The new Redipor® Beta Bag ensures the safe transfer of ready-to-use gamma-irradiated prepared media into sterile workspaces.
New multiple-use sterile media transfer bags reduce time and risk during product
transfer - optimising productivity in pharmaceutical production
Cherwell launches Redipor® Beta Bags to
support continuous manufacturing of sterile
medicinal products
Cherwell, cleanroom microbiology solutions expert, has launched
the Redipor® Beta Bag to ensure the safe transfer of ready-to-use
gamma-irradiated prepared media into sterile manufacturing environments.
This new multiple-use product transfer bag can reduce
risk, cost and time in environmental monitoring (EM) processes during
continuous manufacturing of sterile medicinal products.
Offered as a tailored solution, customers can specify the media,
formulation and plate type contained within Redipor Beta Bags, depending
on their sterile workflow needs. The new transfer bags are
fully validated and compatible with 190mm Getinge Alpha Ports
used in isolators and RABS, enabling contamination-free transfer of
the Redipor plated media to maintain rapid production and significantly
reduce risk.
As the pharmacopoeia compliant media is gamma-irradiated
within Redipor Beta Bags, this eliminates the time-consuming decontamination
stage required during the standard transfer process
of plated media into a sterile workspace for EM. Also streamlining
processes, the bags can be attached to a Getinge Alpha Port up to
four times without compromising integrity. Sleeves of plates can be
stored in the bag and introduced as required, enabling continuous
EM, freeing up isolator workspace, and minimising waste of plates
and use of single-use plastic packaging.
“We developed our new Redipor Beta Bag to simplify our customers’
sterile workflows during EM programmes for their isolators,
whilst optimising safety and efficiency,” said Andy Whittard, Managing
Director, Cherwell. “To achieve this, we focused on three key
factors during our design process: the contamination-free transfer
of Redipor prepared sterile media; time and cost savings for our customers’
processes; and ease-of-use.”
Andy added, “Annex 1 is driving further risk reduction within
the pharmaceutical sector. Product innovations, such as our Redipor
Beta Bag range, will be needed to keep pace with these changing
needs and give our customers a competitive advantage. This new
product also supports sustainability initiatives as it reduces need for
single-use plastic, use of harmful VHP, and unused plate wastage.”
The Company has created a short video to demonstrate how the
Redipor Beta Bag truly simplifies customers’ workflows, giving processes
greater adaptability, while ensuring maximum safety of products
manufactured, and ultimately patients.
Cherwell provides a comprehensive range of Redipor prepared
media options, with room temperature stability and long shelf-life,
specifically designed for EM in controlled environments. The new
Redipor Beta Bag, which is available with a GS1-compliant data matrix
barcode, is a versatile addition to this well-established range,
ensuring that the highest levels of production and patient safety is
achieved.
