HPNE introduces defined tubing routing for single-use facilities

High Purity New England (HPNE) has announced its new line of Defined Tubing Routing (DTR), a flexible tubing support system targeted for single-use biopharmaceutical manufacturing.

This modular system holds silicon tubing securely, eliminating dips and preventing dips that occur in unsupported pressurized lines. 

For the first time, skid builders, process engineers, and facilities managers have a proven, mass-produced, and versatile option specifically engineered to define supported and clean routing of single-use tubing.

DTR simplifies single-use tubing management in a cleanroom environment, with color-coded rigid supports for easy visual identification of each tube connection. With solid and supported bridges, even over short spans, it securely holds any length of single-use tubing. The combination of clips and routes are mounted to brackets to provide rigid and secure support, even over long tube runs. Portable mounting panels can be engineered to get tubing off the floor without damaging cleanroom walls.

Megan Baillie, Product Specialist at HPNE, said: “DTR is versatile, modular, and functional. From an engineered full facility install, a single suite or components for skid builders, one product can do so much. It is rare in this industry to find a simple solution to a ubiquitous problem.”DTR comes in 2.9m length, fits a wide range of clips and standard tubing sizes (6-19mm) and comes in many colors. As the US facility installer, HPNE can customize DTR for a variety of applications to streamline the bioprocess. 

Baille added: “We have customized and installed this tubing management system in single-use facilities, where it has been tested and proven. End-user feedback was critical throughout the design process to make sure it is simple, intuitive, and functional.”
