    Abstract: A leak detection system comprising: an adapter configured to be coupled to a conduit and direct leakage from the conduit to a leakage sensor, wherein the adapter comprises a wick comprising: a hydrophilic material, a cationic polymer material, an anionic polymer material, a hydrophilic non-ionic material, or any combination thereof. A leak detection system comprising: a laminate adapted to transport leaked fluid from a conduit to a leakage sensor, wherein the laminate comprises: a wick adapted to transport the leaked fluid; and an adhesive adapted to secure the wick to the conduit. A leak detection system comprising: a wick disposed on a substrate and adapted to transport leaked fluid from a conduit to a leakage sensor, wherein the wick comprises a plurality of fluid channels in a matrix arrangement.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to flexible tubing, for example, suitable for use in peristaltic pumps. The present disclosure relates more particularly to flexible tubing having a stable flow rate despite being extruded from thermoplastic polymer and methods for making such tubing. In one aspect, at least 50% of the material volume of a flexible tubing of the disclosure is formed from a first polymer material that includes a continuous phase that includes polypropylene and a non-cross-linked styrene block copolymer elastomer miscible with the polypropylene, as well as, dispersed within the continuous phase (e.g., discontinuously dispersed within the continuous phase), a cross-linked rubber phase. The non-cross-linked styrene block copolymer elastomer is present in the first polymeric material in an amount in the range of 2 wt % to 15 wt %. In certain desirable embodiments of the flexible tubings described herein, the flexible tubing has a flow rate variation over the 480 hours of use of less than 20%.
