Single-Use Tubing

Single-use tubing is often made from flexible materials such as various types of elastomers (e.g., Silicone), TPE, TPC, and PVC (e.g., polyethylene, polyurethane). The choice of material depends on factors like chemical compatibility, flexibility, and regulatory requirements.

Since single-use tubing is used in sterile environments (such as in pharmaceutical manufacturing or bioprocessing), it needs to be sterilized before use. Common methods include gamma irradiation, ethylene oxide (EtO) gas sterilization, or autoclaving (for some types of tubing).

Eliminates the need for cleaning and sterilization between uses, reducing the risk of cross-contamination.

Simplifies workflow and setup, especially in batch processes where rapid changeover is required.

Eliminates costs associated with cleaning, validation, and maintenance of reusable tubing systems.

Single-use tubing is widely used in industries where cleanliness, sterility, and efficiency are critical for fluid path transfers. This includes biopharmaceutical manufacturing, cell and gene therapy, sterile fill-finish, food and beverage processing, and medical device manufacturing.

Tubing is made to be compatible with various connectors, pumps, and other equipment used in the specific application. Ensuring compatibility helps maintain system integrity and prevents leaks or failures.
