Description
Silicone Extension Lines are ready-to-use lengths of platinum-cured silicone tubing that extend existing single-use assemblies for liquid transfer throughout a biomanufacturing process. Each line arrives sterile and is pre-fitted with widely used Opta®SFT, Tri-Clamp or quick-coupler interfaces, so set-up time is minimal.
Key features
Platinum-cured Tuflux®SIL tube releases up to ten times fewer siloxanes than conventional silicone.
60 Shore A hardness combines flexibility with pressure resistance for sustained pumping.
Qualified engagements withstand at least 1 bar, while Oetiker clamp versions reach 1.5 bar.
Three standard lengths—1.5 m, 3 m and 5 m—cover common layouts.
Twenty-four-month change notification supports long-term process control.
Applications
Media or buffer make-up and transfer.
Feed and harvest lines on single-use bioreactors.
Downstream intermediate and drug-substance distribution.
Connection of bags, filters or mixers where additional reach is required.

Internal diameter options from 6.4 mm (¼ in) to 25.4 mm (1 in), depending on design.
