Qosina, a global supplier of OEM single-use components to the medical and biopharmaceutical industries, has teamed up with DuPont Liveo Healthcare Solutions, a provider of innovative design and production solutions for biopharmaceutical, pharmaceutical and medical device markets.

As part of this collaboration, Qosina has added five new Liveo biopharmaceutical-grade tubing products to its extensive tubing portfolio. These high-purity tubings are available in both platinum-cured silicone and thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) options and are designed for ultra-pure fluid transfer applications in pharmaceutical and biotechnological manufacturing processes. With more than 30 options to choose from.

Qosina will market the following DuPont Liveo tubing to customers:

• Liveo Pharma-50
This platinum-cured silicone tubing is designed for the transfer of ultra-pure liquids, air or steam in pharmaceutical and bioprocess applications. This tubing offers flexibility, a low extractables profile, is easily sterilized and is stable over a wide temperature range.

• Liveo Pharma-65
This platinum-cured silicone tubing is designed for the transfer of ultra-pure liquids, air or steam in pharmaceutical and bioprocess applications. This tubing offers flexibility, a low extractables profile, is easily sterilized and is stable over a wide temperature range. It offers greater pressure and kink resistance compared to Liveo Pharma-50.

• Liveo Pharma-80
This platinum-cured silicone tubing is designed for the transfer of ultra-pure liquids, air or steam in pharmaceutical and bioprocess applications. This tubing offers flexibility, a low extractables profile, is easily sterilized and is stable over a wide temperature range. It offers the highest kink resistance and is an alternative to reinforced tubing for moderate to high pressure applications.

• Liveo Pharma Advanced Pump Tubing
This translucent platinum-cured silicone tubing is designed for pumping ultra-pure liquids in pharmaceutical and bioprocess applications. This tubing offers excellent flexibility, a low extractables profile, is easily sterilized and has outstanding filling accuracy. It is designed to offer up to four times the pump life of standard platinum-cured silicone tubing.

Liveo Pharma TPE Tubing
This thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) tubing is sterilizable, weldable and designed for the transfer of fluid in pharmaceutical and bioprocess applications. This tubing offers a low extractables profile, minimal spallation after 24 hours of pumping, and has good chemical resistance and improved heat-welding, both to itself and competitive tubing.
