Helium Integrity Testing (HIT™) for 2-D Bioprocessing Vessels

Technology Innovation ATMI® is an acknowledged technology leader in the development and manufacture of single-use bioprocess systems and consumables. Its innovative disposable technologies, best-of-breed polymer films, ultraclean ISO Class 5 manufacturing conditions and whole-bag integrity testing set a high bar for the single-use industry. Today, ATMI is raising the bar even higher with the introduction of Helium integrity Testing (HITâ„¢). Helium Integrity Testing ATMI’s patent-pending HIT technology allows each ATMI 2-D Bioprocess vessel (BPV) to be tested for defects that…

Integrityâ„¢ 2-D and 3-D Bioprocess Vessels

          Efficient movement and storage of liquids is critical to modern biotechnology processes. The deployment of single-use containers for this task has become ubiquitous in recent years because they reduce risk while driving down costs in comparison with traditional stainless steel equipment ATMI’s integrity 2-d and 3-d Bioprocess vessel (BPV) products have been developed to meet the demand for cost-effective, scalable, single-use liquid storage containers that are compatible with ATMI’s market-leading range of single-use mixing and…

Mixing and Resuspension of High Powder Loads Using a Magnetic Mixer

Figure 1. The Newmix-Levtech Magnetic Mixer system is a compact and noninvasive single-use mixing system. Its heart is a mixing bag that incorporates an innovative, bottom-mounted, magnetically driven impeller capable of providing efficient high-torque mixing for all powder-liquid and liquid-liquid mixing applications. The impeller rides on a low-friction, inert bearing assembly designed to ensure low particle shedding while allowing mixing of very high powder loads in large liquid volumes. All product-contacting surfaces are 100% disposable. Introduction Powder-liquid mixing is a…
