Tubing - peristaltic

Bioprene - Thermoplastic tubing

Overview

Bioprene: thermoplastic tubing ideal for critical processes requiring accurate, reliable and repeatable performance

Bioprene® peristaltic pump tubing is USP Class VI and FDA compliant and suitable for biopharmaceutical and food applications.

Bioprene's exceptionally long peristaltic life ensures process security, thereby reducing risk in critical cGMP applications. Bioprene is a thermoplastic elastomer tube which is produced from synthetic components. No natural rubber (such as latex) is used in the production of Bioprene tubing. The raw material has been fully tested to USP Class VI and conforms to NSF51.

Bioprene is widely applicable in biopharmaceutical manufacturing operations such as metering, transfer and filtration, along with a variety of applications within the food and beverage industry.

Operating pressures of 0 to 2 bar can be achieved with Bioprene continuous tubing. A range of LoadSure® tube elements increase the pressure capability up to a maximum of 7 bar.
