Ultra-Low Temp Tubing for the Biopharma Industry

DuPont has launched DuPont Liveo Pharma TPE Ultra-Low Temp Tubing, a new thermoplastic elastomer tubing designed to withstand the low temperatures required for many of today's biopharmaceutical processing applications.

Sterilizable, weldable, sealable Liveo Pharma TPE Ultra-Low Temp Tubing is an ISO Class 7 cleanroom-manufactured tubing that offers improved elastomer toughness and ductility down to -86 °C; resistance to bend, crush and impact at -80 °C; good pumpability and low spallation; and excellent burst pressure resistance and chemical resistance. The phthalate-free tubing's purity and regulatory data include USP Class VI standards, extractables USP <665>, elemental impurities USP <232> and Biocompatibility ISO 10993 (part 5, 6, 11, 23), among others. A comprehensive data package is available to facilitate qualification and validation.

Liveo Pharma TPE Ultra-Low Temp Tubing is the second TPE tubing product launched by DuPont in recent years, joining Liveo Pharma TPE Tubing in the company's portfolio of solutions for biopharma processing applications – which also includes numerous silicone-based tubing and overmolded assembly (OMA) products.
