Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Solutions launches WMArchitectTM single-use solutions to optimise biopharmaceutical fluid management
- The new range of WMArchitect single-use solutions is designed to streamline the process, safeguard products, and reduce regulatory burden for biopharmaceutical companies
- With an open architecture approach, WMArchitect offers both standard, ready-to-use single-use assemblies as well as customised designs
- WMArchitect offers complete confidence in product quality with WMFTS as a trusted and skilled extension of a company’s quality system
Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Solutions (WMFTS) has launched WMArchitectTM single-use solutions to offer a wide range of biopharmaceutical fluid management innovations from a single, secure supplier.
The flexible, single-use solutions range has been developed by building on years of experience including the predecessor brands of puresu® and asepticsu®, and is designed to streamline a biopharmaceutical company’s process, safeguard its product and reduce its regulatory burden.
WMFTS, a manufacturer of peristaltic pumps and associated fluid path technologies, is now offering customised designs from an extensive component library to meet a customer’s specifications, as well as a selection of standard, ready-to-use single-use assemblies.
WMArchitect is a new end-to-end, single-use fluid path management solution consisting of:
Customised designs – single-use assemblies are custom-designed to meet a company’s specific requirements. The open architecture model allows full flexibility and compatibility with existing fluid-contact materials used in a company’s bioprocess.
Single-use fluid transfer assemblies are ready-to-use, pre-designed assemblies, all with lot traceable tubing and components, which optimise fluid transfer between equipment and process steps. They can be selected from a menu of validated components.
Fill/finish single-use assemblies that safeguard therapeutic products during the filling process with a wide range of sterility-assured assembly configurations. Representative assemblies are routinely tested for bioburden, particulates and endotoxin.
Validation testing specialists from WMFTS support users of WMArchitect with bioprocessing expertise and tailored validation packages to help reduce a company’s regulatory burden.
As a trusted partner and a highly skilled extension of a biopharmaceutical company’s quality system, WMFTS works with its customers to ensure complete confidence in product quality and sterility assurance.
Nicole Hunter, Head of Global WMArchitect, said: “By listening to the evolving needs of our biopharmaceutical customers, we have created WMArchitect to provide an expert solution that supports them in mitigating their regulatory and supply chain risks.
“WMFTS understands that often, off-the-shelf products are merely a starting point. We customise our standard products to provide a complete and tested solution from a single supplier that is tailored to meet a company’s specific requirements.
“WMArchitect is ideal for high purity biopharmaceutical process development, clinical trials and small to large scale production batches.
“We recognise that the most critical component for maximising performance is where the tubing meets the pump. Our assembly solutions are designed synergistically with our best-in-class Watson-Marlow peristaltic pump technologies and filling solutions. With quality built-in, our complete solutions ensure reliable, repeatable performance for your most sensitive processes.”
All WMArchitect single-use solutions are manufactured, pre-assembled and packaged at WMFTS’ global network of state-of-the-art Class 7 cleanrooms. The WMFTS global supply network provides uninterrupted supply security and robust lead times. By partnering with WMArchitect, biopharmaceutical companies can be confident that supply will keep pace as their business grows.
To ensure our single-use technology comes ready to use, and meets the requirements set by current good manufacturing practice (cGMP) guidelines, lot traceability of each component can be made available as part of our detailed documentation.
For an end-to-end fluid management solution from a single supplier, WMArchitect can be used in combination with best-in-class BioPure components, Watson-Marlow and Flexicon peristaltic pump technologies and filling solutions.
A dedicated WMArchitect business unit and additional resources allow for rapid turn-around from a supplier that will keep pace as their customers business grows.

About us
Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Group (WMFTG) peristaltic tube and hose pumps meet requirements including: value for money; low cost of ownership; reliability and ease of maintenance to the food and beverage, chemical, pharmaceutical, mining and many other industries.
We demonstrate how pumps deliver significant process efficiencies over the lifetime of the equipment. Whether performing flavouring addition in food processing, chemical metering in water treatment or mineral recovery, we have a solution which can cut pump downtime and reduce costs through higher accuracy metering and transfer. WMFTG has dedicated application engineers available to help customers make the right pump and tubing choice from a range providing microlitres per minute to 80 cubic metres per hour flow rates.
The only part of the pump to come into contact with the product is the tube or hose. This means there are no seals or valves that can wear or fail. Replacing the tube or hose can be performed quickly and safely. Peristaltic pump benefits include:
Total fluid containment with no seals No ancillaries Handle viscous and abrasive slurries and sludge Self-priming capability Dry running without damage to the pump In addition to their range of positive displacement pumps, Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Group has added PTFE-lined chemical and industrial hoses to their range. Aflex hoses are reinforced to withstand the most severe conditions and use.
Where we supply to
Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, South America, North America
Industries we supply to
Automation, Chemicals, Consultants, Components Electronics, Energy and Power, Food and Beverage, Glass Ceramics Cement, Metals and Minerals, OEM, Paper and Pulp, Pharmaceutical Cosmetics Toiletries, Plastics and Rubber, Recycling, Textiles, Tobacco, Water and Wastewater
