Based on the DPTE® System - the original rapid transfer port (RTP)
When it comes to securing aseptic transfer, only the original DPTE® system from Getinge gives you the confidence you want and the quality you need.
DPTE® brings you the highest level of production and patient safety, a flexible and cost-effective process along with the assurance of rigorous validation and reliable expert support.
Getinge develops, manufactures, and supports complete RTP solutions:
- DPTE® Alpha ports
- Single-use DPTE-BetaBag® and reusable DPTE® Beta Containers
- DPTE® Transfer Trolley for both bags and containers
- DPTE® Transfer Leak Testers (TLT)

Carbon footprint reduction in DPTE-BetaBag®
Sustainability is at the core of our innovation. As part of our commitment to reducing the environmental impact of aseptic transfer solutions, we have taken concrete steps to lower the carbon footprint of the DPTE-BetaBag®.
One of the key initiatives is the implementation of a mass balance approach across our DPTE-BetaBag® product line. This method enables the integration of renewable feedstock materials while maintaining the same high standards for safety and performance required by the pharmaceutical industry. The change in mass balance
raw material leads to a 13% reduction in CO2 eq over the life cycle of the product. All validation tests confirm that this approach meets the strict regulatory and quality demands of aseptic processing environments.
This marks an important first milestone in our broader sustainable roadmap—a path toward launching more ambitious programs aimed at decarbonizing our operations and products.

To support the need for gloveless processes, Getinge has developed the DPTE®-EXO - an external opening automated rapid transfer port - and a sleeveless DPTE-BetaBag. The sleeve has been removed and its protective functions are now replaced by the alpha port's funnel.
The DPTE®-EXO with Sleeveless DPTE-BetaBag® is a fully validated and interlocked system. Together with the dismountable funnel, it offers a total gloveless transfer solution from the outside of the aseptic filling area to the processing area.
Many applications
Validated to comply with international regulations, the DPTE-BetaBag® is used in various applications in aseptic and contained production.
Liquid Transfer
DPTE-BetaBag® for aseptic fluid transfer
- Available as part of a sterile, single-use filling assembly from our partners – the efficient way to increase manufacturing flexibility and scalability.
- Enables machine vendors to accommodate multiple products or multiple fill formats and makes it easier to switch between batches.
- Enables faster transfer with fewer cleaning and sterilization steps and reduced setup times.
- Ensures the highest safety levels and protects both operators and patients by eliminating the risk of contamination to filling needles or tubing.
We partner with multiple liquid transfer experts to supply the industry standard in single-use aseptic liquid transfer solutions using the single-use DPTE-BetaBag® technology.
