From blood analysis to the transportation of organs for donation

ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene) resin is used for the housing of a state-of-the-art blood analyser because of its proven performance in applications that require strength, durability and a high-gloss surface to help ensure cleanliness in hospital settings. The hand-held system provides clinicians with a portable, nearly instantaneous analyser that requires just two drops of whole blood to provide a wide range of tests needed in medical diagnoses.

Styrene-based boxes also help to save lives by protecting organs while they are being transported for donation.

In myriad other medical applications, styrenic plastic tools provide chemical resistance, transparency and toughness to promote safety and protect against contamination and patient infection in the laboratory and day-to-day use.
