Single-use support products: what are they, and how are they used?
Single-use support products, such as bioprocess containers, are valuable necessities in bioprocessing, especially in biopharmaceutical manufacturing.
Throughout our latest blog, we delve into the ins and outs of these products and how they’re used during research and bioproduction.
As the name suggests, a single-use support product is anything that ‘supports’ your single-use bioprocessing equipment, such as your 3D media bags.
Support products typically refer to reusable items like bioprocess containers that house and protect your single-use laboratory gear during storage and shipping – we’ll be exploring more about these fantastic systems later on!
Single-use items are employed at various stages throughout bioprocessing across numerous industries such as the pharmaceutical, food production and biofuel sectors.
Disposable apparatus utilised by scientific researchers or biomanufacturers often includes:
While single-use products may not align with your sustainability goals, they’re essential in bioprocessing to ensure the safety and efficacy of medicines, foods and chemicals.
As they’re designed to be discarded after one application, you can trust that they’re sterile, helping to reduce the chance of cross-contamination between applications. This is essential as it increases your chances of gaining precise findings and producing effective and safe products
Although much of the equipment used in laboratory or manufacturing settings is single-use, you can still incorporate reusable single-use support apparatus into your operations.
This starts with reusable poly bioprocess containers, designed to be used again, and again and again. These outer packaging units hold the flexible film media bags required for sterile fluid handling throughout upstream and downstream processing. Accessories like Anti-Slosh, Foam, and Support Disk (for tubing) also help protect single-use bags and reduce customer waste output by preventing breaks, rips and tears in single-use bags.

If you need to store your fluids in a warehouse facility ready for distribution, you can stack our units efficiently thanks to their stackable design and palletted bases.
Plus, thanks to their collapsible walls, they can be folded away for simple storage when not in use – how handy is that!
After your reusable packaging container has reached the end of its long lifespan, it can be recycled by us and repurposed, reducing your company’s environmental impact!
