Press Release Summary: AdvantaPure's platinum-cured silicone pump tubing, called
APSPG, now carries Class VI approval to assure users of the product's purity in
critical applications such as those in the pharmaceutical and biomedical fields.
APSPG is designed and manufactured to far outlast standard silicone tubing in
peristaltic pump applications. The tubing withstands repeated compression and
release, resulting in steady fluid flow rates. Sizes from .031" through .500" I.D.
are stocked for immediate or JIT shipment.

Press Release Body: Now available from AdvantaPure(R) is pump grade, platinum-cured
silicone tubing that's USP Class VI approved. Designated APSPG, the tubing itself
carries the approval, not only the material from which it is produced. APSPG is
manufactured specifically for peristaltic pumps and far outlasts standard silicone
tubing.

The USP (United States Pharmacopoeia) Class VI approval of APSPG assures users of
the tubing's purity in critical applications such as pharmaceutical and biomedical.
It is an extremely flexible product specially formulated to withstand repeated
compression and release for consistent, dependable performance. APSPG has excellent
rebound and snaps back into its original form during pump use. The result is steady
fluid flow rates because of the tubing's unchanging interior shape.

Other advantages of APSPG peristaltic pump tubing include:

. Smooth surfaces that resist bacteria build-up
. Low volatile grade, platinum-cured silicone meets FDA 21 CFR 177.2600
. Wide operating temperature range of -100°F (-73.3°C) to 400°F (204.4°C)
. No taste or odor transfer to fluids
. Translucency for visual contact with the flow
. Sterilizable/autoclavable

APSPG is manufactured in-house in a certified, HEPA-filtered clean room. Tubing is
sealed in polybags at manufacture for cleanliness and stored in a
particulate-controlled warehouse to maintain that cleanliness. All APSPG is
documented lot traceable with identification on bags and boxes. Ten sizes from .031"
through .500" I.D. are stocked in convenient 25- and 50-foot coils (depending on
I.D. size), and custom sizes, lengths, and packaging are available.
