Enhance fluid transfer with single-use tubing

Thermo Scientific single-use products aim to reduce the risk of batch, reagent, and time loss with high quality tubing. Silicone is recommended for bioprocessing applications, available in a wide variety of diameters and integrated into fluid transfer assemblies to support different applications and production scales. Interconnectable tubing is produced under CGMP conditions in ISO 7 clean areas to enable a high level of quality. Tubing products are characterized using ISO, USP, EP, and ASTM test methods to validate performance and provide reliable and consistent performance.

 

To support aseptic fluid transfer, tubing can be sterilized by most methods including autoclave, gamma irradiation, and ethanol. We also offer a secure supply chain with tubing manufactured within several global sites and the ability to support lean manufacturing freeing valuable clean room and storage space.


Tubing and assemblies across workflows

Tubing and assemblies are used at many steps in the bioprocessing workflow to preserve closed, sterile systems. These include media and buffer preparation and transfer, sample loading, media changes, harvesting, and sample purification. Featuring a low-binding surface and free of phthalate plasticizer and peroxide, the tubing’s potential for leachables, extractables, or many chemical interaction with the processed fluid can be highly reduced to help protect your sample. As your process scales, larger diameter tubing with the same composition and specifications is available. To help prevent leaks, our tubing assemblies are secured with the Thermo Scientific BioRetention Device which forms an even compression 360-degree seal. 

Nalgene assembly solutions for streamlined workflows

Nalgene assembly solutions can streamline workflows with high-quality tubing assemblies, connectors, and fittings. Designed for efficient fluid transfer, these components enable reliable performance and compatibility across various applications, for enhanced productivity and reduce downtime.
 

Nalgene Silicone (Si) Tubing for fluid transfer

Recommended Nalgene tubing for bioprocessing applications. High-purity, low binding tubing designed for pump and transfer applications including pharmaceutical, laboratory and bioprocess manufacturing. Nalgene Si tubing is flexible, shore 50-65(A), compatible with barbed fittings, translucent with no odor or taste, no plasticizer, and is autoclavable. 


Benefits of single-use tubing and assemblies

Single-use tubing and assemblies are efficient and designed to reduce contamination risk.
 

Our systems can:

  • Simplify process setup and changeover: Quick and easy installation can reduce downtime
  • Reduce contamination risk: Single-use design can reduce cross-contamination
  • Decrease cleaning needs: Reduces the need for cleaning and sterilization between uses
  • Scale easily across manufacturing stages: Flexible and adaptable for various production scales
  • Support CGMP-ready documentation: Supports compliance with regulatory standards
  • Enable reliable supply: Supports consistent quality and availability for operational efficiency

Global standard component library

Our global standard component library (GSCL) contains a variety of stocked components from which custom single-use fluid transfer assemblies and bags can be assembled with shorter lead times and exceptional quality. Within our GSCL we offer several types of tubing for bioprocessing including PC silicon, braided silicone tubing, thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), and pump tubing.
