Merck launches portfolio for customised single-use assemblies

Merck has launched the Mobius MyWay portfolio, a programme that offers a choice of off-the-shelf and configured-to-order assemblies as well as fully customisable configurations.

Assemblies available through this portfolio are used for fluid management across upstream and downstream processes, from routine buffer and media prep, to critical premium aseptic process and final drug manufacturing. There are three different categories that customers can use to create assemblies, each offering a different level of configuration flexibility. These include, Mobius Stock — offering on-demand solutions ready to ship in 24 hours, Mobius Select — balances speed and configurability of custom assemblies from a component library with a six-week lead time, and Mobius Choice — customised solutions from the expansive component library, shipped in standard lead times.

“We have the industry’s only comprehensive single-use solution, giving our customers three different ways to create customisable assemblies,” said Andrew Bulpin, head of process solutions strategic marketing & innovation at the life sciences business sector of Merck. “This is critical to customers from contract manufacturing organisations to big pharma, whose biggest challenge is getting custom assemblies with fast, reliable lead times for quicker turnarounds and more rapid biomanufacturing.”
