Products
Fluid transfer sets and sterile tubing assemblies
Standard and custom fluid transfer sets and tubing assemblies for sterile transfer, sampling, and component processing in bioprocessing and blood management; configurable for sterile-weld and closed-system workflows.
In-line filtration devices (40 µm and 150 µm)
Low hold-up-volume inline filters designed for removal of cell aggregates and particulates in process and final‑fill workflows; available with DEHP-free material options and validation data to support integration.
Cryogenic storage containers and cold-chain tubing
Single-use cryogenic containers and cold-chain tubing validated for ultra-low temperatures with formats suitable for storage, transport, and cassette integration; designed for compatibility with liquid nitrogen conditions.
Cell expansion containers
Single-use containers designed for expansion and culture of non-adherent cells with formats suitable for regulated and research applications.
Blood management disposables (aliquot systems, transfer and pooling sets)
Disposable aliquot bag systems, plasma processing bags, pooling harness sets, blood transfer bags, and sampling sets designed for blood bank and transfusion workflows; options for pediatric and neonatal use.
Platelet sampling sets
Sampling sets for transferring platelet samples from apheresis or whole-blood derived units to automated culture or testing systems; designed for controlled sample volume transfer and sterile docking.

Services
Engineering and prototyping of bespoke single-use assemblies using a component library; includes responsiveness on project timelines, rapid drawing turnaround, prototype samples, and documentation packages.
Controlled-rate, long-term, containment/protection, and transportation studies to evaluate material–product interactions and to optimize cryopreservation and cold-chain protocols with tailored reports.
End-to-end manifold design including process definition, fluid-path design, equipment/sensor integration, build, and packaging for multi-bag filling and automated or manual workflows.
