Porvair Filtration has opened a Class 100000 (ISO Class 8) clean-room facility at its site in Wrexham, UK.
The facility is part of ongoing investment to produce and package regulatory controlled materials and assembled products in a clean environment.
To complement contract manufacturing for the life-science market, Porvair Filtration has developed Biovyon, a highly purified porous polymeric material.
Chemically modified using novel technologies, the resultant polymeric materials are being adopted by pharmaceutical, biotech, healthcare and analytical companies for filtration, separation, purification, diffusion and fluid transfer applications.
Biovyon standard materials are primarily polyethylene or polypropylene sintered porous plastic materials made by proprietary cGMP processes with low extractable and particle shedding levels.
Available in pore sizes from 5-100 micron (mean flow pore) the materials are available in sheet, roll, cut shapes or moulded and, depending on the particular specification, these materials have regulatory approvals that meet FDA, WDA and USP requirements.
