Thermo Fisher Scientific broadens online design and purchase capabilities
for bioproduction products
The Thermo
Scientific NUNC & NALGENE Online Custom Tubing Set Configurator will be on
show at Interphex 2008
|
PHILADELPHIA, PA (March 26th) - Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.,
the world leader in serving science, will be demonstrating at Interphex 2008, an
online tool to enable scientists and engineers to design their own integrated
fluid transfer and bioprocess systems using NALGENE® and NUNC™ brand products
for handling high value products. The Online Custom Tubing Set Configurator,
which can be viewed at www.nnibioproduction.com/configurator, was created to
meet increasing customer demand for the deployment of single-use systems in
upstream and downstream biopharmaceutical production applications.
The easy-to-use browser interface enables customers to select fluid handling
products, assemble them in a virtual system, obtain immediate price quotes and
place orders. A two-dimensional CAD drawing is generated by the configurator to
verify the design and assure its functionality. “We developed this program to
quickly and more accurately generate custom tubing and containment sets, so that
our customers could accommodate their own speed-to-market requirements,” says
Ken Falkowitz, director of marketing for Bioproduction and OEM Products. “Our
ability to be a single source for these products, and to combine NALGENE
capabilities with the NUNC Portfolio of cell culture products, bridges a
significant gap in supplying fluid handling products to the biopharmaceutical
manufacturing industry.”
The Online Configurator offers over 125 standard components to choose from.
These include tubing, connectors, fittings, clamps, stoppers and vent filters.
All components have been selected for use in bioproduction applications. Users
create their own personal design library where they can manage and order their
designs. The configurator uses a rules-based engine – or a “no fail” approach –
to assure that even highly complex designs can be manufactured and delivered in
a timely manner.
