A white paper that provides evidence of the positive effects of post-curing on the reduction of cyclosiloxane contamination in silicone tubing manufacture has been published by Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Group (WMFTG).
Watson-Marlow Find the Cure
As a provider of single-use components including peristaltic pump and associated fluid path technologies, WMFTG says that the post-curing process significantly reduces the presence of cyclosiloxane contaminates in silicone tubing. Thereby, drug manufacturers opting to use post-cured tubing and tube assemblies, will benefit from improvements to the safety of the final drug product.
