BMP and Our Industries Top 3 FAQ’s

About UsFor the past three decades, BMP has stayed on top of the research and medical diagnostic plastics game because we’ve always made an extra effort to listen to our clients’ needs. ItQuality Control also helps that we pride ourselves on staying up-to-date on every innovation and trend within our industry.

It is with this in mind that we thought it would be a great idea to highlight the top 3 FAQs within our unique industry.

Question 1: How do you manufacture your cleanroom molding?

A: For years, it was common practice to make the molding for cleanrooms under regular manufacturing conditions. However recently there has been a big push to create them under much more stringently controlled environments. Thanks to our new solid walled clean room with injection molding machines, that is what we do at BMP.

Question 2: How important is process monitoring?

A: The short answer? Very.

The longer answer is that we have found that many of today’s parts have extremely tight specifications, so there is a much larger need for process monitoring. State-of-the art sensors are at the heart of monitoring the molding process; they not only produce a better product but also create very low levels of rejects. BMP incorporates all the latest monitoring systems in our tool building.

Question 3: Scalability…do you have it?

A: No one plans a business to stay one size forever, so it is only natural that companies within our industry are always concerned about scalability. They might be only making a small amount of certain product now, but they want to know you have the ability to grow along with them with no downtime. BMP’s customers are covered thanks to our recently updated plant, which includes, two overhead cranes for our mold changes, and two new air-handling units that allow us better control of the overall environment.

We hope that we have shone a bright light not only on the biggest issues in our industry but on also how BMP is in a great position to turn questions into answers!

Plastic Products Catalog

BMP Medical is a quality manufacturer of plastic consumables and plastic products for research and medical diagnostic laboratories. Our products are manufactured to the highest quality standards. We offer a wide selection of products sold through the world’s premier laboratory distributors.

Non-Sterile and Sterile Centrifuge Bottles

  • Available with standard caps for low-speed work and sealing caps for high-speed applications
  • Caps have a built-in gripper to facilitate removal from the rotor
  • Extra thick walls for durability-resistant to most chemicals
  • Wide mouth design makes filling and decanting easier
These precision molded centrifuge bottles are available in polycarbonate or polypropylene. For low speed applications the bottles provide excellent value for large volume/large batch centrifugation procedures. For high-speed work, the easy-to-use Noryl® (Noryl® is a registered trademark of General Electric Company) sealing caps with silicone O-rings enable leak-free processing at high centrifugal forces over long durations. Bottles must be filled to 80% of capacity. Centrifuge bottles may be autoclaved at 121ºC at 15 psi for 20 minutes. Caps should be placed on the bottles without engaging the threads. Bottles are qualified to the rated g-forces using Sorvall® (Sorvall® is a registered trademark of Kendro Laboratory Products) and Fiberlite® (Fiberlite® is a registered trademark of Piramoon Technologies Inc.) high-speed rotors, tested at 20ºC, with bottles filled to 80% of capacity. Failure to use the correct rotor cushion or adapter will shorten the life of the bottle and may prevent achievement of the maximum rated RCF and/or bottle failure. Prolonged autoclaving and reuse may cause stress cracks, crazing or bottle discoloration.

Cytology Funnels Category

BMP Medical Cytology Funnels for the Shandon CytoSpin® Centrifuge BMP Medical Cytology Funnels are the functional equivalent of the Thermo Shandon CytoFunnel®. Fully compatible with the Shandon CytoSpin Centrifuge, BMP Medical Cytology Funnels can be used to deposit a thin layer of cells in a clearly defined area of a microscope slide. The filter card absorbs any excess fluid. Operation is identical to those supplied by Shandon and easy-to-follow instructions are included in each pack. All products sold in case quantities only.

Hemodrop Blood Dispenser

The Hemodrop is designed to reduce the risk of exposure to bloodborne pathogens in the Hematology laboratory. To prepare a manual differential smear, a drop of blood needs to be dispensed onto a glass slide from the specimen tube. Simply puncture the rubber stopper with the Hemodrop, and then invert and press gently onto the slide. A single drop of blood will be dispensed and the slide is ready. No more removing the stopper and manually putting a drop on the slide to test blood.

Specimen Collection

For specimen collection and transport, this system provides disposable products for the convenient collection, delivery, and testing of urine specimens. A plastic cup is provided for specimen collection and the pressure sensitive patient identification labels have ample writing space. The lightweight transport rack is small and easy to carry yet provides space for up to 20 tubes with labels and caps. The tubes are made of sturdy polystyrene and are safe for centrifuging. The flared top permits the use of a midget urinometer ensuring a tight cap fit.
