Thermo Fisher Scientific DHX Heat Exchanger BioProcess Container (BPC), ASI 26/77 film, ReadyMate connections, drain ports, three 6-L BPCs

Thermo Scientific™ DHX™ Heat Exchanger BioProcess Container (BPC)

The Thermo Scientific™ DHX™ Heat Exchanger Single-Use BioProcess Container (BPC) is a 2D system consisting of three 6 L BPCs with drain ports. It is composed of Thermo Scientific™ ASI™ 26/77 Polyethylene Film, with interconnecting TPE tubing and ReadyMate DAC end connections.

The DHX Heat Exchanger and DHX BPC each feature a serpentine pattern, creating a sterile fluid path for the process fluid. The BPC fits tightly between the stainless steel DHX Heat Exchanger plate system, and after loading, no further operator interaction is required. The system allows the use of up to four BPCs in the DHX unit.

Features

• Eliminates post-use cleaning steps required with reusable containers, reducing cross-contamination risks
• Provides a sterile processing environment without the cost and time of clean-in-place or steam-in-place sterilization (CIP/SIP)
• Minimizes bioburden by addressing weak points in CIP or sanitation processes typically required for stainless steel equipment
• Reduces maintenance and life cycle costs due to its unique design
• Increases volume capacity via parallel connection between DHX units

Applications

• cGMP commercial and clinical biotherapeutics, vaccines, and other biologic processes
• Upstream applications: media hold, harvest cooling, and harvest hold
• Downstream applications: harvest hold, buffers, protein purification, and bulk drug substance
