CDMO & Multi-Bag Bioprocess Infrastructure

Bringing a new CDMO suite online means specifying, testing and validating physical infrastructure against the specific bag systems and SOPs of the first customer. Speed of commissioning matters. Our in-house CNC fabrication and engineering capability supports rapid prototyping — approval-ready technical drawings within weeks of brief intake, cleanroom-ready prototypes shortly after, and iteration cycles measured in days rather than months. Facilities commission faster, and customer-specific configurations can be re-prototyped without restarting the entire engineering programme.

Every minute spent on cleaning validation between batches is a minute that does not generate facility revenue. Stainless steel imposes a cleaning validation burden — and CIP/SIP cycles — that compounds across every changeover. BagBox thermoplastic carriers eliminate the cleaning validation burden. Surfaces are wipe-clean and sealed; cleaning is operationally simple; turnaround is fast. For a CDMO running multiple campaigns through a single suite, this difference translates directly into more campaigns per year and higher facility utilisation.

CDMOs do not control which SUT bag system their customers specify. The infrastructure has to work with whatever bag the next campaign requires. Our entire range is vendor-agnostic by design. We build to bag geometry and port specification, not to a single supplier. A BagBox cleanroom tote that fits a Sartorius bag today will continue to fit a Cytiva bag tomorrow when the customer mix changes — without revalidation, without restocking, without rework.
