Description
1. Product Overview
The Single Use Bioprocess Bag is a pre-sterilized, disposable fluid handling solution engineered for upstream and downstream biopharmaceutical manufacturing. Its primary industrial use spans cell culture, media/buffer preparation, harvest, intermediate storage, and final formulation of biologics, vaccines, and cell & gene therapies. The key value proposition is elimination of cross-contamination risk, reduced cleaning validation, and accelerated batch turnaround, enabling faster time-to-market. It is strategically important in the market as facilities shift to flexible, modular manufacturing models that demand scalability, reduced CAPEX, and compliance with cGMP and regulatory guidelines.
2. Key Specifications & Technical Characteristics
- Chemical Composition / Material Components: Multi-layer film construction with USP Class VI compliant polyethylene fluid contact layer, EVOH gas barrier layer, and outer layers of polyethylene/nylon for mechanical strength. Includes platinum-cured silicone tubing, polycarbonate ports, and sanitary connectors.
- Purity Level or Grade: Manufactured in ISO Class 7 cleanrooms. Gamma-irradiated to SAL 10⁻⁶. BPA-free, DEHP-free, latex-free. Fully tested for USP <87>, <88>, BPOG extractables, and endotoxin <0.25 EU/mL.
- Physical Characteristics:
- Form: Flexible 2D pillow bags and 3D cubic bags
- Color: Clear film for visual inspection of contents
- Volume Range: 50 mL to 3,000 L standard configurations
- Operating Temperature: 2°C to 40°C
- Pressure Rating: Up to 0.5 bar
- Ports: Customizable with aseptic connectors, sample ports, and sensor ports
- Packaging Options: Double polybagged, vacuum-sealed, and boxed. Available with rigid outer containers or totes for 3D bags. Individual batch traceability with CoA and irradiation certificate.
- Shelf Life: 3 years from date of manufacture when stored at 15°C–30°C, away from direct UV light.
3. Core Industrial Applications
- Primary Industries: Biopharmaceuticals, vaccines, monoclonal antibodies, cell & gene therapy, CDMO/CMO facilities, and industrial biotechnology.
- Specific Operational Use Cases: Seed train expansion, media and buffer storage, bulk drug substance hold, sterile filtration pooling, chromatography feed, and cryogenic storage of drug product.
- Why This Product Performs Better Than Alternatives: Compared to stainless steel vessels, it eliminates CIP/SIP cycles, reduces water and energy consumption, and cuts changeover time from days to hours. Vs. lower-grade polymer bags, our film offers superior gas barrier properties, low extractables profile, and validated durability under agitation and shipping stress.
- Efficiency, Durability, or Cost Advantages: Reduces facility footprint and utility costs by up to 40%. Film integrity validated for transport simulation and rocking/rocker bioreactor motion. Scalable design reduces process development risk from pilot to commercial scale.
4. Competitive Advantages
- Quality Consistency: Automated welding and 100% integrity testing per ASTM F2096. Film resin and component supply locked for batch-to-batch reproducibility.
- Supply Reliability: Dual-sourcing strategy on critical raw materials with 12-month safety stock program. Regional manufacturing in North America, EU, and APAC for business continuity.
- Logistics Capability: Global cold-chain validated distribution. Bags ship flat to reduce freight cost and warehouse space vs. rigid systems.
- Price Competitiveness: Tiered volume pricing and long-term supply agreements. Lower total cost of ownership vs. multi-use systems when factoring validation, labor, and utilities.
- Sustainability or Environmental Benefits: 60% less plastic waste by weight compared to rigid alternatives when incinerated for energy recovery. Take-back program available for recycling support. Reduced WFI and cleaning chemical usage.
- Technical Support or Documentation Availability: Full validation guide, extractables/leachables package, USP/EP compliance statements, and regulatory support files. Dedicated technical team for bag design customization and process integration.
5. Commercial & Supply Information
- Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ): BULK 20MT
- Loading Capacity (MT per container): Up to 8 MT per 20ft container and 18 MT per 40ft HQ container, depending on bag size mix and crating configuration
