Watson Marlow - Though platinum-cured silicone tubing is the
industry standard in the pharmaceutical industry, platinum curing, in itself,
does not guarantee a high level of tubing purity with low/safe levels of
extractables. Watson-Marlow achieves ultimate purity by driving off cytotoxic
extractables through post-curing, a process step many tubing manufacturers
ignore. Some producers believe post-curing is not necessary, claiming that the
naturally lower extractables of platinum-cured tubing (compared with
peroxide-cured silicone) is sufficient. This bulletin
outlines the importance of post-curing, describing the key effects on the tubing
and the key benefits for the user.
