Injection Blow Molding Biopharmaceutical Industry

Injection Blow Molding of Sterilized Polypropylene Centrifuge Bottles for the Biopharmaceutical Industry

BMP Medical (A Biomedical Polymers Company) used a Jomar 85S injection blow molding machine to produce these 500mL centrifuge bottles for use in a biopharmaceutical production application. We also supplied a closure with a platinum-cured O-ring to increase seal integrity. They are then repackaged and double bagged in a unit of measure of four or eight, sent out for sterilization, and then tested for particulate and endotoxin certifications. 

Our skilled and experienced employees manufactured the polypropylene part, which weighs approximately 55.5 grams, to +.005″/-.000″ tolerances.

We produced 65,000 parts, as per the blanket order, with quarterly releases. We then bagged and placed the parts in 16″ x 12″ x 19″ cartons for delivery to our biopharmaceutical industry client in Massachusetts.

    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.

    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.
