Method for Evaluating Bio-Container Transportation Applications

Figure 1. Single-use components are finding more use in the biopharmaceutical industry. One application increasing in use is transportation of sterile liquids. There are many challenges to consider when shipping a flexible container with sterile liquids. Typical Bio-Containers used in shipping applications are constructed of multiple layers. The fluid-contact layer is typically constructed of low, linear low, or ultralow density polyethylene (LDPE, LLDPE, or ULDPE). A variety of gasbarrier layers can be used in construction of the multilayer film, and…
