Using bioprocess containers for cell isolation
Feb 04th, 2026
Turning bioprocess challenges into smart solutions: In this blog, we’ll explore how to turn your complex bioprocess hurdles into scalable, real‑world manufacturing success.
In pharmaceutical and bioprocessing environments, contamination, validation delays, pressure fluctuations, and process changes can directly impact strict timelines.
As development pipelines expand and multi-product facilities become more common, fluid management strategies need to do more. They must help maintain sterility, support scalable operations, and strengthen audit readiness as production demands evolve.
Biopharmaceutical manufacturers operate in environments where regulatory scrutiny must be actively managed at every stage of production.
Bioprocess containers are not simply disposable bins.
ALLpaQ bioprocess containers help manufacturers convert operational constraints into structured, compliant fluid management solutions that support GMP alignment and scalable production growth.
Behind every bioprocessing solution is a team.
They listen first, think fast, and build with purpose.
Our Business Development Managers, Walter Canullo and Justin Chandler, support biopharmaceutical manufacturers by solving challenges across complex upstream and downstream processing environments.
We asked Walter Canullo and Justin Chandler to tell us what life is like at ALLpaQ.
“Collaborative. Fast-moving. Customer-focused. Always solving challenges.”
Biopharma manufacturing has never moved faster.
Teams are increasing production of biologics, cell and gene therapies, and vaccines. At the same time, they must meet compliance requirements, control costs, and adapt to evolving process designs.
Our BDMs see these challenges daily. From their perspective, these are the restraints they consistently see rise to the top:
Facilities are increasingly required to switch quickly between products and volumes. Manufacturers cannot afford long changeovers or rigid infrastructure.
Even expanding sites struggle with footprint. Every piece of equipment must work smarter, not just bigger.
A single delayed consumable can halt production and put projects worth millions at risk.
That is exactly why bioprocessing technology has become such a critical support system.
Bioprocessing systems can reduce downtime, minimise contamination risk, and help support rapid upscaling from clinical to commercial manufacturing. They enable modular facilities to align with the realities of modern biologics and vaccine development.
And this is where ALLpaQ adds real value.
ALLpaQ does not force customers’ processes to adapt to a standard bioprocessing range. We turn bioprocess challenges into smart solutions with custom design and engineering. Your bioprocess should define the container requirements. The solution begins by designing the container to fit the process, not the other way around.
“If a standard solution does not fit, we will rethink it.” – Justin Chandler
From media and buffer preparation through storage, transfer, and upstream and downstream processing, ALLpaQ supports every stage of the bioprocess with flexible fluid handling systems.
The ALLpaQ Portfolio includes:
A favourite among the BDM team is the 500L rigid container, as well as our larger 500L, and 1000L bioprocess containers.
Why?
“Because they are robust, hygienic, and highly customisable. Customers can specify ports, drain positions, tubing configurations, and dimensions that fit their exact cleanroom layout and bag design.” – Walter Canullo
As Justin Chandler put it:
“There is something powerful about taking flat sheet material and transforming it into a fully engineered solution that performs flawlessly on the floor.”
“Recently, we worked with a manufacturer managing multiple bag suppliers and volumes across their process. Their team needed a single standardised container solution that could accommodate different designs without increasing manual handling or requiring facility redesign.
By carefully mapping drain port positions, handling requirements, and space limitations, we engineered a multi-bag compatible tote system.”
The result:
In biopharmaceutical manufacturing, quality is not optional; it’s foundational.
We develop every ALLpaQ product specifically for GMP environments and support each one with:
Our customers rely on us not just for totes, but also for confidence during research, development, and technology transfers.
One thing bioprocessing research and developers value most is adaptability.
Early-stage biotech companies often need low minimum order quantities and flexible designs that evolve quickly. Large commercial manufacturers require repeatability, standardisation, and long-term supply security.
ALLpaQ supports both. If our customers grow, we grow with them. Whether it is a small bespoke prototype or a global rollout of standardised containers, we scale without compromising quality, turning bioprocess challenges into smart solutions.
Spend a day with the ALLpaQ BDM Team, and one thing becomes clear.
No two days are ever the same.
It is fast-paced and dynamic, but that is exactly what makes it exciting. There is a shared belief across the ALLteaM that no challenge is too complex.
The future of bioprocessing is flexible, modular, and smarter by design.
We are seeing:
Whether you are refining upstream processing, improving process flow between upstream and downstream, or preparing your facility for the next therapy, our ALLteaM is ready to work with you to develop practical, scalable solutions.
Let’s design your solution together.
