A new formulation of TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) tubing has been developed for fluid transfer in the biopharmaceutical industry: AdvantaFlex.

AdvantaFlex addresses the need for a flexible, translucent, sterilizable, moldable, heat sealable, and weldable biopharmaceutical tubing for fluid processing. AdvantaFlex maintains its physical properties following sterilization processes, resists kinking, remains translucent for visible product flow, and does not become gummy. Additionally, the unique properties of AdvantaFlex help it outperform similar tubing in peristaltic pumps.

Key Features

Excellent life in peristaltic pumps
Sterile weldable and heat sealable
Now available as leak - proof molded connections and tubing
Made from FDA-approved ingredients
Excellent low absorption and adsorption characteristics as compared to silicone
Meets various ISO and USP standards, including Class VI
Meets European Pharmacopoeia 3.2.2.1 standards
Low permeability as compared to silicone
Certified free of silicone oils and animal-derived ingredients
Smooth interior for excellent flow and performance
Sterilizable by gamma radiation or autoclave
Translucent for fluid flow visibility
Excellent tubing component for single-use systems
Sizes from 1/8" (0.125) through 1" (1.000) I.D.
Custom lengths, sizes, and packaging available
Sealed in polybags at manufacture for cleanliness
Documented quality control; lot traceable with identification on polybags
Single resin validation - no need to graft to other tubing materials like silicone for media filling and sampling applications that involves peristaltic pumps; helps eliminate operator errors
Chemical Characterization of Materials per ISO - "Extractables" test portfolio available
