Paw Bioscience Adapter 1/4 in. HB to 1/1.5 in. TC 20 Adapters

Description

Paw BioScience Sanitary Reduction Adapter – 1/4 in. Hose Barb to 1 in. / 1.5 in. Tri-Clamp Flange, Natural Polypropylene, USP Class VI, Autoclave Safe (MPN: 30118-069)

The Paw BioScience 30118-069 is a premium, bioprocess-grade sanitary reduction adapter precision-engineered for single-use fluid networks, diagnostic filtration systems, and aseptic fluid-transfer manifolds. Molded from high-purity natural polypropylene, this critical component transitions standard flexible tubing lines up to robust processing systems. It features a 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) interlocking hose barb on one side and a universally adaptive 1 inch / 1.5 inch Maxi Tri-Clamp (TC) sanitary flange on the other. This seamless, single-piece reduction coupling provides exceptional chemical resistance and an ultra-low extractables profile, preventing structural liquid turbulence, fluid stagnation, and contamination risks in high-purity laboratory applications.

Technical Performance and Design

• Universal Maxi Tri-Clamp Interface: Outfitted with a standard, precision-molded 1-inch to 1.5-inch Maxi Tri-Clamp flange face. This standardized profile hooks up cleanly to any universal ASME-BPE compliant sanitary flange system using standard sanitary clamps and silicone gaskets.

• Interlocking 1/4 in. Hose Barb Profile: Features an integrated 1/4 inch hose barb stem. The uniform, sharp barb ridges stretch the interior of flexible lines (such as platinum-cured silicone, Tygon, or C-Flex), using fluid backpressure to create a tight mechanical joint that eliminates pressure blowouts.

• Natural Polypropylene Base Matrix: Injection-molded from medical-grade natural polypropylene resin completely free of animal-derived components, chemical slip-agents, and heavy colorants. This chemistry guarantees excellent resistance to acids, bases, and organic cleanroom sanitizers.

• Smooth Bore Fluidic Geometry: The internal transition core is engineered with a smooth, molded interior bore that reduces fluid turbulent flow, pocket vortexing, and shear stresses, protecting sensitive proteins or live cell cultures during routing.

Key Benefits and Applications

• Single-Use Manifold Integration: The ideal inline splice component for adapting small-bore 1/4-inch peristaltic pump tubing lines or sampling ports onto large bioreactor head plates, hard-piped manifold lines, or stainless steel processing systems.

• Biopharmaceutical Cleanroom Routing: Extensively deployed across pilot plants and formulation facilities for safely transferring bulk pharmaceuticals, active enzyme buffers, cell media feeds, and pure chromatography eluates.

• Eliminated Cleaning Validation Maintenance: Intended for single-use or campaign-based single application, completely removing the extensive labor costs, log tracing, and cross-batch contamination risks of legacy metallic adapters.

• Lightweight Structural Layout: The high-strength polymer frame minimizes structural sagging, twisting, or bending stresses on soft silicone tubing lines, protecting fluid networks from localized kinking or unexpected blockages.
