Single-use technology has been transforming the modern biomanufacturing workflow. You can now find single-use bags at every stage of bioprocessing: bioreactor and mixing systems, harvest and collection, purification, liquid and powder storage, and transportation.

The Strength of Simplicity: One Film for Bioprocessing
At GE, we’re introducing one film for our entire portfolio of single-use systems. It’s named Fortem after the Latin word for strong — and aptly so because it is strong in many ways. It was born of customer collaboration, supplier partnership, and GE’s bioprocessing expertise. It offers the simplicity of qualifying one film across the full range of your single-use bioprocessing systems, saving you time, effort, and cost.

Unlike other platform films, Fortem film is not a retrofitted solution. It has been designed from the ground up for bioprocessing. To achieve this, we’ve partnered with Sealed Air Corporation, a manufacturer of primary films for pharmaceutical solutions. We’ve listened closely to your needs and applied our expertise and experience in material science, application performance, and security of supply, along with a deep commitment to our investment in the future.
