Porvair Sciences invests in dedicated cGMP facility for porous plastic components

Porvair Sciences reports investment in a dedicated clean area for manufacturing Vyon porous plastic components for healthcare, pharmaceutical and life science products. 

With the global market searching for high performance solutions for critical filtration, laboratory liquid handling and separation applications, Porvair has experienced a doubling in demand for components and products such as pipette filter tips based upon its Vyon porous plastics.

Kevin Doolan, General Manager of Porvair Sciences said: "Our new Vyon white room was built in response to increasing customer requests for a controlled manufacturing environment, dedicated to fulfilling the strict regulatory & cleanliness requirements for components used in their products. Within the white room we have implemented cGMP compliant procedures enabling us to achieve even tighter specifications for contamination-free components."

Proprietary to Porvair Sciences, Vyon is a highly versatile porous plastic which can be modified to give hydrophilic or hydrophobic properties, or enhanced to achieve specific chemical and biochemical separations. It can also be combined with other materials to create application specific composite products.

These and other desirable properties have made Vyon the porous plastic material of choice for healthcare, pharmaceutical and life science companies looking to produce filters, vents, bed supports and sample separation products with a competitive advantage. Vyon is available in a range of shapes and sizes to suit a variety of needs.
