Tue, May 2, 2023 11:00 AM EDT{LOCAL_TZ}

Event Overview: 

The use of tubing is ubiquitous across the Biopharmaceutical manufacturing process including upstream, downstream and fill and finish.  As more suppliers enter the market, it’s important for users to make informed decisions on which tubing to select, especially when some suppliers will offer multiple versions of the same type of tubing. This webcast will help to summarize the main buying factors to consider and how you might make a selection.
  • Technical considerations
  • Commercial considerations
Key Learning Objectives: 
  • Understand the main technical considerations in choosing tubing
    • Application? pumping? General transfer? Pressures? Material?
    • Take into account, durometer, pressure rating, pump life,
    • Types of tubing,  Braided Silicone, TPE, Pump Sil, TPR/TPV pump tubing
  • Understand the main commercial considerations in choosing tubing
    • Quality systems
    • Lead times
    • Prices
    • Customer Support
    • Country of origin
  • Learn how tubing suppliers try to differentiate themselves
    • Business Models will differ between tubing suppliers.
      • Direct vs Distribution
    • One stop shop vs specialization
      • Some companies provide full end to end solutions while others may specialize with tubing or connectors for example.
    • Integrators/Dist. may be tubing agnostic and source customer requested tubing from different manufacturers
