Absorption (chemistry)

Absorption is a physical or chemical phenomenon or a process in which atoms, molecules or ions enter the liquid or solid bulk phase of a material.

See Tygon tubing and Absorption (chemistry)

Adsorption

Adsorption is the adhesion of atoms, ions or molecules from a gas, liquid or dissolved solid to a surface.

See Tygon tubing and Adsorption

Biocompatibility

Biocompatibility is related to the behavior of biomaterials in various contexts.

See Tygon tubing and Biocompatibility

Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate

Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate, diethylhexyl phthalate, diisooctyl phthalate, DEHP; incorrectly — dioctyl phthalate, DIOP) is an organic compound with the formula C6H4(CO2C8H17)2.

See Tygon tubing and Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate

Bunsen burner

A Bunsen burner, named after Robert Bunsen, is a kind of ambient air gas burner used as laboratory equipment; it produces a single open gas flame, and is used for heating, sterilization, and combustion.

Cannula

A cannula (Latin meaning 'little reed';: cannulae or cannulas) is a tube that can be inserted into the body, often for the delivery or removal of fluid or for the gathering of samples.

Carbon monoxide

Carbon monoxide (chemical formula CO) is a poisonous, flammable gas that is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and slightly less dense than air.

See Tygon tubing and Carbon monoxide

Carbon monoxide-releasing molecules

Carbon monoxide-releasing molecules (CORMs) are chemical compounds designed to release controlled amounts of carbon monoxide (CO).

See Tygon tubing and Carbon monoxide-releasing molecules

Catheter

In medicine, a catheter is a thin tube made from medical grade materials serving a broad range of functions.

See Tygon tubing and Catheter

Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy (often abbreviated chemo, sometimes CTX and CTx) is the type of cancer treatment that uses one or more anti-cancer drugs (chemotherapeutic agents or alkylating agents) in a standard regimen.

See Tygon tubing and Chemotherapy

Fever

Fever or pyrexia in humans is a body temperature above the normal range due to an increase in the body's temperature set point in the hypothalamus.

See Tygon tubing and Fever

Food and Drug Administration

The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA or US FDA) is a federal agency of the Department of Health and Human Services.

See Tygon tubing and Food and Drug Administration

Hemolysis

Hemolysis or haemolysis, also known by several other names, is the rupturing (lysis) of red blood cells (erythrocytes) and the release of their contents (cytoplasm) into surrounding fluid (e.g. blood plasma).

See Tygon tubing and Hemolysis

ISO 10993

The ISO 10993 set entails a series of standards for evaluating the biocompatibility of medical devices to manage biological risk.

See Tygon tubing and ISO 10993

Kidney dialysis

Kidney dialysis (from Greek,, 'dissolution'; from,, 'through', and,, 'loosening or splitting') is the process of removing excess water, solutes, and toxins from the blood in people whose kidneys can no longer perform these functions naturally.

See Tygon tubing and Kidney dialysis

Microorganism

A microorganism, or microbe, is an organism of microscopic size, which may exist in its single-celled form or as a colony of cells. The possible existence of unseen microbial life was suspected from ancient times, such as in Jain scriptures from sixth century BC India. The scientific study of microorganisms began with their observation under the microscope in the 1670s by Anton van Leeuwenhoek.

See Tygon tubing and Microorganism

NSF International

NSF (an initialism for National Sanitation Foundation) is a product testing, inspection, certification organization with headquarters in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

See Tygon tubing and NSF International

Ozone

Ozone (or trioxygen) is an inorganic molecule with the chemical formula.

See Tygon tubing and Ozone

Peristaltic pump

A peristaltic pump, also commonly known as a roller pump, is a type of positive displacement pump used for pumping a variety of fluids.

See Tygon tubing and Peristaltic pump

Phthalates

Phthalates, or phthalate esters, are esters of phthalic acid.

See Tygon tubing and Phthalates

Plasticizer

A plasticizer (UK: plasticiser) is a substance that is added to a material to make it softer and more flexible, to increase its plasticity, to decrease its viscosity, and/or to decrease friction during its handling in manufacture.

See Tygon tubing and Plasticizer

Recreational vehicle

A recreational vehicle, often abbreviated as RV, is a motor vehicle or trailer that includes living quarters designed for accommodation.

See Tygon tubing and Recreational vehicle

Saint-Gobain

Compagnie de Saint-Gobain S.A. is a French multinational corporation, founded in 1665 in Paris and headquartered on the outskirts of Paris, at La Défense and in Courbevoie.

Shore durometer

The Shore durometer is a device for measuring the hardness of a material, typically of polymers.

See Tygon tubing and Shore durometer

Silver

Silver is a chemical element; it has symbol Ag (derived from Proto-Indo-European ''*h₂erǵ'')) and atomic number 47. A soft, white, lustrous transition metal, it exhibits the highest electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, and reflectivity of any metal. The metal is found in the Earth's crust in the pure, free elemental form ("native silver"), as an alloy with gold and other metals, and in minerals such as argentite and chlorargyrite.

See Tygon tubing and Silver

Surfactant

Surfactants are chemical compounds that decrease the surface tension or interfacial tension between two liquids, a liquid and a gas, or a liquid and a solid.

See Tygon tubing and Surfactant

Thermoforming

Thermoforming is a manufacturing process where a plastic sheet is heated to a pliable forming temperature, formed to a specific shape in a mold, and trimmed to create a usable product.

See Tygon tubing and Thermoforming

Torque

In physics and mechanics, torque is the rotational analogue of linear force.

See Tygon tubing and Torque

Ultraviolet

Ultraviolet (UV) light is electromagnetic radiation of wavelengths of 10–400 nanometers, shorter than that of visible light, but longer than X-rays.

See Tygon tubing and Ultraviolet

United States Environmental Protection Agency

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is an independent agency of the United States government tasked with environmental protection matters.
