Watson-Marlow Bredel Improves Sterility with BioBarb Fittings

Improving on its already renowned hygienic pumping solutions, world leading peristaltic pump manufacturer Watson-Marlow Bredel has developed BioBarb, a range of disposable tube fittings that eliminate the risk of cross-contamination during media transfer.

The range completes Watson-Marlow Bredel’s sterile pumping package and includes connectors, end caps and clamps, available in a choice of sizes to ensure product integrity from source to delivery.

The connector’s inner diameter is identical to that of the tube to provide an unimpeded path, whilst its oversized single barb design provides secure tube adhesion that can be re-enforced using clamps or cable ties if desired. The disposable nature eliminates the need for cleaning and therefore maximises uptime.

Mike Sullivan, Watson-Marlow Bredel says: “Our new range of BioBarb fittings allow us to support the growing demand for disposable components, ensuring sterility throughout the transfer process and providing the perfect solution for clean-room environments.”

Manufactured using DMF-listed polypropylene, the connectors comply with FDA and USP Class VI test protocols. Similarly, the clamps are produced using glass-reinforced nylon compliant with USP Class VI. Permanent moulded lot and size identification on the connectors ensures accurate traceability and enables correct usage.

Watson-Marlow Bredel is the largest manufacturer of tube and hose pumps in the world, with over one million pumps sold.

Watson-Marlow Bredel pumps have no valves, seals or glands, and the fluid contacts only the bore of an elastomeric hose or tube. Because they are simple to install, easy to operate and quick to maintain, they are the world's fastest-growing pump type for flows from microlitres to 80 cubic metres an hour and pressures up to 16 bar.

Watson-Marlow Alitea, a recent addition to the Group through acquisition, adds further competencies in the area of high precision, low-flow pumps for OEM applications.

Part of the Spirax-Sarco Engineering Group, Watson-Marlow Bredel Pumps is an international operation based in Falmouth, Cornwall, UK. Watson-Marlow Pumps has offices in Belgium, Brazil, China, France, Germany, Italy, Korea, Malaysia, the Netherlands, South Africa, Sweden and the USA.
