Entegris Launches Aramus(TM) Single-Use Bag Assembly for Life Sciences Bioprocessing Applications and Final Filling
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
New technology offers increased levels of protection in one fluoropolymer,
gamma-stable layer
BILLERICA, Mass., April 27, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Entegris,
Inc. (NASDAQ:ENTG) announced today its new Aramus(TM) 2D bag assembly for
single-use bioprocessing applications. Available in 500-ml, 1-liter and 2-liter
sizes, Aramus assemblies use ultrapure, advanced film technology that is
comprised of one fluoropolymer, gamma-stable film in a single layer. The new
film provides an increased level of security and protection from particles and
eliminates many of the common extractables from traditional single-use bags that
can leach into bioprocessing fluids. The new bag - along with associated clamps,
tubing and fittings that complete the assembly - represents the first of a
future suite of single-use products that Entegris will offer under the Aramus
brand.

"Entegris has a long history of providing advanced, polymer-based technologies
for leading-edge processes that have stringent quality standards and
contamination controls. This served us well in developing a single, strong
bioprocessing film that maintains gamma stability," noted Entegris Director of
Life Sciences, Eric Isberg. "Our new Aramus bag assembly leverages that history
and expertise, and provides a new level of purity and protection for final
filling with the flexibility for use in a wide variety of other bioprocessing
applications."
Advanced bioprocessing applications rely heavily today on single-use
technologies to effectively meet cost and batch-size requirements in
bioprocessing. Critical challenges for bags, or vessels, involve protecting and
maintaining the purity of bioprocess materials housed in the vessels, as well as
the integrity of the vessels themselves to withstand a variety of temperatures
and uses, handling and transportation. The Aramus bag incorporates an innovative
film that consists of a high-grade, gamma-stable and durable fluoropolymer
material in one layer. Using a single layer avoids the requirement of adhesives
and binders commonly used in the industry to meld multiple film layers together
for added protection. These adhesives and binders, along with particulates from
the films, can often leach into bioprocess materials and result in contamination
and failure of the high-value, processed batch. Aramus bags are free of this
occurrence. The one-film/one-layer feature, along with the strength of the film,
can lead to lower risk of assembly failures and higher yield.
Manufactured in an ISO Class 5 cleanroom, with materials and manufacturing
methodology that go beyond the standard protocols, Aramus single-use assemblies
offer universal material compatibility and allow for easier validation.
Moreover, the Entegris fluoropolymer technology offers utility in a wider range
of operating temperatures, including increased efficacy in frozen applications
(to -85°C) to reduce the risk of assembly breakage.
