How to Qualify Single-Use Bags – Extractables, Leachables & Certification

Single-Use Bags are critical in modern bioprocessing – used for media storage, mixing, freezing, and transport.
But not all bags are created equal. To ensure reliability and regulatory compliance, qualification is essential.

This includes extractables & leachables (E&L) testing, certification levels, and full documentation.

At SeamlessBio, we deliver bags that meet these requirements – so your QA teams can trust every batch.

Why Qualification Matters

  • Regulatory compliance – meeting FDA, EMA and pharmacopeia standards
  • Product safety – preventing contamination or unexpected interactions
  • Reproducibility – ensuring consistent results across batches and sites
  • Risk mitigation – avoiding delays and costly failures in scale-up

Qualification is not just a box to tick – it’s the foundation of reliable bioprocessing.

Extractables & Leachables (E&L) Testing

🔬 What are Extractables?

Compounds that may be released from bag materials under extreme conditions (heat, solvents, stress).

🔬 What are Leachables?

Compounds that actually migrate into your media or product under real process conditions.

🧪 Why E&L Testing Matters

  • Ensures bag material compatibility
  • Prevents interference with cell growth, antibody production, or vaccine stability
  • Provides data for regulatory filings

At SeamlessBio, our single-use bags are tested according to ASTM and USP <665>/<1665> standards – providing full E&L profiles for QA and regulatory teams.

Certification Levels for Single-Use Bags

To simplify qualification, many suppliers define certification levels:

  • Gold Level – Full E&L package, validated sterility & endotoxin, detailed documentation
  • Silver Level – Core documentation (COA, COO, MSDS) + sterility tests
  • Bronze Level – Standard product documentation, suitable for less critical processes

At SeamlessBio, we adapt to your needs:
👉 From basic R&D supply to fully certified bags for GMP production.
