Biowelder® TC Sterile Tube Welder
Automated Sterile Tube Welding
Advanced biomanufacturing processes require advanced tools to ensure reliable connections between components. Biowelder® TC is an automated device designed to create sterile connections between thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) tubing assemblies. This proven technology uses unique rotating tube holders to connect dry or liquid-filled TPE tubing and enables complete retention of process fluids by reconnecting discarded tube ends. Validation protocols ensure that Biowelder® TC connections remain sterile.

Versatile Automated Sterile Tube Welder
The Biowelder® TC automatic welding device provides a simple, flexible, and fast solution for creating sterile connections throughout biopharmaceutical manufacturing processes. It can be used with single-use bags, single-use tubing assemblies, and unit operations.
Biowelder® TC Operating Principle
To begin using the Biowelder® TC automatic tube welder, the operator inserts the tube holders, disposable blade, and TPE tubing, then initiates the welding process through the touchscreen interface. The blade is first heated for depyrogenation and then cooled to the welding temperature using an infrared sensor that controls its temperature. After the blade cuts the tubing, the tube holder rotates, and a new sterile connection is established.
