Merck Millipore launches film for single-use process containers

摘要

Merck Millipore has expanded its single-use film offerings with the addition of PureFlex Plus, a robust, durable film used in the construction of Mobius single-use process containers for biopharmaceutical manufacturing. PureFlex Plus adds a new, more robust linear low density polyethlene (LLDPE) outer layer, which reduces susceptibility to leaks through abrasion, puncture, stretching and tearing. The inner layers are identical to the original PureFlex product and offer the same extractables profile and gas barrier properties. Because the fluid contact layer is the same in both films, current users can incorporate PureFlex Plus technology with reduced validation requirements into their film use. Merck Millipore will continue to offer the original PureFlex film for customers who do not wish to change products. 'Biopharmaceutical manufacturers are increasingly incorporating single-use components into their processes to maximise efficiency and reduce costs,' said Andrew Bulpin, Executive Vice President of Merck MilliDore.
