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 bio- pharmaceutical 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.

Gamma Irradiation Services
Have your single use system gamma irradiated before it arrives at your location and save the additional inventorying, transportation costs, and transit time.
Bagged and labeled products are picked up from AdvantaPure’s facility and conveyed to a local gamma irradiation service provider. Using Cobalt 60 radiation, microorganisms and bacteria are destroyed while your single use system remains in its original packaging. Products are then returned to AdvantaPure for final inspection and shipment to your location.
