PureWeld XL tubing, from Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Group (WMFTG), offers extended lifespan and steady flow consistency, overcoming the technical challenges associated with continuous bioprocessing. The results of a recent study demonstrate significantly longer peristaltic pump life and sustainable flow rate delivery when compared with competing TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) tubing. Continuous processing has the potential to significantly increase the efficiency of biologics manufacture, reducing production costs and hence the price of pharmaceuticals. In order to achieve this, all single-use components must be able to maintain integrity for extended production cycles of up to potentially 90 days. For more information, visit www.watson-marlow.com.
