Single-use systems are becoming increasingly popular in bioprocessing, due to their potential to improve productivity, quality, and safety. Nonetheless, there is also concern about Single-Use Products environmental impact. These concerns, however, have appeared to be rationalized in comparison to the benefits they provide for not only bioprocessing industry but also their impact on the environment Some of the potential sustainability benefits of using single-use systems in bioprocessing: Reduced water and energy consumption: Single-use systems do not require cleaning and sterilization, which can be a major source of water and energy consumption in traditional bioprocessing. Also, production of single...

The best solution to avoid inhaling potentially harmful fumes is clearly to keep them fully contained. How is this achieved when drainage and changing out the container is required? This was the challenge presented to Foxx Life Sciences during some laboratory process observation research studies. Seeing these issues first hand, Foxx worked with laboratory workers to create the most economic and user-friendly, closed-loop product on the market, where vapors are contained in a receptacle with the proper chemical compatibility, ventilation apparatus and capping.
