If your medical device uses silicone, shouldn’t your biofilm testing platform use silicone too?
Silicone is found throughout healthcare and medical technology, from catheters and implants to contact lenses and drug delivery systems. Yet biofilm studies are often performed on surfaces that do not reflect real-world device materials.
The new silicone-coated MBEC Assay® pegs help bridge that gap by providing 96 silicone testing surfaces in a single assay, allowing researchers to evaluate biofilm formation and antimicrobial strategies on a substrate that closely matches their application.
Applications where silicone-associated biofilms matter include:
✅ Catheters
✅ Voice prostheses
✅ Contact lenses
✅ Breast implants
✅ Cochlear implants and pacemakers
✅ Drug delivery devices
