Features and Benefits

Benefits of Single-Use Bioprocessing Systems
Single-use bioprocessing concepts are revolutionizing the biopharm industry and have gained wide acceptance among industry leaders, engineering companies, professional associations and regulatory authorities.

HyClone’s BioProcess Container™ (BPC) systems are specifically designed for a variety of sterile and aseptic applications in the biotechnology, veterinary, and biopharmaceutical markets from research to production. BPC systems consist of flexible disposable plastic containers, ports, tubing and fittings and may incorporate ancillary components like filters, valves, etc. The container chambers themselves are offered in a wide range of volumes from 50 mL to more than 1500 L, and come pre-sterilized by gamma irradiation. All BPCs meet stringent regulatory and facility requirements.

HyClone’s BPC disposable systems allow you to embrace the benefits of these new manufacturing concepts to their fullest.
