The safest transport solution for all available single-use bioprocess containers. Protect your bioprocess container and reduce product loss towards 0%. RoSS®: Robust Storage & Shipping
The safest transport solution for all available single-use bioprocess containers. Protect your bioprocess container and reduce product loss towards 0%. RoSS®: Robust Storage & Shipping
RoSS® stands for Robust Storage and Shipping. Our protective shell system is adapted from the oyster and has numerous advantages.
Due to a smart combination of materials, the single-use biocontainer has a 100% protective shell. The shells protect bags of any size and from any manufacturer. As closed tamper-evident system RoSS is stackable to increase storage density.
For particularly small volumes, such as in cell and gene therapy, RoSS.KSET is the perfect option.
RoSS® shells are available for all established single-use bag manufacturers and filling volumes. Single-use bag vendor-agnostic RoSS® shells fosters flexibility and 100% compatibility – no system change required.
RoSS® shells can be stacked one over another leading to huge savings in cold storage rooms and shipping costs and is easy to handle. RoSS® maximizes your storage density and minimizes your worries of requiring storage space.
The frames of the RoSS® unit are made of heavy duty plastic that withstands even the lowest temperatures and makes up the static frame of RoSS®. Apart from the guide rails for the stainless steel top and bottom, the frame contains ergonomically shaped grip plates for safe and intuitive handling.
The RoSS® top and bottom are made of high quality stainless steel with the following three advantages:

What makes RoSS so special? How is the protection and immobilization of the bag secured? See some of many advantages of the protective shell, explained by Johannes Kirchmair, co-innovator of the RoSS shell system.
Liquid bulk drug substance is of utmost value after manufacturing from Biopharma industries. The single-use bag independent platform RoSS helps to avoid product loss through breakages through robust composition and makes it possible to introduce your flexible end-to-end solution in drug substance logistics. Bag independent. Robust. Scalable. Immobilized Bag.

Yes, sample bags for various sizes, from small to several 100 ml, can easily be placed in RoSS®. This provides tamper-evident protection for the sample bag (or ID).
Upon request, RoSS® Systems are available for sample bags exclusively.
Yes, any partial filling volume is possible with the patented RoSS® technology. The most recent data sheet with all RoSS® versions and details regarding partial filling is available in the download area or via our contact form.
RoSS® is basically compatible with all standard freezing technologies, from static (lab) freezers to blast freezers and plate-based freeze-thaw units. For a scalable process and maximum product quality, we recommend the latter. Read more about Freeze-Thaw.
In any. In case of uncertainties, please contact Single Use Support GmbH.
There is a variety of options to seal RoSS® tamper-evidently (labels, cable ties, …) in order to make any unwanted opening of RoSS® evident.
Generally, RoSS® is very robust and thus reusable – however, in order to guarantee the highest possible protection, we advise against it.
Yes. You can put a single-use bioprocess container with long tubing and sterile connectors into our RoSS® shells. In this video we will explain how easy this works.
Yes, RoSS® is suitable for temperatures up to -200°C (-328°F).
We developed a system called Cryo Control Unit (CCU) which is an insolation material styro foam piece that covers the shoulders of the single-use bioprocess container and the shell. CCU is meant for enabling the use of RoSS® shells in standard lab freezers or in blast freezers.
Yes, both options are possible. Either fill the bag and place it in the RoSS® System or place the empty bag in the system and fill it with a fully automated filling system, compact and with little air. Learn more about RoSS.FILL.
