DuPont is showcasing at the 2023 EBC Biopharma Conference, introducing a series of products for value chain users in the biopharmaceutical industry.
The showcase includes new China-made silicone tubing enabling local material supply and meeting growing local demand. DuPont Healthcare also announces the new Chinese brand name for Liveo Healthcare Solutions at the exhibition for the first time.
At the EBC exhibition, DuPont Liveo Healthcare is showcasing several product lines for biopharmaceutical processing solutions at the booth, including:
- Liveo Pharma Silicone Tubing: Tubing of different duro hardness, peristaltic pump tubing, and braided reinforced tubing
- Liveo Pharma TPE Tubing
- Liveo Pharma Silicone Tubing and Overmoulded Assemblies
One of the featured products, Liveo Pharma-50 (AP) Pharma Silicone Tubing, is produced in China, in a production environment that meets ISO Class 7 cleanroom standards. Liveo Pharma-50 (AP) tubing consists of biomedical grade, platinum-catalysed silicone designed for ultra-pure fluid transfer applications for upstream and downstream processing of pharma and biopharma drug products. As tubing represents one of the largest surface areas in direct contact with drug substances during the drug manufacturing process, Pharma-50 (AP) tubing needs to meet strict regulatory and quality requirements.
In August 2022, DuPont announced that it was increasing production capabilities for its Liveo Pharma Silicone Tubing by adding manufacturing capacity in eastern China. The manufacturing expansion aims to meet demand for high-quality, high-performance biopharmaceutical tubing in Greater China.
With the supply of localised materials, DuPont Healthcare is officially announcing the new Chinese brand name for Liveo - 利维优 at the EBC Conference. Zhang Xin, Asia Pacific commercial leader for healthcare and MOLYKOTE specialty lubricants, DuPont Electronics & Industrial, said: "利维优 demonstrates the commitment of Liveo Healthcare to using material technology to bring customers products of high purity and high quality. Our products help protect the health of patients and healthcare providers worldwide, and the high-performance materials help create safer healthcare environments enabling smarter healthcare and positive patient outcomes."
