Single-use Manifold Design Services
Single-use, ultimate process optimization
Single-use manifolds offer flexible designs that can take the process of filling multiple single-use bags to the next level – filling them all at once.
Easy as 1-2-3
Custom-built manifold prototypes can be integrated into your process in as little as 6 weeks. Our team streamlines the process and makes it as easy as 1-2-3.
Step 1: Define Process & Parameters
- Cryopreservation
- Reagents, buffers, and process liquids
- Manual or automated process
Step 2: Design Fluid Path
- Bags, tubing, and connections
- Equipment integration (i.e. sensors)
Step 3: Build & Ship
- Double-bagged and labeled
Next-level optimization
Manifolds optimize biomanufacturing processes, reducing time, space, and resources while increasing flexibility, product quality, and scalability.
Adapted to your facility needs and process parameters, manifolds represent a simple solution when transitioning from bench to commercial scale, and can be used in multiple unit operations with manual or automated filling. Flexible designs enable choice of preferred number or type of single-use bags/film technology, standard tubing, standard connectors, and equipment integration.

Safeguard Products with Overmolds
For an even more efficient closed-system solution, integrate overmolds into your single-use manifold. These sterile systems minimize the need for manual assembly and reduce:
- Leaking
- Cell shearing
- Cross contamination
With internal molding capabilities, Charter can design overmold connections using in-house tooling to include:
- Any Charter Medical biocontainer
- Any number of T-connections per manifold
- Platinum-cured silicone tubing (0.125″ ID x 0.25″ OD)
