The Class VI syringe barrels feature ZeroDraft™ walls with consistent internal diameters that maintain an airtight seal with Class VI pistons to provide accurate, repeatable fluid deposits used in bonding, coating, and other medical assembly processes.
These components also pass the same rigorous quality standards Nordson EFD maintains to ensure a consistent product that provides consistent performance.
Ethylene oxide (ETO), autoclave, and gamma sterilization methods were tested to determine the impact on Optimum Class VI dispensing components. Those results can be found in the product data sheet , though Nordson EFD states that all customers must to do their own testing to validate their processes.
