Flexible, scalable containment for bioprocessing workflows
Thermo Fisher single-use bioprocessing bags (BPCs) support sterile, ready-to-use performance—reducing direct contact with stainless steel to help minimize contamination risk and accelerate turnaround between production runs.
Engineered with advanced films like Thermo Scientific Aegis5-14—a five-layer biofilm manufactured in a cGMP facility—these bags offer exceptionally low extractables and leachables to protect product quality. Every unit is produced under rigorous quality standards, aligned with cGMP (21 CFR Part 820) and ISO 9001, enabling consistent, reliable performance.
Secure, leak-resistant connections are supported with the Thermo Scientific BioTitan Retention Device, creating a robust 360-degree seal you can trust throughout the various stages of your process.
Bag formats and configurations to support workflow stages
Bioprocessing workflows vary by volume, sterility, mixing, and transfer needs. Thermo Scientific single‑use bags align to each step of your workflow and scale:
Design your single-use fluid transfer assembly—faster and with confidence
Our Single-Use Assembly Configurator Tool makes it easy to create custom assemblies tailored to your process or select in-stock, ready-to-ship options to help reduce lead times.

Frequently asked questions
Bioprocessing bags and containers enable single‑use operations by offering a sterile, closed barrier between process equipment and materials such as media, cells, and buffers. They lower contamination risk, speed changeovers by removing extensive cleaning, add flexibility across storage, mixing, and transfer, and help reduce cross‑batch risk in compliant single‑use workflows.
Start by confirming compatibility with your existing equipment and connectors. Then evaluate the film—the bag’s multilayer material—for mechanical integrity and barrier performance. Choose films with low leachables and extractables and proven compatibility with your specific media, cells, and buffers to help minimize sample impact and leak risk.
Cable ties are used to secure tubing connections, but they can cause uneven compression, create sharp edges, and often require bubble wrap for shipping, leading to tedious unpacking. Thermo Scientific bioprocessing bags use the Thermo Scientific BioTitan Retention Device to create a smooth, 360-degree seal that helps prevent leaks and eliminates the need for bubble wrap during shipping.
Single‑use bags cut water, energy, and chemicals by reducing cleaning and sterilization, but create polymer waste that needs responsible disposal or energy recovery; stainless steel reduces solid waste but requires intensive clean‑in‑place/sterilize‑in‑place, increasing utilities, emissions, and wastewater. A process‑specific lifecycle assessment is recommended to quantify sustainability tradeoffs.
