PTFX Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) tubing is an ideal choice for use with peristaltic pumps and cell cultures, offering less gas and vapour permeability compared to silicone rubber tubing. Formulated to cope with peristaltic pumping action while providing the bio-compatible fluid contact surface needed for sensitive media applications, it meets and exceeds FDA, USP Class VI, and European Pharmacopoeia 3.2.2.1 standards. The extended pump life characteristics of TPE tubing help minimise production downtime caused by pump tubing failure, and the tubing can be sterilised by autoclaving or gamma irradiation.
