Pall Corporation and Artesyn Biosolutions Announce Collaboration Agreement to Industrialize Single-Use Technology

PORT WASHINGTON, N.Y.April 16, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — Pall Corporation, a global leader in filtration, separation and purification, announced a strategic collaboration between its Biotech business unit and Artesyn Biosolutions, a leading innovator in single-use components and fluid management technologies. The agreement will encompass a co-development partnership, delivering complete solutions from clinical to commercial-scale for single-use automated bioprocessing systems.
