DuPont Liveo Pharma TPE tubing

DuPont’s Liveo Pharma TPE Tubing is extruded pharma tubing based on thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) technology, dedicated to fluid transport and single-use bioprocessing applications, under similar high-quality and high-performance principles as the Liveo Silicone Pharma Tubing product lines.

The tubing has been developed to complement Liveo Pharma Tubing and Overmolded Assembly (OMA) products made from silicone with a continued focus on product quality, purity and performance. The next-generation TPE tubing is designed to enable improved heat welding to itself and to alternative offerings; high tensile strength and burst resistance before and after welding; minimal spallation after 24 h of pumping; low extractables; and good chemical resistance.

The tubing is targeted for use in biopharma processes to enable aseptic connection and disconnection of tubing without connectors (eg, sampling) and can be used in peristaltic pump applications. TPE tubing has been increasingly adopted in bioprocessing single-use applications due to its thermo-weldability.
