Performance of gaskets and O-rings in terms of long sealing and purity is of vital importance to bioprocess applications. Since seals are primarily manufactured from elastomeric materials, a basic understanding of the composition of elastomers along with concepts for evalutating both performance and purity is necessary to make an informed decision

for your application.

In order to gain a better understanding of elastomers and their effects on seal performance, Integra has put together an informative set of Guidelines for Gasket and O-rings in Bioprocess Applications that include the following:

Elastomer Basics 

 The basic composition and formulation of elastomers is often misunderstood. Learn more about this topic and how it can effect your process.

Evaluating Gasket and O-ring Performance and Purity 

 Learn about the important factors related to gasket and O-ring performance along with guidelines for analysis.

Evaluating Elastomer Purity 

Gain a better understanding and importance of the purity of all materials in a bioprocess applications.
