BIOPROCESSING IS GLOBAL—SO IS OUR SINGLE-USE SUPPLY CHAIN
Avantor’s single-use solutions solve fluid handling challenges across many common bioprocessing applications. The portfolio of products available, globally, all meet strict quality and regulatory requirements.
As an open-architecture manufacturer, Avantor lets you choose from a selection of our own single-use products and also access products from best-in-class manufacturers available from our channel brand, VWR. Our global footprint allows us to design a solution that meets the exact needs of your process and ensures that the materials and products are available – with little disruption to supply chain.
Because our single-use capabilities are global, we can pivot to meet your needs no matter where in the world your company’s production sites are located. Our skilled team typically qualifies multiple sources of key components, mitigating the risk to your production schedule. We optimize our manufacturing and production sites, establishing equivalent capabilities and certifications in order to ensure efficient delivery of your single-use system whenever possible.
Our global single-use capabilities include:
- Fluid handling systems — from transfer assemblies and tubing to bags and pumps — are not one size fits all. We recommend, and work with you to develop, the most ideal system design for your application, including support with prototype and process development.
- Our global fluid handling manufacturing and assembly sites are ISO (International Organization for Standardization) certified and conform to cGMP best practices to help ensure safety, reliability and quality of the products we produce.
- Our Quality Risk Management (QRM) program is a proactive approach to assess, control for, review and correct any potential risk to the quality of our fluid handling assemblies and systems. Our program is applied systemically and with transparency, from the risk-based audits to understand the capabilities of new suppliers to our internal procedures to assess and mitigate risks in our own processes and facilities.
- Our comprehensive supplier management program vets and qualifies first and second sources of key components to ensure a reliable supply chain, globally.
