Sterile Single-Use Bag Filling - Biopharma Fluid Management At A Higher Level

Anyone involved in bioprocessing will be aware of the issues and complexities associated with aseptic or sterile filling. In order to ensure a smooth execution, this is a critical step in the highly technical fill and finish process. It needs to be well planned, ensuring that well-trained personnel, the necessary capacities (think scaling) and facilities are available. And as if precise and strict coordination was not enough, there are a number of strict standards and regulations that need to be considered, while a lack of uniformity does not help to make things easier.

In a field where sterilization is critical and where approaches are as manifold as the manufacturers processing and supplying the market with medical drugs, one of the main concerns is or should be simplification. Not only can single-use technology simplify processes, it can also bring greater ease-of-use with custom manifold assemblies, TPE or silicone tubing and bags that are adaptable and widely compatible.
