On display is Trelleborg’s BioPharmaPro portfolio including single-use tubing and custom moulded parts.
Florance Veronelli, segment manager biopharma solutions, Trelleborg Medical Solutions in Europe, said: “The combination of polymer materials expertise, advanced manufacturing processes, innovative engineering and quality assurance provided through BioPharmaPro enables us to provide unsurpassed support to accelerate the business of our biopharmaceutical customers.”
Also highlighted are Trelleborg’s advanced BioPharmaPro composite materials used for chromatography columns.
Mike Urbanski, business development manager, Trelleborg Medical Solutions, said: “Single-use systems (SUSs) represent the future in biopharmaceutical processing of therapeutic drugs with significant advantages over traditional reusable stainless-steel systems. Our lightweight, high tolerance-controlled, non-reactive BioPharmaPro advanced composite columns are designed to replace stainless steel or acrylic multi-use columns. Produced with polypropylene thermoplastics, the raw materials can be recycled after use, offering a more sustainable solution.”
Counterintuitively, biopharmaceutical SUSs are commonly much less environmentally damaging than reusable systems. Seemingly the antithesis of a world trying to move away from disposable products and processes, SUSs promote sustainability by eradicating the need for chemicals and resources, like water and energy, needed for the harsh sterilisation required in reusable systems.
Urbanski adds: “Trelleborg’s BioPharmaProTM adds value for customers through our one-stop shop for complete integrated solutions, from simple products to complex assemblies, allowing system suppliers to focus on drug development while outsourcing the product engineering and consolidating their supply chain.”
