Is Sani-Tech STHT-C silicone hose for biotechnology applications compatible with repeated autoclave, ethylene oxide, and radiation sterilization methods?

Yes. Sani-Tech STHT-C silicone hose for biotechnology applications is compatible with repeated sterilization by autoclave, ethylene oxide, and radiation. The hose is manufactured with high-purity platinum-enhanced silicone, is resistant to high temperatures, radiation and moisture, and is explicitly specified as able to be repeatedly sterilized by autoclave, ethylene oxide, or radiation. It also meets FDA, USP Class VI, ISO 10993, European Pharmacopoeia 3.1.9, and Japanese Pharmacopoeia Chapter 51 requirements.

Can Sani-Tech STHT-C silicone hose for biotechnology applications withstand prolonged exposure to ozone and UV radiation without degrading?

Yes. Sani-Tech STHT-C silicone hose for biotechnology applications is formulated from high-purity, platinum-cured silicone and is explicitly described as resistant to ozone and radiation (including UV). Its wide operating temperature range (â65Â°C to +260Â°C), proven sterilization compatibility (autoclave, ethylene oxide, radiation), and compliance with FDA, USP Class VI, ISO 10993 and pharmacopoeial standards indicate suitability for prolonged use in demanding biotech environments without significant degradation from ozone or UV exposure.

Does Sani-Tech STHT-C silicone hose for biotechnology applications resist leaching of additives into bioprocess fluids?

Yes. The Sani-Tech STHT-C silicone hose for biotechnology applications is manufactured using platinum-cured (platinum-enhancing) silicone of exceptional purity and is specifically formulated for biotechnological use to minimize extractables and leachables. Its compliance with FDA, USP Class VI, ISO 10993, European Pharmacopoeia 3.1.9, and Japanese Pharmacopoeia Chapter 51 indicates that the material has been evaluated for biological safety and is suitable for pharmaceutical/bioprocess contact. The hose does not adsorb or absorb odor or taste, can be repeatedly sterilized (autoclave, ethylene oxide, radiation), and resists ozone, radiation, moisture and harsh conditions. all features that reduce the risk of additive migration into bioprocess fluids. Density, hardness and wide operating temperature range further support stable performance under process conditions. While these characteristics strongly indicate low leaching potential, confirmatory extractables and leachables testing under your specific process conditions (media, temperature, contact time, sterilization regimen) is recommended for regulatory assurance.
