The Manufacturability Gap

The science is ready.
The equipment isn't.

New therapies are failing in manufacturing — not in the lab. Fragile modalities. Viscous formulations. Unstable TMP. Scale-up failure. Alphinity designs the fluid handling systems that solve these problems at the source.

Enabling Abundance in Medicine™ — precision fluid handling for the therapies that matter most

Process-First Engineering

Your process.
Our starting point.

Every piece of Alphinity equipment is designed around a specific process challenge. Four territories where conventional fluid handling consistently fails — and where our technology makes the difference.

01

Fragile Modalities

Viral vectors, cell therapies, exosomes, LNPs. Standard processing loses 20–40% of AAV titer to mechanical damage. Our single-use diaphragm pump eliminates the root cause — positive displacement with no product contact with moving parts.

02

Viscous Formulations

High-concentration mAbs, dense biologics, viscous buffers, and intensified processes. Conventional pumping technologies cannot maintain reliable flow above ~500 cP. Our diaphragm pump handles up to 3,000 cP with flow rate independent of viscosity and backpressure.

03

Process Control

Unstable transmembrane pressure leads to membrane fouling, inconsistent flux, and failed batches. Near-pulseless diaphragm pumping combined with our electric diaphragm valve delivers the precision-controlled flow that sensitive processes demand.

04

Scale-Up Failure

Processes that work at bench scale fail in manufacturing because the mechanical conditions change with scale. Alphinity's platform maintains identical flow behavior from 30 mL screening to 10 L clinical batches — no process redesign.

Solutions by modality

Equipment that matches the modality.

The same TFF skid that works for monoclonal antibodies will tear apart a viral vector. Alphinity equipment is engineered around the modality being made, not the modality biopharma made twenty years ago.

Process Expertise

We know why
processes fail.

Most bioprocess problems are blamed on chemistry — buffer formulation, cell line, upstream conditions. In our experience, the failure is often mechanical. The physics of how fluid is moved matters as much as what's in it.

Understanding the failure modes is how we design equipment that doesn't cause them.

Explore our thinking on flow control

Why do legacy pumps damage biologics?

Most bioprocess pumping technology was engineered for water and chemical transfer — not sensitive biologics. The mechanical principles that make them work (compression, rotor contact, pulsation) are fundamentally incompatible with fragile proteins and viral particles. The damage is cumulative, often invisible, and inherent to the design — not a flaw that can be tuned away.

What is cavitation — and why does it matter?

When a pump creates negative pressure at its inlet, dissolved gases form bubbles that collapse violently — generating forces that destroy proteins and viral particles at the molecular level.

Why does my process fail at scale?

Because the mechanical conditions change. Different pump, different flow profile, different pressure dynamics. Physical process continuity matters as much as the recipe.

Bespoke Systems

Built around your process.
Not the other way around.

Standard systems force your process to adapt to the equipment. We start with your process constraints — flow behavior, pressure sensitivity, viscosity, scale — and engineer a system that fits. PIXER® pumps, VannX™ valves, and ConSynSys™ automation as building blocks.
