ExoFlex
Single-use bags and systems designed, manufactured and assembled in Argentina
ExoFlex is Exova's line of single-use bags and systems for handling liquids in pharmaceutical and biotech processes: vaccines, injectable drugs, cell culture media, buffers and process solutions. They are designed, manufactured and assembled in Argentina, in an ISO 7 cleanroom.
All bags use the same five-layer film, with an ultra-low-density polyethylene (ULDPE) contact layer and an EVOH gas barrier. They ship with a lot number, a quality certificate and integrity tested at the plant, and they meet the USP <88> criteria for Class VI plastics. They differ in volume, number of ports and tubing diameter.
A single-use system needs no cleaning or steam sterilization between batches (CIP/SIP): each batch uses a new bag, and setting up or replacing the system takes hours. Each system is configured with the volume, ports, tubing and connectors the process calls for.
Which one to choose?
Closed bags from 50 mL to 50 L for buffers, culture media or process solutions
A single-use system with the volume, ports and tubing the process calls for
Transferring to or from the bag with a peristaltic pump

AISI 304 stainless steel
AgileReact
AISI 304 stainless steel containers for 3D single-use bags
AgileReact is the line of rigid AISI 304 stainless steel containers that hold 3D single-use bags from 50 to 2,000 liters, for handling and transferring fluids in biopharmaceutical processes under GMP. They are manufactured at our stainless steel fabrication plant in Argentina.
All models share AISI 304 construction and front slots for watching the bag fill; the door has a safety latch that keeps it from opening if the bag inflates. They differ in capacity and mobility: from 50 to 1,000 L they have heavy-duty casters and can be stacked on one another; the 2,000 L model is a fixed installation.
Bottom tray, casters, door and top lid are selected in each container's code.
Which one to choose?
Moving the bag within the laboratory or plant
A fixed high-volume station integrated into the production line
Optimizing storage space with stackable containers

Pharmaceutical-grade polypropylene, polysulfone, and silicone
AgileConnect
Connectors and fittings for assembling and connecting single-use systems
AgileConnect is Exova's line of connectors and fittings for assembling, connecting, and operating single-use systems in pharmaceutical and biotech processes: tubing branches and reducers, clamp joints, aseptic connections, distribution manifolds, and accessories for closing off and securing the lines.
The plastic parts in contact with the fluid are made of pharmaceutical-grade materials—polypropylene, polysulfone, polycarbonate, and silicone—compliant with USP <88> Class VI, with smooth surfaces that reduce fluid retention. They are sterilized by gamma irradiation at 25 to 45 kGy and, depending on the part, also in an autoclave at 121 °C.
The connectors are double-bagged for entry into an ISO 7 cleanroom and sold in packs of 10.
Which one to choose?
Branching a line, splitting or combining flows, or joining tubing of different diameters
Going from a clamp connection to tubing, or closing an unused clamp port
Connecting and disconnecting sterile lines without compromising system integrity
Distributing one port to several lines or taking simultaneous samples
Taking samples with a syringe or connecting Luer devices
Closing off tubing without disconnecting it, pinching it off permanently, or securing lines
Hose barb fittings
AgileConnect Y, X and Reducer Connectors
Y and X connectors and straight reducers to branch, join, and adapt tubing lines
Connector, clamp, gasket and end cap
AgileConnect Clamp Set
Hose barb connector, clamp, gasket, and end cap for single-use clamp joints
Aseptic polysulfone couplings
AgileConnect Quick Connectors
Connecting and disconnecting sterile lines with a quarter-turn closure
Manifolds with 1 to 5 ways
AgileConnect Disposable Manifolds
Distribution from a single port to several lines, with one on/off valve per way
Luer Lock and sampling
AgileConnect Luer and Syringe Connectors
Female Luer and syringe connectors for connecting devices and taking samples
Pinch clamps, sleeve and ties
AgileConnect Closure and Fastening
Pinch clamps, metal sleeve, and nylon cable ties to close off and secure tubing lines
