Bioprocessing Fluid Management

Bioprocessing fluid management involves transferring bioprocess fluids such as media, buffers, and samples within bioprocessing facilities using tubing, filters, bags, bottles, and carboys. Preventing leaks and contamination is crucial, as they can result in costly batch losses and facility contamination. To address this, our products undergo rigorous integrity and leak analysis testing. The novel Thermo Scientific BioTitan Retention Device secures fittings and connections with 360° seal points, significantly reducing the risk of leaks.

Single-use systems generally include a frame, mechanical components, and disposable elements. The parts of the system that contact samples are disposable bags, containers or tubing, typically made of plastic. These pre-sterilized bags and fluid transfer assemblies can be easily replaced after each use, to help minimize contamination risk and help reduce time on cleaning and decontaminating the equipment. Our single-use bags are made from the single-use Thermo Scientific Aegis5-14 film, which is Irgafos-free to support healthier cell cultures.

Facilities face many challenges from finding the correct solutions to quality and supply assurance. To overcome these challenges, we offer a Single-Use Assembly Configurator and specialist support to help you design your ideal assembly. Our products are rigorously tested for integrity and made from quality materials. Rather than using cable ties with uneven compression at connection points that can result in leaks, secure your single-use assemblies with the BioTitan Retention Device that forms a 360-degree seal, mitigating the risk of connection failures. To help ensure supply, we have a large single-use global manufacturing network to offer an in stock and ready-to-ship portfolio to help reduce lead times.

We offer a comprehensive line of products designed to work together to help you scale from 5 mL to 500 L. Our bioprocess bags are available in a wide variety of shapes and sizes to support many applications across the workflow from fluid mixing to fill finish. Many of our products are stocked and ready to ship. We have a Global Standard Component Library (GSCL) that can be leveraged to support your custom needs. Find solutions for your application using the Single-Use Assembly Configurator or by contacting a specialist.

Single-use technologies can support sustainability goals by offering a means to significantly reduce the amount of cleaning fluids, water, and energy used in production. We have also introduced biobased products and reduced packaging to lower our combined environmental footprint. To further reduce your environmental impact, you can speak with one of our bioprocessing specialists who can help you optimize your processes for efficiency and sustainability. Keep track of your progress by enrolling in our Bioproduction Sustain Program. As part of this program, you will receive a detailed annual report that quantifies the emissions reduction achieved from your eligible product purchases to help you achieve your sustainability goals.
