VueLife®Custom Bags

Afc can produce custom bags to your specifications.  We can work with you to design bags of any shape, internal device, ports, and connectors.

Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene - FEP) is used in the production of our patented laser sealed bags because of the unique properties and biological benefits this material exhibits.

As a material;  FEP is biologically, chemically, electrically and immunologically inert.  FEP is highly permeable to CO2 and O2 , yet exhibits low, virtually zero permeability to water and water vapor.  FEP has a very wide temperature range from liquid nitrogen to autoclave sterilization temperatures.  One of the key elements of the material is that nothing sticks to it and there are no extractables or leachables which make it useful in critical water sampling and air sampling as well as biological applications.

Inert Properties

FEP does not absorb or bind any known chemical or biological. It contains no plasticizers, leachables nor any extractables. Simply put, cell fragments and biological "things" do not stick to the bag and nothing from the bag adversely affects the the cells.

Biologically

The bag does not contribute to or detract from biological processes.

Chemically

Nonreactive, noncatalytic and insoluble.

Electrically

Is an electrical insulator.

Optically

Optically transparent, even to U.V. light.

Immunologically

Is non-antigenic to growing cells.

Any Size

We can produce bags of almost any shape, configuration and size up to 48 x 58 cm (19 x 23 inches).

 

Any Ports

 
 
 

Ports can be designed into the bags in almost any number, size or length.  This truly allows you to have the configurations and specifications you need.  All we need are your requirements.

 
 

Any Connectors

 
 
 

We can include in your design numerous connectors which are open ended, with any clamp, valves, check valves and filters.  Our customization allows you to truly have a closed system which reduces the opportunity for contamination yet allows for manipulation, incubation, observation, storage, and disposal in few easy to follow steps.

 
 

Any Quantity

 
 
 

We can produce one or one million custom bags.  It all depends on your needs
