Bioscience research relies on precise, dependable equipment for handling samples, analysing biological processes and conducting controlled experiments. Components may encounter laboratory chemicals, moisture, elevated temperatures and repeated cleaning or sterilisation. Corrosion, material degradation or changes in component dimensions can affect equipment performance and experimental consistency.

Our PEEK and PEEK GF30 fasteners and components provide durable options for laboratory instruments, sample-handling assemblies and research equipment. PEEK combines mechanical strength, resistance to many chemicals and electrical insulation. Its resistance to hot water and steam makes it a candidate for components requiring repeated steam sterilisation, where the grade and operating conditions are suitable.

PEEK GF30 is reinforced with 30% glass fiber, offering increased stiffness and resistance to deformation under sustained loads. This helps brackets, spacers and fasteners maintain secure positioning in precision assemblies. For components in direct contact with biological samples, material selection should also consider cleanliness, extractables and compatibility with the specific research process.
