Cold-Chain Bioprocessing Applications
Aramus™ single-use bag assemblies are ideal for cold chain collection and storage. Our single-layer fluoropolymer provides gamma stability with low extactables and leachables (E&L) and has a wide operating temperature range.
Our bag assemblies, tubing, and connectors can be adapted to a number of SUS configurations, making Aramus single-use bag assemblies a flexible and dependable choice for cold bioprocessing applications.
