FlexFill Single-Use Transfer Assembly

FlexFill

Meissner introduces its new FlexFill single-use biocontainer transfer assembly. The assembly is ideally suited for applications requiring fast and dependable aseptic transfer of small liquid process volumes.

The FlexFill assembly provides a convenient way to aseptically transfer bottled cell culture media, sera, reagents, supplements, buffers and microcarriers to a bioreactor. FlexFill mitigates the risk of product contamination and effectively addresses the challenges associated with directly transferring sterile bottled liquids to single-use or multiple-use bioreactor systems in non-permissive environments.

The FlexFill single-use biocontainer transfer assembly is easy to operate. FlexFill's extra large screw cap port and unique location allow for rapid and convenient filling of the biocontainer assembly. This step is easily conducted aseptically inside a laminar flow hood using the portable stainless steel FlexCessory stand. Once filled, the liquid can either be stored in the biocontainer assembly or transferred, incrementally or in its entirety, without any hold up volume to your culture system. FlexFill assemblies can be customized to support aseptic connectivity with a host of fitting and tubing options to allow for a seamless interface with your process.

The FlexFill fluid transfer assembly is part of Meissner's expanding single-use liquid handling portfolio. It is manufactured from Meissner's fully qualified pharmaceutical-grade TepoFlex film. FlexFill is delivered sterile and is available in volumes from 500 mL to 6 L.
