BEA Technologies focuses on applying nanofibers to filtration

Milan, Italy: – Filtration specialist BEA Technologies has developed designs for a new series of filtration solutions incorporating “Nanofibers”.

This is part of an overall commitment to offer a wider range of solutions to improve management of filtration in  manufacturing of drugs and to develop a new generation of separation “single use filter devices”  to accelerate processing of drugs for large patient groups.

Seeking new collaborative models

Roberto Bea, President and CEO of BEA Technologies S.p.A., writes:

“Life science organizations are breaking out of the traditional pharma models to operate in a new, customer global ecosystem. This industry’s challenge requires more creativity than usual and closer cooperation between customers and suppliers to design and manufacture new equipment, new tools and more efficient and cost-effective solutions.”

“BEA Technologies is committed to act as a consulting supplier to enables clients of life science to leverage BEA experience in filtration and separation to obtain the best cost-effective clarification of products to achieve the safety and quality standards prescribed for the pharma industry. The consistent experience of BEA Technologies provides a value and the services to support coordination between supplier and customer’s team members to identify the optimal solutions,” says Mr. Bea.

Nanotechnology opportunities

Mr. Bea says that nanotechnology offers a wealth of new opportunities in many different areas, as filtration across a wide range of industries, including pharmaceuticals, fine chemicals, food, and beverage.

BEA Technologies is already a European leader in filtration using nanofibers, offering customized solutions for all applications and constantly creating new ones, such as new filter equipment for the next-generation of pharmaceuticals.

Mr. Bea declared. “We plan to continue working with manufacturers of biologically sourced drugs and have ongoing trials with them using our filtration devices.”

High sterility pioneer

BEA’s Microfiltration Division serves the pharmaceutical, biotechnological, food and fine chemicals industries. Critical microfiltration products are processed in cleanroom environments and in accordance with GMP guidelines to ensure high quality and cleanliness for biological applications. BEA was one of the first Italian companies to embrace cleanroom filter production from 1981 with cleanroom capacity and capabilities successively expanded over almost 40 years.

Since 2017, BEA’s primary focus has been on developing products based on nanotechnology to further enhance filter performance and efficacy.

“We now offer specific filter products incorporating nanofibers for pharmaceutical, food and biotechnology applications. This last field requires even greater focus on research and development and technological innovation,”” says Mr. Bea.

“In Europe, we continue to be a market leader in nano-filtration products and aim to become a more global leader in this field. We can adapt many of our products to the customer’s specific needs to provide often a taylor-made solution,” concludes Mr. Bea.
