Thermo Scientific Nalgene bottle assemblies for closed, sterile fluid transfer
Pre-assembled, gamma-irradiated bottle systems designed to streamline fluid handling, reduce contamination risk, and accelerate bioprocess workflows. Single-use bottle assemblies are ready-to-use fluid transfer systems that combine bottles, tubing, and closures into a sterile, closed solution—eliminating the need for in-house assembly, cleaning, and validation.
Benefits:
- Helps reduce contamination risk with closed systems
- Helps eliminate cleaning and validation steps
- Save time with ready-to-use assemblies
What are single-use bottle assemblies?
Nalgene single-use bottle assemblies are preconfigured, sterile systems used to transfer, store, and sample fluids in bioprocessing. They integrate bottles, tubing, and closures into a single, ready-to-use solution that reduces setup time and minimizes contamination risk.
Why are they used?
- Reduce contamination risk in fluid transfer
- Eliminate cleaning and sterilization requirements
- Improve efficiency and reduce labor time
Simplify fluid handling with Nalgene bottle assemblies
Reduce operational burden
Eliminate the need to source components, assemble systems, and validate cleaning processes. Preconfigured assemblies arrive ready to use, helping teams focus on core process activities.
Improve process safety
Closed system designs help minimize exposure to the environment, reducing the risk of contamination and supporting consistent product quality.
Accelerate workflow
Gamma-irradiated and fully assembled, these systems reduce setup time and enable faster turnaround between batches.
Enable flexibility
Available in multiple sizes and configurations, bottle assemblies can be selected to meet a wide range of process requirements from sampling to bulk handling.
Applications across bioprocessing workflows
Designed to support both upstream and downstream operations, Nalgene single-use bottle assemblies offer a flexible solution for fluid handling across development, pilot, and production environments.
- Media and buffer transfer
- Sampling during upstream processing
- Harvest collection and bulk storage
- Filtration and downstream connections
