Your customized single-use tube set is backed by:
- Gamma irradiation validation: Tube sets are available gamma irradiated between 25–40 kGy as complete assemblies for applications requiring sterility assurance.
- ISO Class 7 clean room assembly: We assemble custom tube sets in an ISO Class 7 cleanroom under an ISO 9001:2015-certified quality management process.
- USP Class VI testing: For custom solutions, we use USP Class VI tested tubing, connectors, fittings and filter housings, giving your quality team documented biocompatibility assurance for each component in the assembly.
- Full traceability for integrated components: Each customized assembly can be tracked from individual component sourcing through final build, giving you lot-level traceability across every element of the fluid path for audit and deviation support.
- Certificates of Analysis provided for each lot: We provide lot-specific CoA documentation, providing your quality team with compliance verification for custom assemblies.
- Extractables and leachables (E&L) data: E&L data is available for the contact material in the assembly, consolidating the documentation your regulatory team needs for submission packages and change control into a single reference.
Benefits of Single-Use Tube Sets
Single-use tube sets offer several benefits, including:
- Decreased risk of cross-contamination: Tube sets replace manual handling steps, supporting a cleaner, more controlled process environment.
- Simplified implementation: Preassembled tube sets reduce setup time, allowing your team to respond to changing process demands.
- Increased cost-effective development and design: Ready-to-use assemblies reduce the per-unit cost of process development compared to sourcing and assembling individual components in-house, lowering material and overhead expenses.
Typical Applications for Single-Use Tube Sets
Disposable tubing systems are built to perform across the most demanding stages of biopharmaceutical manufacturing. Common applications include:
- Cell culture: Support cell culture operations, from media preparation and nutrient delivery to waste removal and sampling.
- High-density cell banking: Meet the stringent sterility, traceability and documentation requirements of master and working cell bank operations.
- Upstream and downstream bioprocessing: Bridge workflows with bioprocessing tube sets that connect media preparation, bioreactor operations, purification, filtration and formulation steps within a single, traceable fluid path.
- Secure fluid transfer: Maintain sterility and product integrity when moving process fluids between vessels, tanks and equipment.
- Aseptic filling and sampling: Enable in-process sampling and sterile filling while maintaining the integrity of the process stream.
- Jumpers between noncompatible parts: Resolve connection mismatches between equipment from different manufacturers or with differing fitting standards.
- Bioreactor filtration and support: Simplify bioreactor setup and reduce misconnection risk with preconfigured tube sets designed for your specific filter housings, sparger lines, harvest connections and sampling ports.
- Sterile processing and storage: Preserve product sterility throughout extended hold times and storage periods.
Selecting the Right Tube Set
Key factors to consider when buying a single-use tube set for your application include:
- Fluid compatibility: Identify the tubing material best suited to your process fluid, temperature range and pressure requirements to verify chemical compatibility and product integrity throughout the fluid path.
- Connection and fitting requirements: Determine the connector types, fitting sizes and aseptic connection standards your process requires so the assembly integrates seamlessly with your existing equipment.
- Flow rate and volume: Match tubing inner diameter and assembly configuration to your target flow rate and batch volume to avoid restrictions or holdup losses in your fluid path.
