tubing especially useful when setting up custom dialysis circuits or when testing new membrane materials. The 1‑inch width matches standard dialysis apparatus ports, reducing the need for adapters and decreasing set‑up time. Because the membrane is cellulose‑based, it supports a wide pH range and tolerates common dialysis solutions such as saline, bicarbonate buffers, and glucose‑containing fluids. The roll can be easily trimmed with scissors or a blade, allowing precise length adjustments for bench‑top experiments or larger pilot‑scale setups. In addition, the tubing’s flat geometry promotes even distribution of fluid across the membrane surface, enhancing mass transfer efficiency and improving the reliability of kinetic data. The product is compatible with both manual and automated dialysis rigs, making it a versatile choice for high‑throughput screening or detailed mechanistic studies.

FAQ

What is the recommended sterilization method for this tubing?

The cellulose membrane can be sterilized by autoclaving at 121 °C for 15 minutes or by gamma irradiation. Both methods preserve the integrity of the material and do not affect flow characteristics.

Can the tubing be used with non‑cellulose dialysis solutions?

Yes, the membrane is compatible with a broad range of aqueous solutions, including saline, bicarbonate buffers, and glucose‑based fluids. It is not recommended for strong organic solvents that may degrade cellulose.

Is the tubing supplied pre‑cut or do I need to cut it myself?

The product is delivered as a continuous roll. Users cut the tubing to the desired length using standard laboratory scissors or a sharp blade, allowing precise customization for each experiment.

How does the flat tubing compare to round tubing in terms of flow efficiency?

Flat tubing provides a larger cross‑sectional area for the same width, reducing resistance and promoting smoother flow. This can improve dialysis efficiency and reduce the risk of clogging compared to round tubing of similar dimensions.

What warranty or after‑sales service is offered?

School Specialty offers a one‑year limited warranty covering material defects. Technical support is available via phone or email to assist with installation, troubleshooting, and best‑practice guidance.
