FAQ
SILMOTION single-use tubing is specifically designed for safe fluid transfer in pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical applications. It is commonly used in processes such as media and buffer processing, filtration, fermentation, and cell harvesting. This tubing is highly favored in the biopharmaceutical sector for its reliable performance.
SILMOTION tubing features a patented Low Tack surface treatment that enhances its pumping properties by reducing gliding force and material abrasion, thus increasing the tubing's lifespan. This special surface treatment also improves handling by reducing the stickiness of the tubing's surface, making it less likely to attract dust and other particulate contaminants.
SILMOTION tubing is made from high-purity, platinum-cured silicone, which is superior to peroxide-cured tubing. It offers excellent resistance to weak acids and alkalis, and can withstand temperatures ranging from -60°C to +200°C. Additionally, it has strong resistance to water and low-pressure steam up to 135°C. This tubing is also optimized for cell growth, making it ideal for biopharma applications.
SILMOTION silicone tubing is tested according to various standards to ensure its safety and performance. It fulfills the requirements of the European Pharmacopoeia 3.1.9 and FDA regulation 21CFR, § 177.2600. The tubing is also ISO 10993 tested and meets USP Class VI standards, ensuring its biocompatibility and suitability for medical and pharmaceutical uses.
