Single-Use Pumps in Biologicals Production
Biologicals represent the new frontier in drug production. In order to optimize biological production, drug manufacturers must utilize pumps that are compatible with the filtering systems used in the production process and operate in a way that doesn't damage the biological matter. This means incorporating single-use pumps that can deliver reliable low-shear, low-slip, low-temperature, low-pulsation flow rates through specialized filtration equipment such as tangential flow filters, chromatography columns and centrifuges. Single-use positive displacement four-piston diaphragm pumps from Quattroflow™ have been proven to be the best choice for use in all varieties of critical biological-production and -handling applications.
