Safe and easy transfer of powder

As health and safety requirements become more stringent, the single-use contained powder transfer bag is an effective solution to protect the operator from active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and/or the API from operator-borne contamination.

ATMI Packaging, a global manufacturer of ultraclean flexible packaging solutions and single-use mixing and storing systems for the biopharmaceutical industry, has developed a Contained Powder Transfer Bag for contained transfer of critical active ingredients and intermediates. The specific design of this flexible single-use transfer system facilitates the easy, safe and clean transfer of API powders and drug substances between different process steps. High containment levels can be met in combination with a split butterfly valve. The bottle-shaped bag has a handle for easy transfer of powders and a PE Tri-clamp connector for safe and easy connection. The Contained Powder Transfer Bag is said to significantly reduce production cost and time for cleaning and validation, guarantee 99.9% product recovery and allow for complete visibility through its transparent liner.
