Better sterility with BioBarb
peristaltic fittings
Peristaltic pump manufacturer Watson-Marlow Bredel has developed BioBarb, a range of disposable tube fittings for hygienic pumping that eliminate the risk of cross-contamination during media transfer
The BioBarb 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, while its oversized single barb design provides secure tube adhesion that can be re-enforced using clamps or cable ties if desired
