Fluoropolymers play a critical role in the storage, freezing, and shipping of critical bioprocess fluids. Not all fluoropolymers are ideally suited for all applications, so it is important to understand the characteristics of each and the benefit of using one over another for your specific application.
Most Common Fluoropolymer Materials
Fluoropolymers have more commonalities than differences. Such characteristics include:
Extremely high purity compared with other plastics
used in bioprocessing, including very low or no measurable
leachables or extractablesInert and nonreactivity with nearly every chemical used
in life science applicationsRelatively low coefficients of friction (meaning no
adhesion to biological materials), inherent resistance to
bioburden and biofilm, and ease of cleaningVery high thermal stability, leading to an extensive
service temperature range to temperatures as high at
200°C and as low as liquid nitrogen (–196 °C)Unmatched durability and are virtually unbreakable
during use – even at blast freeze temperatures.

Our Biopharmaceutical School is the perfect course to gain a well-rounded understanding of the Biopharmaceutical industry. Over three days, you will understand the principle steps in the biopharmaceutical lifecycle, including: raw material selection, up and downstream processes and core technology. Additionally, you will be familiarised with the latest industry trends, including Industry 4.0, and how these are likely to impact the industry’s evolution.
Through a combination of sessions led by experts from the likes of GSK and Pall Biotech, as well as group discussions with your peers, you will learn how to bring a biopharmaceutical drug to market. Each day will be chaired by a different member of the BioProcess International Academy faculty and there will also be time for networking and Q&As with the experts.
