Comparative Analysis Of Tubing Retention Devices

Within bioproduction workflows, tubing connections are critical, and traditionally, cable ties have been the go-to solution. However, cable ties present several challenges in ensuring secure and consistent tubing connections. These challenges include the potential for leaks due to incomplete seals, uneven compression leading to weak spots, and concerns regarding sharp edges and particulate generation.

The Thermo Scientific™ BioTitan™ Retention Device addresses these challenges with its innovative design that considers tubing configuration, internal and external tubing dimensions, barb type, collar and expansion capabilities, and tubing type. This device forms a collar, delivering consistent force for a complete seal around tubing and fittings, offering 360° protection and reliable performance across a range of temperatures and applications.

A comparative analysis was performed, measuring the average pressure tolerances of the BioTitan device against standard cable ties and two competitor products when used with varied sizes, tubing types, and environmental conditions.
