1️⃣ Material choice defines performance.
Fluoropolymers like PTFE, FEP, and PFA thrive in aggressive environments.
Selecting the wrong plastic for your chemical exposure profile can destroy not only accuracy but also your results.

3️⃣ Finish Drives Compliance & Sustainability
Polished surfaces help meet compliance standards, like USP Class VI and ISO 10993.
They also last longer, resist contamination, and reduce waste. This supports both regulatory and ESG goals.
