AdvantaPure launches AdvantaFlex tubing

AdvantaPure launches AdvantaFlex, a tubing designed specifically for high purity fluid transfer. AdvantaFlex is manufactured from a biopharmaceutical-grade TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) for the pharmaceutical, biotech, medical and critical processing industries.

AdvantaFlex addresses the need for a flexible, weldable and heat-sealable tubing for fluid processing. Its unique properties help it perform better than other tubing in high purity fluid lines and peristaltic pumps. AdvantaFlex is formulated for low permeability and to withstand repeated compression and release for consistent, dependable performance.

The smooth, flexible tubing may be welded directly to biobags and other components for secure connections without the entrapment issues of fittings and clamps. AdvantaFlex is also heat sealable for uses where sampling is required.

AdvantaFlex complies with USP, ISO, EP and FDA standards and is free of animal-derived ingredients. Applications include sterile filling, vaccine production, pharmaceutical sampling and delivery systems, peristaltic pump transfer systems, bioreactor processes, cell media and harvesting, pharmaceutical production and processing, high purity water transfer and filtration.

AdvantaFlex is translucent for visual contact with the flow and may be sterilized by autoclave or gamma radiation. Sizes range from 1/8-inch through 3/4-inch I.D. The tubing is documented lot traceable, offers documented quality control and is available with validation and extractables test portfolios.
