  7. White Paper: Closed System Technology Drives The Trend Toward Safer, More Cost-Efficient Chemical Dispensing 12/23/2007

    In dozens of industries and in millions of applications around the world, dangerous chemicals are transferred from their original shipping containers into smaller jugs or buckets or applied to other end-use processes. Historically, the predominant dispensing method in many of these applications has been through an open system where the liquid is poured out of the container.

  8. A New Class Of Medical Products: Smart Connections With RFID Ensure Patient Safety 10/19/2007

    Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology is especially useful to medical device manufacturers, who must ensure the safety of their products and production processes to protect patients. The implementation of RFID delivers benefits to help these organizations avoid harmful and expensive mistakes, reduce liability, and improve process management. Submitted by Colder Products Company

  9. Connection Technology Advances Closed System Processing

    The global demand for new biologics and vaccines, combined with the growing emergence of biosimiliars, is challenging drugmakers to re-evaluate their processes and seek ways to make them more flexible, reliable, and cost-effective. By John Boehm, Colder Products Company

  10. Genderless Single-Use Connectors Make For Easier Systems Design, Flexible Process Flow

    Colder’s John Boehm tells Pharmaceutical Online’s Lori Clapper about the evolutions of single-use technologies and the trend towards downstream processes.  He discusses how, in the growing demand and adoption of single-use technologies, the unit operations are incorporating more single-use systems whether its bag systems and tubing assemblies. However, as they get larger and larger, it is difficult to sterilize those in one large piece. So they are typically broken down into individual units. The key to having a completely single-use system, or even a hybrid system, is you have got to bring those systems together. Colder has responded to this challenge by creating the AseptiQuik G connector (G for “genderless”) to create process flexibility for the end user.
