BioVyon polymer materials are aimed at pharmaceutical and biotech companies

Porvair Filtration Group in the UK has developed a highly purified porous polymeric material called BioVyon to complement contract manufacturing for the life science market. Chemically modified using novel technologies, the materials are aimed at pharmaceutical, biotech, healthcare and analytical companies for filtration, separation, purification, diffusion and fluid transfer applications.

BioVyon materials are primarily made from polyethylene or polypropylene sintered porous plastic, made by proprietary cGMP processes with low extractable and particle shedding levels. Available in pore sizes from 5 to 100 micron (mean flow pore) the materials are available in sheet, roll, cut shapes or moulded and, depending on the particular specification, have regulatory approvals that meet FDA, WDA and USP requirements.

Porvair Filtration Group has opened a Class 100000 (ISO Class 8) cleanroom at its Wrexham, UK site to produce and package regulatory controlled materials and assembled products in a clean environment.

An ISO 9001-2000 quality assurance programme, cGMP practices and cleanroom environment to ensure products meet the stringent requirements of the life science industries, underpins the manufacture of these specialist high performance products.
