Dialysis Tubing, 1 3/4″ x 50 ft

Description

Product Overview

Carolina Biological Supply presents a 1 3/4″ x 50 ft dialysis tubing designed for demanding laboratory and clinical environments. Constructed from certified medical‑grade polymer, the tubing provides a smooth internal surface that minimizes turbulence and resistance, ensuring accurate fluid exchange during dialysis procedures. The generous 50‑foot length allows users to configure extended circuits without the need for multiple couplings, reducing potential leak points and simplifying system assembly. Dimensional specifications list a product size of 5.5 x 1.5 x 1.5 inches and a lightweight of 1.6 ounces, making storage and handling straightforward. Since its introduction in January 2023, the tubing has earned a solid reputation, reflected in a 5‑star rating from verified purchasers. This product meets industry standards for durability and biocompatibility, making it a reliable choice for research labs, teaching facilities, and medical settings that require consistent performance.

Usage

The tubing is suited for a variety of dialysis applications, including in‑vitro kidney models, perfusion studies, and small‑scale clinical dialysis setups. Its 1 3/4″ inner diameter accommodates a wide range of flow rates, from low‑volume experimental runs to higher‑throughput clinical procedures. Researchers can integrate the tubing into closed‑loop circuits, extracorporeal filtration systems, or custom‑built dialysis rigs without concern for material incompatibility. The flexible yet robust construction tolerates repeated bending and sterilization cycles, allowing for reuse in controlled environments. Because the tubing is transparent, visual inspection of fluid clarity and bubble formation is facilitated, supporting quality control during experiments. The product’s length also enables the creation of parallel circuits, expanding experimental capacity while maintaining consistent performance across multiple lines.

FAQ

What sterilization methods are compatible with this tubing?

The tubing can be safely sterilized using autoclave cycles up to 121 °C for 30 minutes, as well as chemical sterilants such as ethanol or isopropyl alcohol. It is also compatible with gamma irradiation, making it suitable for a range of laboratory decontamination protocols.

Can the tubing be used for both blood and non‑blood dialysis fluids?

Yes, the medical‑grade material is designed to be inert with respect to a variety of dialysis fluids, including blood‑compatible solutions and synthetic perfusates. For blood applications, it is recommended to follow standard anticoagulation procedures to prevent clot formation within the tubing.

How does the tubing’s flexibility affect its performance in high‑pressure systems?

The polymer formulation provides a balance of flexibility and tensile strength, allowing the tubing to withstand pressures typical of dialysis circuits (up to 300 mm Hg) without kinking or collapsing. This flexibility also facilitates easy routing around equipment while maintaining consistent flow characteristics.

Is the tubing compatible with standard dialysis connectors and clamps?

The tubing’s outer diameter is designed to fit common Luer‑lock and barbed connectors used in dialysis setups. It works with standard clamps and quick‑release fittings, enabling secure connections that can be easily assembled and disassembled for cleaning or reconfiguration.

What warranty or guarantee does Carolina Biological Supply provide?

Carolina Biological Supply offers a limited one‑year warranty covering manufacturing defects. If the tubing fails due to material flaws within this period, customers can contact technical support for a replacement or refund, subject to verification of the issue.
