Single-Use Beta Bags from Central Research Laboratories® Improve Cost, Efficiency and Flexibility in the Manufacture of Aseptic Life Science Products
DOWNERS GROVE, Ill., Feb. 27, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Central Research Laboratories® (CRL), part of Destaco and Dover (NYSE: DOV), and a global leader in the remote-handling industry, today announced the launch of its new Single-Use Beta Bag product line. The disposable Single-Use Beta Bags are designed for sterilization and transfer of components into isolation during the manufacture of aseptic Life Science products, such as Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients.
"Our customers are asking for additional options to transfer critical components in and out of containment more efficiently," said Tom Gahr, General Manager, CRL. "Single-Use Beta Bags provide the needed flexibility and ready-to-use solutions our customers are looking for while helping us fill out our remote-handling product portfolio."
Aseptic manufacturing requires that all products remain free of contaminants through every step of the production process. CRL's Single-Use Beta Bag accomplishes this task through a design that uses a combination of Tyvek® and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) plastic.
The bags are manufactured in the United States and assembled in an ISO-certified cleanroom. Autoclavable and gamma-sterilizable versions are available. Currently, CRL is offering the Single-Use Beta Bags in the 190 mm size, with additional 105 mm and 270 mm sizes in development. While the CRL Beta Bag design is single-use, the bag can dock multiple times and interface with a variety of Alpha Port models, providing expanded manufacturing flexibility.
Single-use Life Science technology is growing in popularity because it can be a cost-effective alternative to traditional multi-use production systems, while also reducing cross-contamination risks and manufacturing times. In combination with CRL Rapid Transfer Ports, the Single-Use Beta Bag provides customers the opportunity to have the best of both worlds in a single system.
CRL's Single-Use Beta Bag will debut March 2-3 at the 2020 ISPE Aseptic Conference in North Bethesda, MD. Stop by booth #209 for hands-on demonstrations and more information about this new single-use technology.
