Millipore Corp. is unveiling its Mobius FlexReady Solutions to the worldwide community at Achema. These newly launched units represent a significant breakthrough in Millipore’s single-use solutions, enabling biopharmaceutical manufacturers to readily convert to single-use technology. Users can install equipment, configure applications and validate their processes quickly and easily, significantly shortening development and manufacturing time.
“A significant amount of engineering and process development expertise went into the Mobius FlexReady Solutions,” says Paul Chapman, Millipore’s vice president, Downstream Processing. “The result is a whole new standard in operational flexibility and efficiency for our customers, while also using Millipore’s years of applications expertise and existing high performing products and technologies.”
The Mobius FlexReady systems are designed to accommodate clarification, media and buffer preparation, tangential flow filtration (TFF) and virus filtration unit operations. Millipore plans to add additional platforms in the future. The four units currently available incorporate leading Millipore technologies, such as the following:
Millistak+ Pod Filters: as multiple products come through the pipeline, the Pod format can adapt to changing surface area and media-grade requirements. A wide variety of Millistak+ media provides the ability to fine tune the clarification step without sacrificing sterile filter protection
Pellicon 3 TFF Cassettes: these high-performance cassettes are ideal for filtration processes requiring more rigorous operating pressures, temperatures and caustic cleaning regimes
Viresolve Pro Parvovirus Removal Filters: these virus filtration devices offer high virus retention assurance and fast and efficient processing. The Viresolve Pro Solution represents a major leap forward in virus clearance technology, with a patent-pending membrane, a newly designed device format, new highly sensitive performance tests and a comprehensive range of services and virus clearance expertise
Lynx Sterile Connectors: as part of Mobius disposable assemblies, these connectors provide the critical link between disposable fluid paths and the various steps in a process, whether plastic-to-stainless or plastic-to-plastic
Mobius Mixing and Storage Systems: the Mobius family of Disposable Mixing Systems delivers advanced technology for mixing pharmaceutical ingredients from intermediate to final drug products and for the preparation of process solutions, such as buffers and media
Durapore membranes: provide high flowrates and throughput, low extractables and broad chemical compatibility
The Mobius FlexReady Solutions hardware is ergonomically designed to hold integrated disposable flowpaths for faster setup, maximum adaptability to changing process needs and reduced risk of operator error. The pre-assembled, pre-tested units are even color-coded for ease of recognition.
“We have worked very closely with our customers to develop these innovative, best-in-class single-use manufacturing solutions,” says Jean-Paul Mangeolle, president of Millipore’s Bioprocess Division. “The biomanufacturing industry is changing rapidly and our customers are asking for operational flexibility that will save them time and money while giving them the quality and peace of mind that Millipore has always provided.”
