In biopharmaceutical production, each instance where materials or products in development must be stored, handled, or transported presents a risk for breakage, contamination, and expensive product loss. In a modern, decentralized biopharmaceutical production line, materials and products must be kept frozen to ensure product safety, consistency, and shelf life. Because of these new realities, we face more production costs, logistics, speed, and complexity.

Bioproduction today has dramatically increased the value of product in each container. Production processes have been contracted out or may be taking place in different parts of the country or globe. At colder temperatures, containers have considerable limitations; traditional storage bottles are often more brittle at cold temperatures and can break easily, do not pack into containers or store in freezers efficiently and take longer to freeze and thaw due to their shape and volume. 

Entegris is in a unique position to help overcome these cold temperature challenges by offering assemblies designed for extreme cold and by partnering with qualified equipment manufacturers specializing in reliable, cold-chain containment. Let us help you gain control over your processes and reduce the potentially enormous financial risk to your valuable products.
