The next-generation Thermo Scientific Labtainer Pro BioProcess Container (BPC) with BioTitan Retention offers a versatile solution for liquid-handling applications when used in conjunction with our comprehensive single-use portfolio. The Labtainer Pro BPC is an ideal solution for use in a variety of applications, including sample preparation, cell culture processes, storage and transport, as well as in custom configurations to fit into your unique workflow. Labtainer Pro BPCs provide flexibility and assurance—without compromise. They are offered in a 2D pillow style with available sizes ranging from 50 mL to 20 L in a variety of porting configurations. Labtainer Pro BPCs are produced in a completely closed, state-of-the-art environment.

Labtainer Pro BPCs with BioTitan Retention features include:

Reliability: The Labtainer Pro BPC is now manufactured with BioTitan Retention—designed to provide superior universal retention that minimizes the risk of leaks and failures at the connection point. The Labtainer Pro is also designed to be configured with two, three, or four ports, without the need for excess ports in the chamber, resulting in fewer potential failure points and no liquid holdup. The improved port design features tapered sides that facilitate a structurally stronger seal. The manufacturing process for the Labtainer Pro BPC incorporates impulse heat sealing for port insertion utilizing Labtainer Automated Manufacturing (LAM) technology. This fully automated method of sealing enables a higher level of control over the amount of heat applied, resulting in a consistent and strong seal throughout the finished product. With no change in materials or components, users of CX5-14- and Aegis 5-14-based BPCs will be able to adopt Labtainer Pro BPCs with minimal to no qualification.

Quality: Labtainer Pro BPCs are inspected after manufacturing, prior to being packaged and shipped. A 100% helium integrity test is also conducted, helping ensure that the most integral product is delivered to the customer. In addition, lot-based bacterial endotoxin testing (BET) and particulate analysis testing (PAT) of Labtainer Pro BPC products has been implemented, to established industry standards. Plus, the outer packaging of the Labtainer Pro BPC was developed to prevent damage during unpacking from sharps or other tools, as well as to reduce outer packaging material by approximately 25%.

Ease of use: The top handle featured on the Labtainer Pro BPC has been improved for more ergonomic handling. The addition of a lower handle on the 2, 5, 10, and 20 L units allows for more ergonomic manipulation. The shape of the BPC chamber has also been redesigned to allow for easy handling of larger BPCs. The Labtainer Pro BPC provides optimal drainage through low profile ports that do not overly extend into the chamber and features chamber geometry that tapers to the ports, reducing the holdup volume at the bottom of the BPC.
