USP VI refers to a standard for plastics outlined in the General Chapter of the United States Pharmacopeia. This standard requires products that wish to carry the USP VI standard (generally plastics that will be used within a medical device) to carry out 3 tests ‘in vivo’ to test for their biological reactivity.
Sometimes USP VI is required of gasket materials. In these circumstances, Hanningfield is able to offer USP VI gaskets on vacuum transfer systems, conical mills and similar equipment.
