The tubing assemblies, which consist of molded manifolds and accessories such as filters and connectors, are sterilized using gamma irradiation and manufactured from platinum-cured silicone or AdvantaFlex biopharmaceutical grade TPE.
AdvantaPure product management director John Stover said pharma and biotech manufacturers want to receive a validated sterile part that is ready to install.
"They don’t want to go through the time-consuming process of receiving in a part, sending it out for gamma irradiation, and waiting for its return," Stover added.
"They also don’t want to maintain two inventories – irradiated and non-irradiated.
"Customers need to be able to open a package, attach a part, and go."
