Dialysis Tubing 1in x 10 ft Carolina Biological Supply 4.3x6x1in 0.8oz

Description

Product Overview

The Carolina Biological Supply Company offers a high‑quality dialysis tubing designed specifically for laboratory and scientific research. Measuring 1 inch in inner diameter and extending 10 feet in length, this tubing provides ample surface area for fluid exchange while maintaining a compact footprint for easy storage. Constructed from a clear, medical‑grade polymer, the tubing allows visual monitoring of fluid flow, helping researchers detect bubbles, leaks, or color changes instantly. The product dimensions are 4.3 × 6 × 1 inches, and it weighs only 0.8 ounces, making it lightweight yet durable enough to withstand repeated sterilization cycles. The tubing complies with industry standards for dialysis supplies and has earned a respectable ranking among industrial and scientific products on major e‑commerce platforms.

Designed with precision engineering, the tubing features smooth interior walls that minimize resistance and reduce shear stress on delicate cells or proteins during perfusion. The outer surface is reinforced to prevent kinking, ensuring consistent flow rates throughout experimental procedures. Compatibility with standard connectors and clamps means the tubing can be integrated seamlessly into existing dialysis rigs, bioreactors, or perfusion chambers without the need for custom adapters. The clear material also facilitates quick visual inspection for contamination, a critical factor in maintaining sterile conditions in cell culture and biochemical assays.

Usage

This dialysis tubing is ideal for a wide range of laboratory applications, including but not limited to dialysis experiments, buffer exchange, protein purification, and cell culture perfusion. Researchers working in biochemistry, molecular biology, and biomedical engineering will find the tubing especially useful for maintaining osmotic balance while allowing selective passage of small molecules. Its 1‑inch diameter accommodates a variety of tubing connectors, making it suitable for both small‑scale bench work and larger‑scale pilot studies. The 10‑foot length provides flexibility to set up multiple loops or extended circuits without the need for splicing, reducing potential points of failure.

In addition to traditional dialysis setups, the tubing can be employed in microfluidic devices, organ‑on‑a‑chip platforms, and custom perfusion systems where transparent, low‑resistance channels are required. The tubing’s durability ensures it can endure repeated cycles of autoclaving or chemical sterilization, preserving its clarity and structural integrity over time. For educational laboratories, the tubing offers a cost‑effective solution for teaching concepts of diffusion, osmosis, and membrane selectivity, providing students with hands‑on experience in a safe, reliable format.

FAQ

What sterilization methods are compatible with this tubing?

The tubing can be autoclaved at standard laboratory settings (121 °C for 15 minutes) and is also resistant to chemical sterilants such as ethanol and bleach solutions. Always rinse thoroughly after chemical treatment to avoid residue.

Can this tubing be used for both aqueous and non‑aqueous solutions?

Yes, the polymer material is chemically inert to most aqueous buffers and many organic solvents commonly used in laboratory protocols. However, for highly aggressive solvents, verify compatibility with the supplier.

Is the tubing suitable for high‑pressure applications?

The tubing is designed for typical dialysis and perfusion pressures encountered in laboratory settings. For applications requiring pressures above 2 bar, consider using reinforced tubing or additional support fixtures.

How does the tubing ensure consistent flow rates?

Its smooth interior surface minimizes friction, while the reinforced outer wall prevents collapse, both of which help maintain steady flow rates throughout the experiment.

What warranty or guarantee does Carolina Biological provide?

Carolina Biological offers a limited warranty covering material defects for a period of 12 months from the date of purchase, along with responsive customer service to address any performance concerns.
