Freudenberg Medical Expands Biopharma Line with Single-Use Assemblies
Freudenberg Medical has broadened its biopharma product portfolio to include custom single-use assemblies, a strategic move that leverages the company’s extensive expertise in silicone extrusion and molding processes. This expansion is particularly important for critical fluid transfer applications in lab settings or current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) bioprocesses. Designed to meet customer-specific requirements, these custom assemblies—such as single-use y-connector manifolds, tubing assemblies, and bottle cap assemblies with multiple inlets and outlets—are engineered to ensure unobstructed fluid flow and prevent leaks, thereby addressing common problems associated with traditional fluid couplings and connectors.
Every product in this new line is manufactured in cleanroom environments to maintain the highest standards of purity and reliability. Freudenberg Medical has meticulously validated its production processes to guarantee the reliable over-molding of y-manifolds on customer-specified tube ends. These innovations enhance the existing PharmaFocus product line, which includes high-purity, platinum-cured silicone tubing and sanitary ends designed for single-use systems. By expanding its product range, Freudenberg Medical aims to provide robust and reliable solutions for critical biopharma applications, further solidifying its position as a trusted partner in the industry.
Freudenberg’s new biopharma products find applications in a variety of fields such as bioprocessing, biotechnology, lab processes, GMP manufacturing, and small batch processes. Moreover, they are particularly beneficial for emerging fields like cell and gene therapy, the production of mRNA, biosimilars, and regenerative proteins. This expansion underscores Freudenberg’s commitment to addressing the evolving needs of the biopharma industry by offering solutions that are not only innovative but also adaptable to specific customer requirements.
