AdvantaPure, Southampton, Pa, has released tubing kits custom made for use with benchtop bioreactors. Bioreactor tubing kits consist of single-use tubing, preassembled with filters and connectors, at tubing lengths specified by the customer for harvest, vent, sparge, and addition lines. Designed to decrease cross-contamination risks, the kits also aim to enable faster turnaround times and increased processing capacity. Users can select from a number of tubing materials, such as silicone or weldable and heat-sealable thermoplastic elastomers. The kits support cleanroom assembly, with connectors such as luer and push-to-connect styles, various size filters, and pinch clamps. Kits are provided with documented quality control with lot traceability and identification. Tubing is certified free of animal-derived components, and material validation and extractable test portfolios are available. For more information, visit AdvantaPure.
