Tube Assemblies

Tube sets and manifolds are used to connect various processes or equipment such as bioreactors, vessels, flexible bags systems and filtration equipment. Tube sets may either replace or augment stainless process tubing. Biopharmaceutical manufacturers can either assemble and sterilize assemblies on site or purchase pre-assembled, pre-sterilized systems from a number of single-use suppliers.

Manufacturers are increasingly incorporating single-use manifolds and tube sets into their facilities due a number of realized benefits. Utilizing disposable tubing systems eliminates time-consuming cleaning operations which reduces facility down time and minimizes cross contamination risks. Decreased cleaning activities reduces labor expense, chemical and WFI usage. Over traditional hard-piped systems flexible tubing offers greater operational flexibility particularly for multi-product facilities.

Colder offers a wide range of bioprocessing connection solutions including Steam-Thru and SaniQuik Connection technologies that help facilitate the integration of tube sets and manifolds.
