This new multiple-use product transfer bag can reduce risk, cost and time in environmental monitoring (EM) processes during continuous manufacturing of sterile medicinal products. Offered as a tailored solution, customers can specify the media, formulation and plate type contained within Redipor BetaBags, depending on their sterile workflow needs. The new transfer bags are fully validated and compatible with 190mm Getinge Alpha Ports used in isolators and RABS, enabling contamination-free transfer of the Redipor plated media to maintain rapid production and significantly reduce risk. As the pharmacopoeia compliant media is gamma-irradiated within Redipor BetaBags, this eliminates the time-consuming decontamination stage required during the standard transfer process of plated media into a sterile workspace for EM. Also streamlining processes, the bags can be attached to a Getinge Alpha Port up to four times without compromising integrity. Sleeves of plates can be stored in the bag and introduced as required, enabling continuous EM, freeing up isolator workspace, and minimising waste of plates and use of single-use plastic packaging.

Product innovations, such as our Redipor BetaBag range, will be needed to keep pace with these changing needs and give our customers a competitive advantage. This new product also supports sustainability initiatives as it reduces need for single-use plastic, use of harmful VHP, and unused plate wastage.” The Company has created a [short video to demonstrate](https://share.vidyard.com/watch/2F9AgwVDsZU4mTZVix9ZKR?) how the Redipor BetaBag truly simplifies customers' workflows giving processes greater adaptability, while ensuring maximum safety of products manufactured, and ultimately patients. Cherwell provides a comprehensive range of Redipor prepared media options, with room temperature stability and long shelf-life, specifically designed for EM in controlled environments. The new Redipor BetaBag, which is available with a GS1-compliant data matrix barcode, is a versatile addition to this well-established range, ensuring that the highest levels of production and patient safety is achieved.   Comments ## Read other blog articles [ *By Gill Power* #### Specialist products for boosting microbial EM protocol reliability spotlighted by AnalytiChem UK at Pharmig 2025 ](https://www.cherwell-labs.co.uk/cherwell-labs-post/analytichem-uk-highlight-specialist-em-products-pharmig-2025-annual-conference) [ *By Gill Power* #### New AnalytiChem UK appointment strengthens customer focus and growth strategy ](https://www.cherwell-labs.co.uk/cherwell-labs-post/new-analytichem-uk-appointment-strengthens-customer-focus-and-growth-strategy) [ *By Gill Power* #### Cherwell announces Andy Whittard’s retirement and names Stuart Hall as new Managing Director ](https://www.cherwell-labs.co.uk/cherwell-labs-post/cherwell-announces-andy-whittards-retirement-stuart-hall-named-new-managing-director) ### Sign Up for our Blog We promise that we won't SPAM you. #### What's next #### Recent news [![Specialist products for boosting microbial EM protocol reliability spotlighted by AnalytiChem UK at Pharmig 2025](https://www.cherwell-labs.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/Redipor%20TwistLock%20Contact%20Plates%20with%20GS1%20DataMatrix%20Codes.png?width=50&height=50&name=Redipor%20TwistLock%20Contact%20Plates%20with%20GS1%20DataMatrix%20Codes.png) **Specialist products for boosting microbial EM protocol reliability spotlighted by AnalytiChem UK at Pharmig 2025** 10 November 2025 ](https://www.cherwell-labs.co.uk/cherwell-labs-post/analytichem-uk-highlight-specialist-em-products-pharmig-2025-annual-conference) [![New AnalytiChem UK appointment strengthens customer focus and growth strategy](https://www.cherwell-labs.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/Tom%20Pickford%20AnalytiChem%20UK%20Business%20Development%20Manager%20Midlands.jpg?width=50&height=50&name=Tom%20Pickford%20AnalytiChem%20UK%20Business%20Development%20Manager%20Midlands.jpg) **New AnalytiChem UK appointment strengthens customer focus and growth strategy** 20 October 2025 ](https://www.cherwell-labs.co.uk/cherwell-labs-post/new-analytichem-uk-appointment-strengthens-customer-focus-and-growth-strategy) #### Subscribe Receive the latest articles as they are published. #### Contact us Registered Office 7 & 8 Launton Business Centre, Murdock Road, Bicester, OX26 4XB **Phone** Tel: +44 (0) 1869 355 500 **Email** [sales.uk@analytichem.com](mailto:sales.uk@analytichem.com)    ![analytichem_Logo+claim_RGB](https://www.cherwell-labs.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/analytichem_Logo+claim_RGB.png?width=2000&height=431&name=analytichem_Logo+claim_RGB.png "analytichem_Logo+claim_RGB") ![BSI-ISO-9001-Certified-50px](https://www.cherwell-labs.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/BSI-ISO-9001-Certified-50px.png?width=130&height=77&name=BSI-ISO-9001-Certified-50px.png "BSI-ISO-9001-Certified-50px") AnalytiChem UK ©2025 (Formerly Cherwell) Reg. in England No: 01159518 VAT Reg.
