Bioprocessing Fermentation Process

Tanks, vessels, and bottles store product between the stages of drug production. They are sterilized or involve a sterilized barrier between the vessel and the product (such as a tank liner) to mitigate the risk of contamination. Tank ports are pre-ordered to fit the needs of the application. Sample bottles will include a vent filter to avoid pressurizing the bottle during dispensation and cross-contamination.

Many biopharma applications require the use of vent filters on tank ventilation. Generally, these filters are sterilized to avoid risk of contamination. The filters also serve as a pressure stabilizer for the tank environment.
