Single-use fluid-path components
Configurable tubing, connectors, flow-control components and accessories for closed transfer, processing, sampling and equipment integration.
Final material and component suitability must be confirmed for the fluid, operating conditions and approved assembly
Product overview
Tubing and accessory selection connects single-use containers, filters, process equipment and downstream operations. Each assembly should be defined around fluid compatibility, flow, pressure, pumping, connection and installation requirements.
Platinum-cured silicone supports flexible transfer and pump applications, while weldable thermoplastic elastomer supports compatible tube-welding and sealing workflows.
Material selection Silicone or weldable TPE
Connectors, reducers, branch fittings, clamps, valves, filters, plugs and protective components complete the assembly and define how it is installed, operated and disconnected.
Integration scope Connect, control and protect
Component selection and assembly design
Selection should consider fluid chemistry, temperature, flow, pressure, pump exposure, bend radius, welding or sealing strategy, sterilization and the mechanical loads applied during use.
End-user applications
Tubing and accessories support liquid movement, equipment connection, flow control and sample handling from preparation through final formulation and filling.
Filling, distribution and transfer lines for prepared process solutions.
Inoculation, feed, base, supplement, antifoam and other addition lines.
Sample lines, valves, luer interfaces and connections to compatible monitoring devices.
Tubing and accessories for compatible liquid filters, vent filters and capsule assemblies.
Pump-duty lines for mixing, recirculation, transfer and process-equipment operation.
Connections between single-use assemblies, stainless equipment and downstream unit operations.
Quotation preparation
Confirm the operating conditions, tubing geometry, mechanical duty, connections, accessories and preparation requirements before technical review.
Provide fluid composition, concentration, temperature, contact time and required flow or pressure conditions.
Define transfer, gravity drain, pumping, recirculation, welding, sealing or reinforced service.
State bore, wall, length, branch layout, bend constraints and identification requirements.
List end connections, reducers, branches, clamps, valves, filters, plugs and protective components.
Define assembly, irradiation, packaging, leak testing, documentation and labeling expectations.
Configuration matrix
Material compatibility and operating limits depend on the complete assembly and process conditions. Final component specifications must follow the approved bill of materials and qualification package.
| Configuration area | Available choices | Selection purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Tubing material | Platinum-cured silicone or weldable thermoplastic elastomer; other process-compatible options by approved configuration | Match chemical compatibility, flexibility, welding, sealing and pump requirements |
| Tubing geometry | Bore, wall thickness, cut length and reinforced construction configurable | Match flow, pressure, routing, bend and mechanical-duty requirements |
| End connections | Luer, tubing plug, quick coupling, sanitary clamp or aseptic connector | Integrate the fluid path with containers, equipment and downstream operations |
| Branches and adapters | Straight connectors, reducers, Y- or T-branches and barbed adapters | Divide, combine or transition between compatible tubing sizes and fluid paths |
| Flow control | Pinch clamps, line clamps, valves, check valves and plugs by approved assembly | Start, stop, isolate or direct fluid movement through the assembly |
| Sampling, vent and filtration | Needle-free valves, sampling plugs, luer interfaces, vent filters and capsule-filter connections | Add sampling, air management or filtration functions to the fluid path |
| Joining and disconnection | Aseptic connection, tube welding, sealing, crimping or compatible mechanical-disconnection strategy | Connect or separate fluid paths according to the required process boundary |
| Packaging and preparation | Loose components or preassembled sets; single or double protective packaging; gamma-irradiated and leak-tested options | Align supply format with installation, handling and quality requirements |
Confirm the fluid, operating conditions, tubing duty, dimensions, routing, end connections, accessories, joining method, irradiation and packaging requirements before technical review.
