Bioprocessing Films

Plastic films used in BioProcess Containers (BPCs)

Our Thermo Scientific films are engineered to meet the most demanding requirements of your bioproduction processes. Depending on your requirements, one or more of our products should meet your production needs.

One partner—assurance of supply

  • Bioprocess containers manufactured from different families of films
  • Manufactured in four cGMP-compliant sites

Bioprocessing film key benefits
  • Outstanding physical characteristics for superior puncture resistance and content integrity
  • Coextruded structure to avoid film delamination
  • Greater cleanliness and low leachable/extractable profiles to support end-product purity and quality
  • High gas- and liquid-barrier properties for better content stability
  • Comprehensive documentation available for all our films
