Tuflux® Tubing
Tuflux® Tubing – Benefit From the Best of Two Worlds
Liquid Transfer is an essential part of bio-manufacturing processes. For every transfer between different single-use, multi-use or hybrid systems, you will get the right solution for your biopharmaceutical process. With Tuflux® Tubing, you benefit from the purest Silicone and TPE tubing for the transfer of your critical fluids. Both tubing types have excellent extractable/leachable profiles and guarantee the highest cleanliness and safety across all process steps.
A Broad Range of Tubing Standards
Tuflux® tubes are available in 7 dimensions from ⅛" (3.2 mm) to ¾" (19.1 mm) for the internal dimensions and a wall thickness from 1.6 to 4.8 mm. As non-sterile stand-alone coils as well as part of pre-sterilized single-use systems from Sartorius Stedim Biotech such as bags, transfer sets, filters or bioreactors. Tuflux® stand-alone tubing coils are available to build your own assemblies. We guarantee the best lead time from stock and robust change control with at least 24 months of change notification at any time.

Tuflux® SIL Silicone Tubing
Consistent Purity, Strong Robustness and additional Ease of Use
Tuflux® SIL is designed to facilitate fluid transfer in the biopharmaceutical manufacturing processes. Tuflux® SIL is a highly resistant platinum cured silicone tubing manufactured by Raumedic.
- Outstanding Purity
- Excellent Pumping Performance
- Easy handling
Purity and Cleanliness
Benefit of the purest Silicone tubing for the transfer of critical fluids. Our platinum cured silicone tubing undergoes an extensive post-curing effect after extrusion to obtain an extremely low level of siloxanes, the most relevant extractable group within Silicone products. Tuflux® SIL is manufactured in ISO7 clean room to maintain the cleanliness of your drug substances.
Robustness
Strong and flexible, with its 60 Shore A hardness Tuflux® SIL ensures solid compromise between pressure resistance, long pumping life time, high flow rates while still maintaining high flexibility of the tube without kinking.
Easy To Handle
The surface is coated in a plasma process. This coating (low tack treatment) provides a less sticky surface of the Tuflux® SIL tubing in comparison with common non-coated silicone tubing products. This eases the unwinding of coils as well as handling with gloves in general.
Tuflux® TPE Thermoplastic Elastomer Tubing
Comfortable Handling, Better Cell Growth and More Flexibility
Tuflux® TPE is the new tubing within the Sartorius Stedim Biotech portfolio made for liquid transfer in the biopharmaceutical industry. It can be heat sealed and welded with Biosealer® TC & Biowelder® TC to maintain sterile conditions.
- Ease of Use/Error Proving
- Best Cell Growth Results
- Highest Flexibility in TPE
Color-Coding
Unique color-coding, aligned with Biowelder® TC tube holders. In addition, the printing of ID and OD dimensions, as well as the tube material on every Tuflux® tubing facilitates identification and ease of use to mitigate operator errors.
Cell Growth
Antioxidant level in tubing formulation is optimized for best cell growth results. No inhibition of cell growth even under worst-case surface to volume ratios in small scale applications due to the absence of Irgafos® 168 and therefore bdtBPP.
Co-Welding
Validated Biowelder® TC parameters for co-welding of Tuflux® TPE to other TPE tubes. Co-Welding parameters have been validated for all combinations of gamma-irradiated and autoclaved TPE tubes across the brands of Tuflux® TPE, C-Flex® 374 and AdvantaFlex®.
