Product Features
1. Shape Characteristics
1)Overall Contour:The seal has a relatively regular three-dimensional shape. Its bottom has a relatively wide base. This base works to support the seal stably and fit the mounting surface. This structural design matches the precision assembly requirements of Diagnostic Device Gaskets and Medical Grade Silicone Seals.
2)Three-Dimensional Structure:The upper part of the seal has a semi-enclosed convex structure. The convex part has an internal partition design. This design makes the seal’s structural strength and stability better. It also makes sure the seal works with the complex interface structures of IVD equipment. This is different from the simple planar design of Medical Vial Cap Seals.
2. Functions
1)Sealing and Leak Prevention:It’s used in parts of IVD equipment like sample tube interfaces, reagent bottle connections, and reaction chambers. It stops samples and reagents from leaking out. This makes sure the quantity of samples and reagents is accurate during testing. It avoids two problems: test result deviations caused by leakage, and contamination or corrosion of the equipment interior. Its leak-proof performance is the same as the core function of Sterile Medical Seals—keeping medical fluids from leaking or getting contaminated.
2)Cross-Contamination Prevention:It seals effectively to separate different samples and reagents. This stops cross-contamination between different samples or reagents when the equipment is working. This makes sure test results are accurate and reliable. This critical protective effect helps meet the hygienic requirements of In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) Equipment Accessories.
3)Maintaining Internal Environment Stability:Some IVD test items are sensitive to environmental conditions—like air pressure and humidity. The seal can keep the equipment’s internal environment stable. This stops external things from interfering with the testing process. It also makes test precision better. This ability to control the environment makes IVD Seals useful for more than just basic sealing. It’s similar to how Freezer Tube Seals adapt to temperature-sensitive storage scenarios.
3. Required Characteristics
1)Biocompatibility:It needs to touch human samples—like blood and body fluids. So the seal’s material must have great biocompatibility. It has to be non-toxic and non-irritating. It also can’t affect samples or have chemical reactions with components in samples (because that would interfere with test results). This is a basic requirement for all Medical Grade Silicone Seals and Medical Device Seals that touch biological samples.
2)Chemical Stability:It must stand different chemical reagents used in the in vitro diagnostic process. Like acid-base reagents and enzyme preparations. In different chemical environments, the material won’t swell, change shape, or get worse. It always keeps good sealing performance. This stability is essential for Diagnostic Device Gaskets to adapt to the diverse chemical conditions of IVD tests.
3)Strong Sealing Performance:It has excellent sealing performance. Even under different pressures and temperatures, it can fit tightly with connection parts. This stops liquids and gases from leaking out effectively. Also, during long-term equipment operation and frequent use, its sealing performance won’t get much worse. This reliability meets the strict standards of IVD Seals for continuous testing scenarios.
4)Temperature Resistance:It can adapt to temperature changes when IVD equipment is working. Whether it’s in low-temperature storage or testing processes that need heating reactions, the seal can keep stable physical properties. It won’t get hard, soft, or brittle. This ability to handle temperature changes is as good as that of Freezer Tube Seals in extreme temperature environments.
5)Ease of Cleaning and Disinfection:Before and after each use of IVD equipment, the seal needs to be cleaned and disinfected. This stops residual samples from causing contamination. So the seal must be easy to clean. It also has to handle common disinfection methods—like wiping with alcohol and high-temperature and high-pressure sterilization. It won’t get damaged during the disinfection process. This feature matches the reusability requirements of Sterile Medical Seals in medical settings.
6)Precise Dimensions:It has precise size and shape. This lets it match exactly with the mounting parts of IVD equipment. This makes sure the seal is installed firmly. It also stops dimensional deviations from affecting the sealing effect and the equipment’s normal operation. This precise manufacturing matches the production standards of Reagent Container Lids and Medical Device Seals for IVD applications.
