The starting point of all high-quality products is high-quality raw materials. The production of gamma sterilized pipettes is no exception. From the initial raw material procurement stage, strict quality control standards are followed. The materials used to manufacture pipettes, whether they are high-strength, wear-resistant special engineering plastics such as PEEK (polyetheretherketone) or corrosion-resistant and high-temperature resistant stainless steel, must be strictly screened and tested. These tests include but are not limited to the mechanical properties, chemical stability, biocompatibility and thermal stability of the materials, ensuring that the selected materials can meet the performance requirements of the pipettes in long-term use.
The selection of raw material suppliers is also crucial. Gamma sterilized pipette manufacturers will establish long-term cooperative relationships with certified and reputable suppliers to ensure a stable supply of raw materials and reliable quality. In addition, each batch of raw materials will be sampled and tested before entering the production line to verify whether it meets the established quality standards. This series of measures has laid a solid foundation for the excellent quality of gamma sterilized pipettes.
After strict screening, the raw materials enter the production and processing stage. The production and processing of gamma sterilized pipettes also follows a strict quality control process. From cutting, forming, assembly to debugging, each process must be carefully designed and strictly monitored.
In the cutting and forming stages, advanced CNC processing equipment ensures the accuracy and consistency of the parts. These devices can accurately cut and form parts of various shapes and sizes through high-precision programming and control to meet the needs of complex pipette structures. At the same time, in order to avoid the accumulation of errors during the processing process, strict inspection and measurement will be carried out after each process is completed to ensure that the size, shape and surface quality of the parts meet the design requirements.
The assembly stage is to accurately combine the various components to form a complete pipette. This process also requires a high degree of accuracy and stability. The manufacturer of gamma sterilized pipettes uses advanced automated assembly lines, which ensure the stability and sealing of the internal structure of the pipette through precise positioning and fastening technology. In addition, during the assembly process, multiple tests and debugging will be carried out to ensure that all performance indicators of the pipette are in the best state.
After the production and processing is completed, the gamma sterilized pipette enters the finished product inspection stage. This stage is a key link in the quality control system. Through comprehensive and meticulous testing, it is verified whether the performance indicators of the pipette meet the highest standards.
The sealing test is an important part of the finished product inspection. Gamma sterilized pipettes need to have good sealing performance to prevent liquid leakage and contamination. Therefore, in the finished product inspection, the sealing parts of the pipette will be strictly tested, including the seal between the piston rod and the cylinder, the seal between the nozzle and the pipette body, etc. These tests are usually carried out by applying a certain pressure or vacuum to observe whether there is liquid leakage.
The aspiration and discharge test is a key indicator to verify the accuracy and stability of the pipette. In the test, standard liquid samples and precise measuring equipment are used to measure the aspiration and discharge of the pipette multiple times, and calculate their average and deviation. These test results will directly reflect the accuracy and stability level of the pipette, and are also an important basis for evaluating its quality.
In addition to the sealing, aspiration and discharge tests, the finished product inspection of gamma sterilized pipettes also includes appearance inspection, functional testing, durability testing and other aspects. The appearance inspection mainly checks the appearance quality of the pipette, including surface finish, color consistency, and label clarity; the functional test verifies whether the various functions of the pipette are working properly, such as aspiration, discharge, and range adjustment; the durability test evaluates the durability and stability of the pipette by simulating operations under long-term use conditions.
After the finished product inspection is completed, the gamma-sterilized pipette also needs to be sterilized by gamma rays to ensure its sterility during use. Gamma rays have strong penetrating power and bactericidal ability, and can kill microorganisms inside and outside the pipette, including bacteria, viruses, and spores. This step is particularly important for experiments that need to be performed under sterile conditions, which can greatly reduce the risk of contamination during the experiment and ensure the accuracy and reliability of the experimental results.
