Single-Use Tubing Assemblies

For Pharmaceutical & Biopharm Processing Applications

Eliminate production stoppages for sterilization, reduce the risk of contamination, and increase efficiency by incorporating Single-Use Molded Manifold Tubing Assemblies from AdvantaPure. Single Use Assemblies simplify cleaning validations—use once and discard.

Each system is custom made using AdvantaSil® platinum-cured, Class VI silicone tubing or reinforced hose or AdvantaFlex® Class VI biopharmaceutical grade tubing to meet sealing and welding application requirements. Add fittings, stoppers and container closures, filters, sensors, bottles, labels, tracking options and now GORE® STA-PURE® Pump Tubing as the pump element.
Single use systems are not intended for implantation or continuous steam applications.

AdvantaSil® Silicone Tubing and Hose

Platinum-cured silicone tubing (called APST), high pressure tubing (APHP), and braid-reinforced hose (APSH) are cleanroom manufactured by AdvantaPure for pharmaceutical and biopharm applications.

All three styles have undergone extensive physical, chemical, and biological testing and meet USP Class VI, FDA CFR 177.2600, ISO 10993, and European Pharmacopoeia 3.1.9 standards. Certified free of animal-derived ingredients.

APST size range: .030″ through 1″ I.D. (.76mm through 25.40mm I.D.)
APHP size range: .125” through 1” I.D. (3.18mm through 25.40mm I.D.)
APSH size range: .063″ through 1″ I.D. (1.59mm through 25.40mm I.D.)

AdvantaFlex® BioPharmaceutical Grade Tubing

AdvantaFlex addresses the need for a flexible, translucent, sterilizable, heat sealable, weldable and moldable biopharmaceutical tubing without silicone oils. AdvantaFlex maintains its physical properties following sterilization processes and remains translucent for visible product flow.

AdvantaFlex is ideal for aseptic tubing welds and helps eliminate aseptic connectors and multiple contact surfaces. The tubing is made from FDA-approved ingredients and meets various ISO and USP standards, including Class VI, as well as European Pharmacopoeia 3.2.9 standards. Certified free of animal-derived ingredients.

Size range: 1/8″ to 1″ I.D. (3.18mm to 25.40mm I.D.)

GORE STA-PURE Pump Tubing

AdvantaPure is pleased to offer GORE STA-PURE Pump Tubing for your Single-Use Process biotech and pharmaceutical applications.

As experts in molded connections, AdvantaPure can now overmold GORE STA-PURE Pump Tubing into any manifold tubing assembly as its pump element. Overmolding reduces the risk of failure at the connection, decreases the chance of contamination, and helps prevent lost batches of costly pharmaceutical and biopharm product. Alternatively, connections may be made using barbed fittings and clamps.

NOTE: Assemblies that include GORE STA-PURE Pump Tubing cannot be gamma irradiated or be included in AdvantaPure’s validated sterility assurance program.

Size range: 1/16″ to 1″ I.D. (1.6mm to 25.40mm I.D.)

Molded Manifolds

Single-use Molded Manifolds provide a seamless transition between tubing and connections for a smooth, fluid contact surface with optimal flow. Molded connections include Y, T, cross, reducer, Tri-Clamp® and mini Tri-Clamp styles.

Made from AdvantaSil® silicone or AdvantaFlex® TPE, they allow for one contact material throughout the system. Additionally, GORE STA-PURE Pump Tubing can be integrated into silicone manifold assemblies as the pump element, providing longer production cycles. Connection sizes vary depending on style.

Size range: 1/8″ to 1″ I.D. (3.18mm to 25.40mm I.D.)

Tubing Sets

If you’re not sure molded manifolds are right for your application, let us manufacture your tubing sets (line sets). Assembled in ISO Class 7 clean rooms, they’re fabricated from tubing, fittings, clamps or cable ties, and accessories you specify.

Sizes to 1″ I.D.

Filling Assemblies

Sterile molded filling assemblies from AdvantaPure continue the shift to Single-Use processes that save time and reduce the risk of cross contamination while increasing productivity between batches. Manufactured with a focus on quality, the assemblies can be quickly installed and operational in a fraction of time as compared to traditional systems used in pharmaceutical and biotech filling.

The multi-port Tri-Clamp® design reduces potential leak points, minimizes holdup volume and provides seamless flow.
