A better option for applications requiring pressure processing
Meissner’s braid reinforced M-Sil™ silicone tubing is an excellent choice for critical biopharmaceutical manufacturing operations where pressure is required for processing, such as PUPSIT (Pre-Use Post Sterilization Integrity Testing) requirements. The silicone tubing is manufactured in a Class 7 cleanroom from a platinum-catalyzed biomedical extrusion-grade silicone elastomer. The braid reinforced silicone tubing is certified animal component free (ACF) and has a low extractables profile. M-Sil™ tubing performs well over a temperature range from -70 °C to 180 °C (-94 °F to 356 °F).
M-Sil™ braid reinforced tubing is sterilizable by gamma irradiation and autoclave processes. A wide selection of standard tubing sizes is available from 1/4″ ID (Inner Diameter) to 1″ ID. Custom tubing sizes can be extruded. A comprehensive qualification package is available to assist clients in the qualification process, and our team of Applications Engineers can help ensure that your process requirements are safely met.
M-Sil™ braid reinforced tubing is available in the following IDs: 1/4″, 3/8″, 1/2″, 3/4″, 1″.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is M-Sil™ Braid Reinforced Silicone Tubing?
M-Sil™ Braid Reinforced Silicone Tubing is Meissner’s reinforced silicone tubing designed for critical biopharmaceutical fluid transfer applications where pressure capability is important. It combines the flexibility of silicone with added braid reinforcement to support more demanding process conditions while maintaining reliable fluid handling performance.
What is M-Sil™ tubing used for?
M-Sil™ tubing is used for biopharmaceutical fluid transfer in applications that require pressure resistance, durability, and secure performance. It is especially well suited for process steps where reinforced tubing is preferred, including demanding transfer operations and applications such as PUPSIT-related workflows.
Why use braid reinforced silicone tubing instead of standard silicone tubing?
Braid reinforced silicone tubing is used when a process requires greater pressure handling than standard silicone tubing alone can typically provide. The reinforcement helps improve structural support under pressure while still preserving the flexibility and usability associated with silicone tubing.
What are the main benefits of M-Sil™ Braid Reinforced Silicone Tubing?
M-Sil™ tubing is designed to provide pressure resistance, flexibility, durability, low extractables, and reliable performance in critical fluid transfer operations. It is also animal component free and manufactured for use in demanding biopharmaceutical environments.
What sizes are available for M-Sil™ tubing?
M-Sil™ Braid Reinforced Silicone Tubing is available in a range of standard inner diameters to support different flow requirements and process setups. Standard sizes include options from 1/4 inch to 1 inch inner diameter, with custom sizes also available for specific application needs.
What sterilization methods does M-Sil™ tubing support?
M-Sil™ tubing is compatible with common sterilization methods used in biopharmaceutical processing, including gamma irradiation and autoclave sterilization. This supports use in both presterilized assemblies and sterilized-in-house process workflows.
What temperature range can M-Sil™ tubing handle?
M-Sil™ tubing is designed to perform across a broad operating temperature range, making it suitable for a variety of demanding process conditions. It is intended for applications that require dependable tubing performance under both cold and elevated temperature environments.
Is M-Sil™ tubing suitable for biopharmaceutical manufacturing?
Yes. M-Sil™ tubing is designed for critical biopharmaceutical manufacturing operations and is manufactured in a controlled cleanroom environment using materials selected for high-purity process use. Its low extractables profile and reinforced design help support demanding fluid transfer applications.
Can M-Sil™ tubing be customized?
Yes. In addition to standard sizes, custom M-Sil™ tubing sizes can be produced to support specific process requirements. This helps users match tubing dimensions and configuration needs to their exact application.
Does Meissner provide qualification support for M-Sil™ tubing?
Yes. M-Sil™ tubing is supported by a qualification package to help users with evaluation and implementation in regulated biopharmaceutical processes. Meissner also provides application support to help align the tubing selection with process requirements.
