Interphex Product Focus

Interphex Booth #1555Biopharmaceutical Grade Tubing
AdvantaFlex tubing, by AdvantaPure, is manufactured from a biopharmaceutical-grade material for the pharmaceutical, biotech, medical, and critical processing industries and is ideal for single-use applications. The tubing can be heat-sealed and welded directly to biobags and components for secure connections without the entrapment issues of fittings. AdvantaFlex is sterilizable by autoclave or gamma radiation. It offers fewer extractables than other tubing. Applications include sterile filling, vaccine production, peristaltic pump transfer systems, sampling and delivery systems, bioreactor processes, cell media and harvesting, pharmaceutical production and processing, high purity water transfer, and filtration.

Interphex Booth #3101Gasket for Sanitary Fittings
The Gore Sta-Pure Gasket provides dimensional stability for increased sealing reliability in critical bioprocess applications. Its construction helps achieve the low particualtion/spallation and leachable/extractable profiles that are necessary for aseptic processing. The durable construction also enables the gasket to withstand repeated clean-in-place/steam-in-place cycles. The Gore Sta-Pure Gasket was designed for the most stringent temperature and pressure requirements. Because the Gore Sta-Pure Gasket can be used universally and integrated into a variety of different systems, it can be used to standardize operations, reduce inventory, and improve purchasing efficiency.

Interphex Booth #2411Certified Clean Low Particulate Bottles
Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc. has introduced the Thermo Scientific Nalgene Certified Clean PETG Containers. The containers are suitable for pharmaceutical and biotechnology applications requiring the processing and storage of bulk intermediates and critical reagents such as vaccine and protein therapeutic preparations. The containers provide gas barrier properties to minimize pH shifts. The bottle and closure system is guaranteed leak-proof, making it suitable for transportation applications. The Nalgene Certified Clean PETG Containers’ packaging is designed for cleanroom applications. Bottle and closure are secured with heat-shrink bands providing a tamper-evident seal and then packaged in cleanroom-grade heat-sealed bags to assure product integrity.

Interphex Booth #254Fermenter & Bioreactor
New Brunswick Scientific has developed a new sterilizable-in-place (SIP) fermenter and new SIP bioreactor for bench-top or mobile use, designed for convenient operation, advanced control, and the flexibility to meet changing process needs. The modular design of the BioFlo 510 fermenter and CelliGen 510 bioreactor enables you to easily add optional components at any time. Advanced controls for regulation of up to 32 loops are accessed from the large touch screen interface. Multiple analog inputs and outputs enable connection of up to 14 external sensors, analyzers, and other devices, for optimized process control. A built-in load cell measures vessel volume for precise additions and harvesting; and 24 vessel penetrations allow you to add sprayballs, sensors, and more.

Interphex Booth #3319Single-Use Mixing System
The XDM Quad single-use mixing system from Xcellerex is designed for fast, convenient mixing of buffer, media, product, and other process fluids. The single-use design eliminates the hassle, cost, and delays of SIP/CIP and cleaning validation, resulting in more efficient processing and rapid batch-to-batch turnover time. Born out of Xcellerex’s experience in single-use biomanufacturing, the XDM Quad system has convenient features that simplify day-to-day process applications. Systems are scalable and are available in sizes of 100, 200, 500 and 1,000 L. Xcellerex, Inc., 866.923.5537, www.xcellerex.com/mix.

Buffers and Biochemicals
Tris Amino Tromethamine from Angus Chemical Company is used in a wide variety of pharmaceutical, ophthalmic, and other life sciences applications, where it serves as a synthesis or analytical buffer, neutralizer, solubilizer, and stabilizer. Tris Amino is a mildly alkaline chemical compound with a molecular weight of 121.14. Its chemical structure is that of a trihydric alcohol, which also possesses primary amine functionality. Tris Amino is readily water-soluble (up to 80 g/100 mL water) and possesses alcohol and glycol solubility. It is also known variously as tromethamine (USP, INCI, and CTFA), tris buffer, THAM or trometamol. Angus Buffers and Biochemicals can also provide additional resources, including special testing, custom blending, and specialized packaging and ERP connectivity.
