PharMed® BPT is designed to maintain fluid integrity during fluid transport. Transporting biocompatible fluids through a peristaltic pump limits the risk of fluid contact with any portion of the pump itself. PharMed® BPT tubing has been formulated to withstand the rigors of peristaltic pumping action while providing the biocompatible fluid surface required in sensitive applications.

• It can be autoclaved repeatedly, and withstands repeated CIP and SIP cleaning and sterilization
• PharMed® BPT outlasts silicone tubing in peristaltic pumps by up to 30 times, and ensures low particulate spallation

With its superior flex life characteristics, Pharmed® BPT tubing simplifies manufacturing processes by reducing production downtime due to pump tubing failure. The excellent wear properties of this tubing can also lead to reduced erosion of the tubing interior walls, improving the overall efficiency of filtering systems. Designed to simplify cleaning and sterilization, PharMed® BPT tubing is ideal for use in clean-in-place and steam-in-place cleaning and sterilization systems. It is compatible with virtually all commercial cleaners and sanitizers, and can be repeatedly autoclaved for up to five cycle times without affecting overall service life.

PharMed® tubing meets USP Class VI criteria and is non-toxic, non-hemolytic, and non-pyrogenic. In addition, PharMed® BPT tubing meets FDA 21 CFR Part 177.2600 criteria for food contact. Pharmed® BPT tubing also complies with the ISO 10993 guidelines for contact with blood (or other body fluids and tissue) for up to 30 days as listed in the FDA GP-95. Pharmed® BPT tubing has a master file with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

This tubing can be exposed to Cobalt 60 gamma radiation levels of up to 5 MRads with minimal effect on physical properties. Superior to silicone tubing for many applications, the PharMed® BPT tubing is less permeable to gases and vapors than silicone tubing. It is ideal for protecting sensitive cell culture, fermentation, synthesis, separation, purification, and process monitoring and control systems. This tubing offers very good general chemical resistance and excellent acid, alkali, and oxidation resistance. Opaque to visible to UV light, PharMed® BPT tubing will help to protect sensitive fluids. Continuous service temperature range is –60 to 275 °F (–51 to 135 °C).
