Exceptional clarity. Reduced spallation. Extended pump tube life. 

Transfer and pump segment tubing play a crucial role in the production of highly specialized biopharmaceutical medications. Choosing the right material is essential for optimal tubing performance. Our new MD- 90000 series offer a wide range of advantages over traditional materials such as rubber and silicone, making Medalist® an outstanding choice due to its recyclability, ability to be processed using standard thermoplastic processing equipment, fast cycle times, generally lower unit cost on a volume basis, weldability, low permeability, low tackiness and wide-ranging regulatory compliance.

Why Use Medalist TPEs for Biopharma Tubing?

• Clarity: Overall, the MD-90000 Series is designed with optical clarity in mind. Moving beyond simply seeing fluid in motion to gaining clear visibility to the inside of the tube is something MD-91970 does exceptionally well.
• Reduced spallation: While the entire MD-90000 series exhibits excellent resistance to spallation, minimizing the risk of particulate contamination, MD-91760 offers an unbeatable combination of spallation resistance and clarity.
• Compression set: MD-91760 and MD-91970 deliver up to 50% better performance than other leading TPE biopharma tubing grades.
• Biocompatibility and safety: MD-90000 Series TPEs are made with FDA-compliant, biocompatible ingredients, free of DEHP, phthalates, BPA, latex, and animal-derived materials.
• Sterilizable: The MD-90000 series can be sterilized with a wide range of methods commonly used in the industry, such as EO, gamma, E-Beam, X-ray and autoclaving.
• Excellent flexibility and durability: MD-90000 series offers superior flexibility and durability, ensuring smooth fluid flow and long-lasting performance.
• Chemical resistance: Our TPEs are resistant to a wide range of chemicals, such as isopropyl alcohol, acids, bases, and disinfectants like chlorine and bleach.
