Core offering

CELLON manufactures and supplies single-use bioprocessing components and integrated systems for the vaccine production and biopharmaceutical industries. Under its SaniSure operating brand, the company delivers proprietary solutions for mixing, filling, sampling, cell culture, sterile liquid transfer, and custom fluid management, along with an extensive validated component library (bottles, bags, tubing, closures, fittings, clamps, needles).

Product overview

SaniSure offers a comprehensive single-use bioprocessing platform designed for complex flow paths and closed system designs. The portfolio centers on five core innovative solutions: Mixed4Sure™ for small to medium volume mixing, Fill4Sure™ for drug product filling, One2Fill™ for simultaneous bulk filling, One2Sample® for sampling applications, and RC-40™ for automated adherent cell culture. These are complemented by a validated library of engineered components including PharmaTainer™ bottle solutions, Cap2V8® closure systems, Flex4Sure™ bag systems (2D and 3D), tubing lines (CellGyn® TPE, PharmaClear®, Pharma-Line™), clamps, fittings, aSURE™ instrument tees, filling needles, and Gamma Stable Stir Bars. The platform enables end-to-end single-use capabilities from fluid management and mixing through to final fill-finish operations for vaccines, biopharmaceuticals, mRNA, gene therapies, and GLP-1 manufacturing.
