Romeoville, IL—January 5, 2011 — Advanced Diamond Technologies (ADT) announces that its UNCD® brand of ultrananocrystalline diamond thin film material is USP Class VI compliant. Set by the United States Pharmacopeia, USP standards are internationally accepted as benchmarks for material compatibility in biomedical and pharmaceutical applications.
Customers considering UNCD for applications where USP Class VI compliance is required now can be comfortable knowing that UNCD is the right solution for them. Applications that require USP Class VI compliance include implantable devices, implements that come into contact with food products, pharmaceutical grade chemicals, and biotech products.
“We have previously demonstrated that our diamond can provide significant value to applications in these markets.
