Newmix(TM) Single-Use Mixing Technology Saves Time and Reduces Risk and Cost New product sets standard for mixing powders, liquids at varied temperatures and volumes MINNEAPOLIS, April 11 /PRNewswire/ -- ATMI Packaging, a leading global supplier of single-use flexible film-based packaging, introduces Newmix(TM) Single-use Bioprocess Solutions, a new product to be unveiled at INTERPHEX (booth #2367). Newmix has been designed and developed especially for the bio- pharmaceutical industry to reduce risk of cross-contamination and lower total cost of ownership. Manufactured to meet the rigorous bio-pharmaceutical cleanliness certification standards, Newmix, with its ground-breaking technology is the only product available today with flexible film-based mixing bags that allow for the optimum mixing of powder-to-powder, powder-to-liquid and liquid-to-liquid ingredients. Newmix integrates the mixing and storing of those critical active ingredients at varied temperatures and volumes (from less than 1 to 200 liters) through a non-invasive, closed-end engineered design. ATMI Packaging is known for its commitment to partner with customers in the development of engineered solutions that assist in the handling of critical active ingredients, both liquids and powders. "As single-use mixing and storing systems gain prominence in the bio-pharmaceutical industry, Newmix offers the only technology capable of blending high concentrations of powders and liquids at varied temperatures and volumes in a controlled environment while meeting the stringent requirements of the industry," said Mario Philips, Biopharma Business Unit Manager. Newmix allows users to minimize their investment through single-use technology, reduce waste treatment costs of cleaning agents by eliminating cleaning and sterilization between batches, and cut validation costs. Newmix also decreases the risk of potential cross-contamination while protecting the environment and the operator from potentially toxic substances. Currently, ATMI Packaging offers two Newmix systems: X-Mix and C-Mix. -- The Newmix X-Mix System is for smaller volumes (up to 10 liters/kilograms). Homogeneity is obtained by rotating a single-use hourglass-shaped bag around its center point, which results in optimum mixing of powder-to-powder, liquid-to-powder and liquid-to-liquid critical ingredients. -- The Newmix C-Mix System is best used for larger volumes up to 200 liters. Here, homogeneity is obtained by using a single-use, drum- shaped bag that incorporates an enclosed and isolated stir- rod/impeller. Customers have the ability to mix high proportions of powder into liquid with the C-Mix system. ATMI Packaging's knowledge of advanced materials is one of the company's core strengths. Its proprietary films are manufactured in its facilities and meet approval standards for each application. Every step of the film's development, as well as package assembly, is done in a controlled environment under ISO Class 5 cleanroom conditions.
