TUBING
Cellgyn® TPE Tubing
Cellgyn® TPE tubing is designed specifically for the most demanding bio-pharmaceutical applications. It is ideal for use in single-use assemblies, aseptic-transfer lines, sampling devices, and other applications where aseptic tube welding/sealing is employed. It is compatible with all standard tube sealers and aseptic tube welders, such as Vante, Terumo, BioWelder, GE Sterile Tube Fuser, and many more. Cellgyn® is exceptionally clear and has superior gas barrier properties and pressure performance versus silicone tubing.
