PRODUCT OF THE MONTH
■ Low-Pressure Molding Materials
2022 Product of the Year
Finalist
Henkel, Düsseldorf, Germany, has introduced three new low-pressure molding (LPM) materials
designed to seal and protect medical devices from moisture, temperature extremes, chemicals,
vibration, impact, and other environmental concerns. Using a gentle, low-pressure process, Loctite
PA 6732, Loctite PA 6682, and Loctite PA 6951 completely encapsulate medical devices including
catheters, tube sets, connectors, and surgical tools, as well as sensors and switches used in medical diagnostic and monitoring equipment.
All three LPM products are tested to protocols based on ISO 10993 biocompatibility standards, including skin sensitization,
with certificates available on request. The single-component, solvent-free polyamides are solid at room temperature.

Product Focus: Disposables
■ Micro-Metallizer Plating Pens
Micro-metallizer kits from Hunter Products,
Flemington, NJ, use disposable pen cartridges
to enable switching between materials without
having to stop to prepare the plating solution
needed. Gold, silver, rhodium, palladium,
nickel, copper, tin, zinc, black nickel, and chrome pens are available.
The environmentally friendly, low-cost disposable applicators allow a
variety of plating possibilities without solution preparation, including
contact repair, prototype development, electronic instrument repair,
medical instrument repair, etc. Each kit includes a power supply but
can be used with any variable DC that supplies 12 V, at 0.1 A.

■ Evaluation Kit for
Single-Use Sensor
A single-use liquid flow sensor series
from Sensirion, Stäfa, Switzerland, is suitable
for fast, precise, and reliable measurements
of the lowest flow rates in biomedical applications.
The evaluation kit for the LD20-0600L version is now
also available from distributors. The liquid flow sensor is based on
the company's CMOSens® technology and optimizes costs by simplifying
the design. Luer lock fittings ensure safe and secure integration
into the fluidic line. The straight and unobstructed flow channel
design has no moving parts. Medical-grade wetted materials provide
outstanding chemical resistance and excellent media compatibility.

■ Lab Management Software
Instron, Norwood, MA, has launched a
networked lab management solution for
Bluehill Universal software. Bluehill Central
allows lab managers to remotely manage all
test systems running Bluehill Universal,
regardless of the number of systems or their location in the world. The
new software uses a single database to manage Instron systems and data at
the enterprise level. This platform uses a single database to allow lab managers
to remotely manage a wide range of tasks across all the frames on
their network, including all Bluehill Universal users and permissions, test
method templates, results, file revision approvals, and audit trail data.

■ Bioprocessing
Single-Use Disposables
Risk-based extractables and
leachables (E&L) studies of plastic
single-use disposable systems
(SUS) used in bioprocessing are available from Intertek
Allentown, Allentown, PA. The studies are designed to help manufacturers
assess and control risks due to leachables from SUS
components. E&L study and method setup includes a comprehensive
analysis of the extractables and leachables, including
both volatile and nonvolatile compounds. The extractables study
involves multiple techniques, and the data supports the assessment
of potential leachables present in the final product that
cause safety concerns.
