The Relief Through Customized Manifolds

Without a doubt automated filling drug substance into single use bags will be the future in Biomanufacturing industry due to its efficiency and its approach towards sterility. However, single use assemblies for automated filling platforms lack flexibility once clients have special requirements or may go different ways.

One global life-science company consults biopharmaceutical companies in finding the right setup for tubings, manifolds, sterile connectors and all kinds of sterile consumables and often face challenges in provision of the applicable solution. In one scenario, one CMO opted for commercialized automated filling of small bags
with a volume of 500ml. There were 1000 bags to fill per batch.

None of the single use manifold assemblies matched the requirements of the CMO. The supply of manifolds was solely standardized and had no option on customized requirements.

The life-science organization has contacted Single Use Support and reported the exemplary CMO’s need in representation of the market’s needs. The CMO used RoSS.FILL as automated filling platform and provided the manifolds from another supplier. Thereupon Single Use Support took major effort to develop a customized solution of single use manifolds.
