• Very high level of TiO2 to prevent “cross-talk” between the wells
during the qPCR fluorescence testing procedure
• Minimized background phosphorescence caused by
agglomeration of TiO2 and/or oxidized (stressed) polystyrene
• Preservation of polystyrene grade properties
• Change control of formulation and manufacturing process
• Robust product quality from batch to batch
• Developed optimally dispersed, ready-to-use
white formulation that maintains adequate signal
transmission, as well as minimizing “cross-talk”
and background phosphorescence
• Optimized the use of general purpose polystyrene
(GPPS) for a good balance between melt flow
and other physical properties, such as stiffness
• Provided comprehensive change control of raw
materials and formulation, with a robust
manufacturing process and quality control under
a third party ISO 13485:2016 certified QMS

Another color-related challenge is the multitude of different color streams of
recycled PET, which can limit the uses for recycled colored PET.
This predictive technology maximizes
the use of different color streams and reduces waste.
Manufacturers using rPET require different properties based on their specific
application, such as certain colors, stiffness and strength.

Gates
• Many different types of gates can be used such as pin, fan, tunnel, tab and edge gates.
Cut vent depths to:
- PPA Compounds: 0.0015"–0.0025" depth and 0.250" width
- PC Compounds: 0.002"–0.004" depth and 0.250" width
- PSU Compounds: 0.003"–0.004" depth and 0.250" width
- PES Compounds: 0.003"–0.004" depth and 0.250" width
- PPS Compounds: 0.002"–0.003" depth and 0.250" width
- Acetal Compounds: 0.0015" minimum depth and 0.250" width
- PEEK Compounds: 0.002"–0.004" depth and 0.250" width
- Nylon Compounds: 0.002" minimum depth and 0.250" width
• Increase vent depth to 0.060" (1.5mm) at 0.250" (4.0mm) away from the cavity
and vent to atmosphere.
