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.
