Value Plastics’ new high tech series of bag ports offers a
variety of benefits new to the biopharmaceutical industry
through a combination of Value Pharma™ resin and a unique
design. Value Pharma™ resin holds credentials that many
manufacturers deem fundamental, such as animal derivative
free qualification, USP Class VI certification, and the guarantee
of heat sealing and conformance with polyethylene bags.
The resin then goes even further to provide a strong, 24-hour
resistance to alcohol stress cracking.
Their unique design sets these new ports apart from
existing solutions. They not only conform with frequently
utilized tubing sizes from 1/8” (3.2 mm) to 1” (25.4 mm),
but they are also designed to ASME and BPE ferrule
specifications, allowing them to work with leading industry
fittings, filters and other devices. However, the most notable
of the bag ports’ specifications are those that are new to
the industry – the parabolic lead and the alignment ribs.
These two features, respectively, reduce the amount of time
it takes to drain a bag by 17-24 percent, and the improved
flow dynamics have the added benefit of less turbidity,
causing less cell damage in biotechnology applications.
