BMP Medical Cytology Funnels for the Shandon CytoSpin® Centrifuge BMP Medical Cytology Funnels are the functional equivalent of the Thermo Shandon CytoFunnel®. Fully compatible with the Shandon CytoSpin Centrifuge, BMP Medical Cytology Funnels can be used to deposit a thin layer of cells in a clearly defined area of a microscope slide. The filter card absorbs any excess fluid. Operation is identical to those supplied by Shandon and easy-to-follow instructions are included in each pack. All products sold in case quantities only.

All plastic products are made by filling a mould that is in the shape of what you want to make. Some processes like injection moulding use high pressure to force melted plastic into place. Here at Rotational Plastics, we use, you guessed it, a process called rotational plastic moulding, also known as rotomoulding.

Generally, the design, testing and mould tooling is almost all the cost involved in setting up a custom plastic mould. When it comes to producing your plastic product, the cost pales in comparison.

Because tooling can account for upwards of 70% of the initial start-up cost when creating a new custom plastic mould an expensive mould could make or break your dream. Rotational Plastics steel miller can create cheap moulds from steel but can offer aluminium moulds when required.

BMP Medical is a quality manufacturer of plastic consumables and plastic products for research and medical diagnostic laboratories. Our products are manufactured to the highest quality standards. We offer a wide selection of products sold through the world’s premier laboratory distributors.

BMP Medical, a manufacturer of diagnostic products, has a full line of urinalysis disposables. We offer the components separately, or in various kit sizes and configurations. The line is built around our 10-chambered Decislide which is made out of optically clear acrylic. It can take 10 individual samples on the same slide eliminating the need for a new slide for each sample.

The Hemodrop is designed to reduce the risk of exposure to bloodborne pathogens in the Hematology laboratory. To prepare a manual differential smear, a drop of blood needs to be dispensed onto a glass slide from the specimen tube. Simply puncture the rubber stopper with the Hemodrop, and then invert and press gently onto the slide. A single drop of blood will be dispensed and the slide is ready. No more removing the stopper and manually putting a drop on the slide to test blood.

Our BMP team and OEMs collaborate to develop a mutual understanding of several factors that drive the material selection and the actual injection molding process for each manufactured medical device and/or component.

We offer two lines of tissue grinders for the clinical lab and research lab. The standard product is all plastic and is designed to grind softer tissues such as liver and spleen. The Ultra tissue grinder line has a vitrified tip and is designed for tougher material such as muscle or bone. Both lines are delivered sterile sealed Tyvek® (Tyvek® is a registered trademark of DuPont) package.

Centrifuge bottles may be autoclaved at 121ºC at 15 psi for 20 minutes. Caps should be placed on the bottles without engaging the threads. Bottles are qualified to the rated g-forces using Sorvall® (Sorvall® is a registered trademark of Kendro Laboratory Products) and Fiberlite® (Fiberlite® is a registered trademark of Piramoon Technologies Inc.) high-speed rotors, tested at 20ºC, with bottles filled to 80% of capacity.

Custom plastic moulding could make your innovative idea for a product a reality. Often people think producing a product out of plastic is farfetched, and that a large factory overseas is needed. This is not the case, as custom rotational plastic moulding can make it straightforward and cost-effective at any production scale.

BMP works with you closely, from prototypes through full-scale production. Working with an experienced full-time injection molding manufacturing partner will give you greater control over the design, from manufacturing through process development. You can also count on high-quality parts for finished medical devices for optimal performance—and you benefit from a lower total manufacturing cost. Getting BMP involved in the development cycle early is crucial in establishing the needed design requirements to help reduce lead time and overall costs.

These precision molded centrifuge bottles are available in polycarbonate or polypropylene. For low speed applications the bottles provide excellent value for large volume/large batch centrifugation procedures. For high-speed work, the easy-to-use Noryl® (Noryl® is a registered trademark of General Electric Company) sealing caps with silicone O-rings enable leak-free processing at high centrifugal forces over long durations. Bottles must be filled to 80% of capacity.

Polypropylene Beakers are resistant to most commonly used laboratory reagents, including a variety of strong acids, bases, and organic solvents, these high quality polypropylene beakers are the premier choice for scientific laboratory applications. All beakers are transparent for clear content visibility and graduated for easily estimating volumes. Molded-in pouring spouts, and a rolled lip, for a dripless working environment. Autoclavable to 121ºC ( 248ºF).

Our BMP plastic injection molding capabilities include injection molding, injection blow, 2-shot (two-shot molding), and insert molding (overmolding).

Realizing your idea may come with some hurdles, but more than likely our team has encountered them all. Engineering a product to be suited to rotational plastic moulding is an art form. Requiring intricate knowledge of what is and is not possible. Due to the nature of rotational plastic moulding, certain designs may be impossible to produce. The team at Rotational plastics will help you through the design process to ensure these are avoided early in development.

Failure to use the correct rotor cushion or adapter will shorten the life of the bottle and may prevent achievement of the maximum rated RCF and/or bottle failure.

If you have an idea for a product but do not know how to convert that to a design for a custom plastic mould, the team the rotational plastics is happy to use their industry expertise to assist you and ensure your vision comes true.

Rotational moulding is a low-pressure process which means unlike other processes, weaker and cheaper materials, like aluminium can be used to create custom plastic moulds. Since the moulds are not under pressure, they do not require the same tolerances.

The cost of a custom rotational mould is not as straightforward as one might think. Depending on size, the complexity of design, to the material used for the mould, the price can range from as low as $3,000 to $30,000. Because design and tooling are where the money is invested, having a team as talented and professional as the one here at Rotational Plastic is key. If you have an idea for a custom plastic mould, give us a call at 0800 768 284 or contact us here. The Rotational Plastics team have developed a process to lead you to your goal and is eager to help your project succeed.

When looking to create a plastic product one of the first things considered is the custom plastic moulding cost. Different plastic moulding solutions offer unique advantages and savings. Rotational moulding offers various advantages both in design, production, and cost when creating a custom plastic mould.

For more than 40 years, we have partnered with leading medical device OEMs to create custom plastic injection molding solutions in both finished medical devices and components. During our discovery process, we review and discuss certain criteria that will lead to the success of your finished injection molded part or packaged finished medical device.
