Mitigating Cryopreservation Risks with a Single-Use Solutions Partner
Exploring the Benefits of Polyurethane Thin-film Welding for Medical Device Applications
Thermoplastics have been used in flexible medical product applications since the 1960s, when plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC) blood storage bags replaced glass bottles.1 In the 1970s, PVC became the material of choice for Band-Aids®, and a decade later the use of polymeric film patches in surgical draping became popular, replacing latex films. Over time, the […]
Leveraging Single-use Solutions to Solve Working Cell Bank Challenges
See how custom manifolds enable efficiency in a cryopreservation stage of allogeneic therapy development Background & Challenge A customer was looking for a more streamlined method to overcome three challenges to develop the formulation and filling processes for their cryopreserved working cell bank: managing larger liquid volumes within a closed system before moving into their […]
How Single-use Cryopreservation Solutions Enable Biopharmaceutical Manufacturing
Cryopreservation plays a fundamental role in biopharmaceutical operations, allowing researchers and advanced therapy manufacturers to preserve biological specimens for extended periods of time. This technique involves freezing cells and other biological fluids to temperatures that dip down to between -135°C to -196°C (liquid nitrogen temperatures), effectively halting biological activity while maintaining cell integrity and performance. […]
Four Common Types of Cryogenic Studies for Advanced Therapies
Cryopreservation is an indispensable part of bioprocessing and the manufacture of advanced cell and gene therapies. However, the success of cryopreservation heavily depends on the construction of single-use bags and components used to bring these life-saving therapies to patients. Biopharma manufacturers need these single-use solutions built to applicable specifications so they can withstand the harsh […]
