Switching to Single-Use, Single-Layer Fluoropolymers for Bioprocessing 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. Entegris Aramus™ single-layer fluoropolymer bag assemblies eliminate these risks. Here’s how: In a modern, decentralized biopharmaceutical production line, materials and products must be kept frozen to ensure product safety, consistency, and shelf life, and then they are stored, handled, and shipped at cold temperatures many times in many facilities.

HANDLING CONTAMINATION

Bottles must be uncapped and recapped in costlycleanroom environments to prevent contamination.

CONNECTING ARAMUS BAGSAramus bag assemblies have built-in connectors madeof high-purity materials, eliminating the need to uncapor recap when connecting to process tools.

CUSTOM DESIGNEDEach Aramus bag assembly is custom-designed to meetyour specific bulk drug substance filling needs and tightdelivery timelines.

The Entegris Aramus single-use bag assembly is made from a single layer of high-grade, gamma-stable fluoropolymer film that ensures product remains inert, and they are custom designed to fit seamlessly into your process, and can even improve your bottom line.
