Garden Grove, California – Saint-Gobain Seals products highlight the company’s design engineering capabilities and critical sealing solutions for life sciences.
Among analytical instrumentation equipment particularly relating to High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and Ultra High Performance Liquid Chromatography (UHPLC) systems, Saint-Gobain Seals’ OmniSeal brand of spring-energized seals is well recognized for its high quality and long lasting performance due to the materials developed for the application, starting with Fluoroloy A09 to the most recent Fluoroloy A92 material. Their engineers’ many years of experience working with these systems have created seal designs that meet the very demanding requirements of this market, especially low leakage and enhanced lifetime.Similar added value for the OmniSeal product is found within the in-vitro diagnostics, immunochemistry and hematology sectors, prominently used in syringe applications where the seals provide excellent wear resistance and grant long lifetime and wide chemical compatibility, from buffer solutions to salt water and blood.
OmniSeal parts have also been used for several decades in healthcare and medical devices together with the Rulon product, Saint-Gobain Seals’ dedicated line for fluoropolymer components. With the lowest friction coefficient and a long history of reliability and high quality standards, the Rulon® material is very well suited as a cup seal for portable oxygen concentrators and similar applications in the home healthcare segment.
