Altron™ LSG PC (Life Science Grade) stock shapes are made from unfilled PC resin. The material is pre-assessed for biocompatibility at the stock shape level for up to 24 hours contact with body and tissue according to USP VI and ISO 10993 and wetted contact applications in bioprocessing.
Altron™ LSG PC offers outstanding impact resistance, toughness, and dielectric properties. While the material is not suitable for steam sterilization and dry heat, it offers good resistance to other common methods of sterilization including EtO (Ethylene Oxide), plasma, gamma- and X-ray irradiation. These characteristics make Altron™ LSG PC components a favored solution for applications in the medical and bioprocessing industries such as medical device housings, analyzers, and bioreactor equipment.
