Bag Film Technology & Quality

The KrosFlo® EZ-Bag products are based on a core technology that produces a state-of-the-art synthetic film to a meet the demands of the bioprocessing industry. This film used to make KrosFlo brand bags is a multilayer laminate with excellent gas barrier characteristics; offers great strength and durability, yet is pliable and easy to handle. The robustness withstands rigorous use as well as irradiation. The following quality tests are performed during the manufacturing and assembly of the KrosFlo brand bags.

In-Process Quality Testing

  • 100% IPC Leak Tests
  • 100% IPC Seal Strength Tests of the Film
  • 100% IPC Seal Strength Tests of the Ports and Mounted Components
  • 100% Visual Control of Finished Products
  • Process Parameter Exposure Criteria (temperature, pressure & time)


Film Validation & Biocompatibility Tests

All synthetic film products are manufactured in full compliance to cGMP guidelines in a Class 10,000 cleanroom. The manufacturing facility meets all requirements for FDA & EMEA, ISO 14644-1, Class 4 Certification. The film and the KrosFlo brand bags have passed an extensive validation study. The complete, comprehensive regulatory and validation file is available upon request.
