General description
Poly(tetrafluoroethylene) is a fluoropolymer that is commercially known as PTFE. Its properties include high thermal stability, excellent chemical resistance, low dielectric constant and low surface energy. It is a hydrophobic polymer that is majorly used as a protective coating on the metal surface.
Application
Inert lubricant.
Suitability
Low coefficient of friction, low critical surface energy and excellent antistick properties.

Floating cancer cells can survive the programmed death anoikis process after detaching from the extracellular matrix for the anchorage-dependent cells. Purification of viable floating cancer cells is essential for many biomedical studies, such as drug screening and cancer model development.

Multicapillary column ion-mobility spectrometry (MCC-IMS) may identify volatile components in exhaled gas. The authors therefore used MCC-IMS to evaluate exhaled gas in a rat model of sepsis, inflammation, and hemorrhagic shock. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were anesthetized and ventilated via tracheostomy
