Medtech and pharma components supplier Qosina announced that CEO Scott Herskovitz has been elected as an at-large board director of the Bio-Process Systems Alliance (BPSA).

The BPSA, an affiliated organization of the Society of Chemical Manufacturers & Affiliates (SOCMA), is an international industry association dedicated to encouraging and accelerating the adoption of single-use manufacturing technologies used in the production of biopharmaceuticals and vaccines. BPSA board members serve staggered two-year terms.

“I am honored to be elected as a BPSA board member and work alongside this highly respected group of industry leaders,” Herskovitz said in a news release out yesterday. “As a global supplier of single-use medical components, Qosina is committed to supporting the BPSA and their focus on the essential and safe utilization of single-use bioprocessing systems for the production of biopharmaceuticals and critical vaccines.”

OEM single-use component supplier Qosina announced earlier this month that it added 12 new filter options for fluid and gas applications.

Ronkonkoma, N.Y.-based Qosina’s filter product line includes offerings across a range of hydrophilic and hydrophobic filters, transducer protectors and an assortment of NRFit filters that are compliant with the ISO 80369-6 standard, according to a news release.

The company offers more than 50 filters that are available across a variety of styles, sizes, materials and colors. Its hydrophilic and hydrophobic options range between 0.1 micron and 5 micron for precise particle filtration, while its transducer protectors feature various inlet and outlet combinations, the company said.

Qosina has partnered up with medical adhesive manufacturer H.B. Fuller to launch an off-the-shelf instant adhesive for medical device assemblies.

The adhesive is a UV-curable cyanoacrylate adhesive for bonding medical device assemblies.

Qosina currently offers adhesive solutions that are designed to adhere to many different types of materials. The adhesives feature low bloom and low odor qualities with varying degrees of viscosity, shear strength and fixture time.
