MDI has recently launched a novel single use bag film which protects the media or drug product inside the bag from UV light. Many product formulations or medias are sensitive to degradation when exposed to UV light and this single use bag film is the first of its kind to provide a light blocking film which potects the product from potential UV damage.
The MDI AseptiFlex™-T Film is a highly inert, multilayered polyethylene film specially designed for bioprocess applications. The bag film has been tested for transmittance of UV light and shows almost complete blockage of both wavelengths of light. The table below shows the light transmission results:
This is a novel innovation from MDI and C Cubed Biotech is excited to present this to the Biotech community. The bag film can be scaled from small scale 100 ml sample bags to 2000 L production scale. We look forward to exploring the many applications where a light blocking film may improve the product quality and overall process for single use manufacturing applications.
