In bioprocessing, it can be the simplest components that make the biggest difference. We’ve seen a rise in requests for custom adapters and jumpers - short, purpose-built assemblies designed to bridge connections between different tubing sizes, connector types, or systems that simply weren’t designed to fit together.

Working closely with HPNE, we are helping customers across the UK overcome these common integration challenges. These parts are rarely available off the shelf, yet they’re essential for keeping operations running smoothly, especially when working across multiple platforms or integrating new equipment into an existing process.

Seamless connections - whatever the challenge

Whether you’re looking to transition from one tubing size to another or connect two different connector types, the BPES and HPNE teams can design and manufacture the ideal solution, with no minimum order quantities.

Trying to go from one tubing size to another?

A simple jumper assembly can be made to your required length, allowing you to weld the entire setup together with a consistent, closed connection. Whether you’re stepping down or up in tubing diameter - such as bridging to a larger transfer line - we can produce clean, weldable assemblies that keep your process sterile and straightforward.

Need to close the loop from one connector type to another?

We have you covered. Our custom adapter sets, designed and built in partnership with HPNE, can link any connector combination you need, for example:

• Aseptic to non-aseptic transitions such as CPC AseptiQuik® or Colder Connectors
• MPC to Luer adapters for quick lab-scale setups
• Tri-Clamp to MPC or barb interfaces for pilot or production systems
• Tube-weldable plugs to standard MPC fittings
• Hybrid assemblies connecting mixed-brand systems in a single fluid path

Don’t see what you’re looking for? Through HPNE’s extensive component range, we can integrate any tubing or connector on the market in any combination - just ask!

Built your way - any tubing, any connector

Our cleanroom-built jumpers and adapters can be configured in any tubing length, diameter, or material, including:

• TPE (Tuflux®, C-Flex®, AdvantaFlex®)
• Platinum-cured silicone
• Peristaltic pump-grade silicone
• PVC and fluoropolymer options where chemical compatibility is key

All assemblies are produced under ISO 7 cleanroom conditions by HPNE and supplied by us ready for use - with optional gamma irradiation available through our partners.

We can support any connector family or brand, including:

• CPC (MPC, MPX, AseptiQuik®)
• Colder and Nordson fittings
• Tri-Clamp, Luer, and barbed connections
• Sanitary and threaded fittings
• Tube-weldable plugs and sockets
• Custom flanged or hybrid assemblies for unique configurations

If it needs to connect, HPNE and BPES can make it happen.

Fast, flexible, and available when others aren’t

One of the biggest frustrations our customers face is availability. Standard adapters and short jumpers are often not listed online or are available only in bulk quantities from major suppliers. Working with HPNE, we have stepped in to bridge that gap, offering made-to-order solutions with no minimum quantities and lead times measured in weeks, not months.

Each adapter or jumper is made to your specification - length, tubing, connector, and configuration - ensuring full compatibility with your process and the ability to weld, seal, or fuse directly into your single-use setup.

Designed to keep your process moving

Every connection in a bioprocess system matters. Whether you’re linking two skids, scaling up to a new format, or modifying an existing process layout, having the right adapter or jumper available can save hours of downtime and validation effort.

Together, BPES and HPNE work with manufacturers, CDMOs, and research organisations to design flexible connection solutions that keep operations efficient and compliant - all while maintaining the same standards of traceability, sterility, and documentation as larger single-use assemblies.

Need a custom connection?

If you’re struggling to find the right adapter online, or need a bespoke jumper to connect two tubing sizes or connector types, reach out to our team. We’ll help you design and deliver the exact configuration you need - built by HPNE, ready for your process.
