Culture Media in Bags for Aseptic Process Simulation
PharmaMedia Dr. Müller (PMM) supplies ready-to-use culture media in bags for Aseptic Process Simulation (APS). Developed with the requirements of pharmaceutical manufacturers in mind, these solutions provide a practical format for APS applications where defined media volumes need to be handled within controlled aseptic processes.
PMM’s media-in-bag solutions are available in different volumes, with options for multiple connector types and additional bags for further testing. This customer-oriented approach allows the configuration of the media solution to be adapted to specific APS requirements.
Ready-to-Use Media in Bags for Pharmaceutical Aseptic Process Simulation (APS)
Aseptic Process Simulation is used to simulate aseptic manufacturing processes using microbiological growth media. PMM provides media in bags specifically for this application, offering ready-to-use solutions designed to simplify media handling during APS.
PMM offers bag manifolds for Aseptic Process Simulation (Mediafills) with different media volumes. The solutions can be configured according to customer requirements, including different connector options and additional bags for supplementary testing.
Flexible Media Volumes
PMM’s media-in-bag portfolio provides flexibility for pharmaceutical manufacturers requiring different quantities of culture media for APS applications.
The currently listed products include:
- TSB, 20 L bag — Item 694.L020
- TSB, 45 L bag — Item 696.L045
- TSB, 500 L bag – Item 695.L500
Both products are supplied as one bag per unit.
PMM also offers media for APS in different volumes and compositions beyond the currently listed standard products. Customers can contact PMM to discuss their specific requirements.
Customer-Oriented Configuration for Aseptic Process Simulation
PMM develops its media-in-bag solutions with a customer-oriented approach. Depending on the application, ready-to-use media in bags can be supplied with:
- Different media volumes
- Multiple types of connectors
- Optional additional bags for further tests
- Different media compositions
This flexibility enables pharmaceutical manufacturers to select a configuration suited to their specific APS process and testing requirements.
