Materials may be used above Heat Deflection Temperatures in non-stress applications; see Max. Use based on five minute tests using 600 watts of power on exposed, empty labware. CAUTION: Do not exceed Max. Use Temp., or expose labware to chemicals which heating cause to attack the plastic or be rapidly plastic will absorb and retain significant amounts of heat resulting in an unexpectedly hot :Autoclaving (121 C, 15 psig for 20 minutes) Clean and rinse items with distilled before autoclaving.

7 (Always completely disengage thread before autoclaving.) Certain chemicals which have no appreciable effect on resins at room temperature may cause deterioration at autoclaving temperatures unless removed with distilled water before Gas Ethylene Oxide: 100% EtO, EtO:Nitrogen mixture, EtO:HCFC mixtureDry Heat exposure to 160 C for 120 minutes without stress/load on the polymer partsDisinfectants Benzalkonium chloride, formalin/formaldehyde, hydrogen peroxide, ethanol, gamma or beta irradiation at 25 kGy ( MRad) with unstabilized reduces mechanical strength. Do not use PC vessels for vacuum applications if they have been autoclaved. Refer to Use and Care Guidelines for Nalgene Labware, for detailed information on Yes indicates the resin has been determined to be non-cytotoxic, based on USP and ASTM biocompatibility testing standards utilizing an MEM elution technique with WI38 human diploid lung cell meet requirements of CFR21 section of Food Additives Amendment of the Federal Food and Drug Act.
