Merck Millipore to Highlight Biomanufacturing Solutions at Interphex 2015

Merck Millipore will be exhibiting at  Interphex 2015 in New York City and will be offering solutions for all stages of the drug manufacturing process, from research to industrial-scale production and quality control. The complete range of technologies help the biopharmaceutical industry improve productivity, lower risks, reduce costs and ensure safety. Together with its customers, Merck Millipore is advancing bioproduction to accelerate development of therapeutic drugs for patients in need.

Featured Merck Millipore products will include

PureFlex Plus Single-Use Process Container Film

The PureFlex Plus film is a robust, durable film used in the construction of Mobius single-use process containers for biopharmaceutical manufacturing. The film's rugged outer layer offers strong resistance to leak formation, making it ideal for the demanding applications often encountered in large volume operations.

The PureFlex Plus film can be used throughout the entire manufacturing process. It builds upon Merck Millipore's established PureFlex film technology by adding a new, more robust linear low density polyethlene (LLDPE) outer layer to reduce susceptibility to leaks through abrasion, puncture, stretching and tearing.

NovaSeptum Single-Use Holders

NovaSeptum single-use holders are a new component of Merck Millipore's NovaSeptum sampling systems, which help prevent contamination when sampling fluids from aseptic and sterile processes. The new single-use holders are compatible with NovaSeptum containers, helping reduce validation requirements, and can be filled with any type of container using a 2-mm trigger.

Ready-to-use, flexible and fully validated, the single-use holders are ideal for manufacturers dealing with recombinant proteins, vaccines and mAbs.

Steritest Symbio Pumps

Steritest Symbio Pumps enable easier, safer and more reliable sterility testing of pharmaceutical products in laminar flow hoods, isolators and clean rooms. The pumps were developed to help users meet stringent pharmaceutical testing requirements.

The compact housing design of the Steritest Symbio Pumps allows ready access in laminar flow hoods and is compatible with vertical and horizontal air flows. The small design also maximizes working space and increases loading capacity in isolators, improving workflows and efficiency. Air-tight housing and passive cooling prevent particle emission.
