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.
See Tygon tubing and Bunsen burner
Butanone
Butanone, also known as methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) or ethyl methyl ketone, is an organic compound with the formula CH3C(O)CH2CH3.
California Air Resources Board
The California Air Resources Board (CARB or ARB) is an agency of the government of California that aims to reduce air pollution.

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 dioxide
Carbon dioxide is a chemical compound with the chemical formula.
See Tygon tubing and Carbon dioxide
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.
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.
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.
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.
See Tygon tubing and Saint-Gobain
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.
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.
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.
See Tygon tubing and United States Environmental Protection Agency
United States Pharmacopeia
The United States Pharmacopeia (USP) is a pharmacopeia (compendium of drug information) for the United States published annually by the over 200-year old United States Pharmacopeial Convention (usually also called the USP), a nonprofit organization that owns the trademark and also owns the copyright on the pharmacopeia itself.
