Biocompatible means that our materials do not release any substances that could interfere with biological processes. The plastics do not react with cell cultures, fermentation broths, or other bioactive media, thereby ensuring contamination-free process conditions.
Cleanroom-compliant exhaust air systems for biotechnological processes
Low-particle, biocompatible ventilation solutions for the highest purity requirements
In biotechnology, freedom from contamination and cleanroom suitability are critical to process success. Beck components offer extremely smooth, seamless surfaces that minimize particle deposition and microbial growth. From fermentation plants to cell culture laboratories and GMP production areas: Our biocompatible plastic systems remain inert, are CIP/WIP-compatible, and meet the stringent requirements of modern biotech facilities.

Biocompatible, inert plastics
Unlike the chemical industry, biotechnology focuses less on highly aggressive media and more on surfaces that are completely free of contamination and do not release any particles or ions—this is precisely where Beck-PP systems offer high material purity. Our materials do not react with biological processes and do not release any substances that could interfere with cell cultures or fermentation.
Smooth inner surfaces for low particle emission
In cleanroom and GMP environments, particle contamination is the critical factor; the thermoformed, seamless bends generate significantly fewer deposits than multi-piece metal tubing systems used in laboratories or the chemical industry. This is particularly important in cleanroom classes up to ISO 5, where every additional particle can jeopardize the process.
High cleanability and CIP/WIP compatibility
Biotech often requires Cleaning-in-Place or surfaces capable of withstanding disinfection; Beck pipe systems are resistant to alcohols, disinfectants, and mild CIP media—a requirement that is less critical in laboratory construction. The smooth surfaces enable validated cleaning processes without material degradation.
Durability in bioactive environments
No corrosion in humid, bioactive exhaust air
: Fermentation and cell culture processes generate warm, humid, organic exhaust air that places heavy strain on metal piping systems; Beck plastics remain stable even in condensing, bioactive atmospheres—unlike in traditional chemical plants, where acids and alkalis are the primary concern. This durability guarantees decades of reliable operation without corrosion damage.
Cleanroom-compatible fabrication and GMP-compliant documentation
Biotech facilities require cleanroom compatibility, traceability, and reproducible molded parts; the precise, repeatable manufacturing of Beck molded parts meets these requirements better than in many laboratory or chemical applications where GMP is not strictly required. We provide complete material certificates and factory certificates.
More information on Beck molded parts in the biotech industry
What cleanroom classes can be achieved using Beck components?
Our seamless, smooth-walled molded parts are suitable for cleanroom classes up to ISO 5. Their minimal particle emission and ease of cleaning make them ideal for high-purity production environments.
Are Beck systems CIP/WIP-capable?
Yes, our PP pipe systems are resistant to common cleaning and disinfecting agents such as alcohols, peroxides, and mild CIP solutions. Their smooth surfaces enable validated, residue-free cleaning processes.
How does the material perform when exposed to condensing, humid exhaust air?
Unlike metal pipe systems, Beck plastic components do not corrode when exposed to moist, condensing exhaust air from fermentation or cell culture processes. The material remains stable over the long term and does not lose any of its functional properties.
What documentation is provided for GMP areas?
We provide complete material certificates, Type 2.1 certificates in accordance with DIN EN 10204, and all necessary technical documentation to support your qualification and validation processes.
Can Beck components be steam-sterilized?
The temperature resistance of our materials should be verified on a case-by-case basis. However, our components are fully suitable for standard disinfectants and chemical decontamination.
Are you planning exhaust systems for cleanrooms or GMP areas?
Our team of experts will be happy to advise you on low-particle solutions, CIP/WIP compatibility, and GMP-compliant documentation for your biotechnology applications.
