Single-use tubes At Alflow, we sell a wide range of single-use tubes for the pharmaceutical industry - including weldable TPE tubes and platinum-cured silicone tubes. See the selection of tubes from leading manufacturers on this site, and transport the particular liquids in the best way. What are single-use tubes? Single-use tubes are suitable for transferring products in the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries, where purity and sterility are of utmost importance. The range of tubes includes: • Biopharmaceutical TPE tubes - weldable • Platinum-cured silicone tubes - standard and reinforced • Platinum-cured silicone tubes for ultra-low temperatures • Platinum-cured high-pressure silicone tubes Our single-use tubes are made of TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) or platinum-cured silicone. The TPE tubes are flexible, transparent, sterilisable and mouldable biopharmaceutical tubes for liquid treatment. That is, they retain their physical properties after sterilisation processes, remain transparent for visible product flow, and do not become rubbery. Find the right single-use tube for your application We have a wide range of tubes such as high-pressure silicone tubes, silicone tubes for ultra-low temperatures, peristaltic silicone tubes for pump applications and biopharmaceutical TPE tubes. The tubes can be used in a wide range of applications in the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industry, including: • TFF • Virus filtration • Inline integrity testing of filtering devices • Large-volume liquid transfer • Bulk storage • Transport of pharmaceuticals • Sterile filling • Vaccine production • Pharmaceutical sampling and delivery systems • Bioreactor processes • Cell media, harvesting and fermentation • Pharmaceutical production and processing • High-purity water transfer Our high-pressure silicone tubes are a cost-effective, high-quality solution designed for increased flow rates to reduce processing time. They are the optimal choice for single-use applications such as TFF, virus filtration, inline integrity testing of filtering devices and high-volume liquid transfer. Our Ultra-Low-Temperature silicone tube is designed for applications where the tube material is exposed to extremely low temperatures. The tube remains flexible and crush-resistant all the way down to -112°C without cracks or loss of integrity. It is the first tube of its kind and the optimal choice for applications related to bulk storage and transport of pharmaceuticals. Our platinum-cured, peristaltic silicone tube for pump applications is ideal for use in pharmaceutical, biotechnological and laboratory environments. It is specially formulated to withstand repeated compression and release for consistent, reliable performance - much longer than standard silicone tubes. Our TPE tubes are ideal in single-use systems and can be used to build a complete single-use system along with our single-use fittings, single-use bags and other single-use components. The moulded connections in the single-use systems provide a smooth inner surface for even, unlimited flow.
The sterile, moulded single-use systems save time and reduce the risk of cross-contamination while increasing batch productivity. The systems are manufactured with a focus on quality, and they can be quickly installed and operational in a fraction of the time required to install traditional stainless steel systems used for pharmaceutical and biotechnological filling. They can also be sealed and welded with our tube sealers and welders for tight and sterile sealing. Due to their ability to be sealed and welded, the TPE tubes are ideal for filling and sampling.
