Build your own 2D, 3D BioProcess Container, and fluid transfer assembly solutions

Are you struggling with the complexities of designing single use assemblies for fluid management?

Check out our Single-Use Assembly Configurator Tool—a comprehensive, step-by-step design tool that helps you create tailored solutions easily. Streamline your design process to get the assembly you need faster and easier.

 

The tool guides you through our bottle/carboy assemblies, tank/drum manifolds, bag‑based single‑use systems, and liner‑integrated builds. It filters components by sterility method, materials, connectors, tubing sizes, and port standards, then proposes compatible formats (closed/open, mixing/transfer/hold). Users get verified BOMs, drawings, and specs tailored to sampling, prep, storage, distribution, and waste handling

 

See a list of information that is helpful to have ready before you use the tool.

Frequently asked questions

Choose an assembly based on required volume, process step (prep, hold, transfer), and sterility needs (closed vs open, gamma/autoclave). Match materials and tubing diameter to fluid type, temperature, and chemical compatibility. Ensure connector and port standards fit your equipment. Use verified components and documentation to support compliance.

To determine the size(s) needed and the best material for your configuration, the following information is helpful to have ready:

  • Target volumes and batch sizes
  • Process steps (prep, hold, transfer)
  • Sterilization method (gamma irradiation/autoclave)
  • Closed/open system preference
  • Fluid type and temperature/chemical compatibility
  • Tubing material and size
  • Connector/port standards (tri‑clamp, sanitary, quick‑connect)
  • Required filters/vents
  • Mixing needs; liner/use‑case preferences
  • Equipment make/model
  • Documentation needs (CoA/CoC, verification)

3D rendering enables a clear, to‑scale view of the assembly, to verify component layout, orientation, reach, and port alignment. It highlights clashes, bend radii, and clearance issues, confirms connector compatibility, and verifies ergonomic access and flow direction. This visual check reduces rework, accelerates approvals, and supports confident submission of a build-ready design. It can also be used for receiving verification and SOPs.

Common challenges include selecting chemically- and sterility‑compatible components, matching connector and port standards, and choosing appropriate tubing materials and sizes. Determining correct line routing to avoid kinks, dead legs, and flow restrictions is critical. Teams also struggle to decide between 2D vs 3D BPC formats based on volume, mixing, and spatial/layout needs.

Yes. The configurator lets you filter and select standard, in‑stock components (tubing, connectors, caps, filters, and fittings) while also building custom assemblies. It flags compatible options, updates lead‑time estimates and generates BOMs using ready‑to‑ship parts where possible. This accelerates procurement and manufacturing, reducing cycle times without sacrificing sterility, compatibility, or documentation.

Fluid management solutions that enhance assembly design

Enhance configured assemblies with compatible bioprocess containers (2D/3D bags), carboys and bottles, tubing/manifolds (silicone, TPE), aseptic connectors, vent filters, and tank liners. Add mixers, pumps, and sanitary fittings to complete closed paths for prep, storage, transfer, and waste handling, improving sterility, efficiency, and scalability across the workflow.

Bioprocess bags

Bioprocess bags are ready-to-use fluid containers engineered for sterile liquid handling. Many chamber options are available such as 2D, 3D, and tank liners made from films, including our flagship Aegis5-14, to help meet the demands of bioproduction processes.
 

Fill finish solutions

Standard and configurable fill-finish solutions designed to maximize drug product recovery.  Exceptional lead times due to standard and configurable product design.



 

BioTitan Retention Device

The BioTitan Retention Device enhances single-use assemblies with a secure 360-degree seal around tubing and fittings.  As an exceptional replacement for traditional cable ties, it mitigates the risk of leaks, simplifies setup, and improves the reliability and integrity of bioprocessing workflows.
