The Advantages of AdvantaFlex
AdvantaFlex, an AdvantaPure thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) tubing, offers numerous benefits in biopharmaceutical applications due to its unique properties and advanced formulation. Here are some of the key advantages of using AdvantaFlex:
• Biocompatibility: AdvantaFlex is biocompatible, making it suitable for various applications. It meets stringent regulatory standards, which can be found here, ensuring it is safe for sensitive applications.
• Serializability: AdvantaFlex can withstand various sterilization methods, such as gamma radiation and autoclaving. This makes it ideal for single-use applications where sterility is required.
• Flexibility and Softness: AdvantaFlex combines rubber’s elasticity with plastics’ processability. Its flexibility and softness make it suitable for applications like tubing and overmolding, where a soft touch is preferable.
• Chemical Resistance: AdvantaFlex exhibits excellent resistance to a wide range of chemicals, including many solvents and oils. This is crucial in biopharmaceutical environments where contact with various chemicals is common. Learn more about chemical compatibility here.
• Translucency: AdvantaFlex is naturally translucent, which is advantageous for applications requiring visual inspection of the fluid.
• Low Extractables and Leachables: AdvantaFlex is formulated to minimize extractables and leachables, ensuring the purity and safety of biopharmaceutical products. Our comprehensive validation guide includes a full BPOG testing report, which you can request a copy of here.
• Processability: AdvantaFlex can be processed using conventional thermoplastic manufacturing techniques and equipment. This makes it a versatile and cost-effective material for producing parts used in a variety of biopharmaceutical applications.
• Lower Absorption: With less permeability than silicone, AdvantaFlex may have a lower absorption to chemicals commonly used in bioprocessing, making it a better choice for certain manufacturing processes.
AdvantaFlex by AdvantaPure is a valuable material in the biopharmaceutical industry. It contributes to the development of safe, effective, and reliable products. Its biocompatibility, flexibility, chemical resistance, and processability make it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications.
