UNDERSTANDING SINGLE-USE SYSTEMS Increasing global demand for new biologics, vaccines and cell therapies is driving manufacturers to replace traditional stainless equipment with single-use systems, which consist of plastic-based processing equipment used in the development and production of biopharmaceutical drugs. BENEFITS OF SINGLE-USE Operational Efficiencies Increases flexibility and faster batch turnaround. Cost Effectiveness Minimizes cleaning and validation requirements. Economic Advantages Reduces capital expenditures and facility footprints. Improves sterility assurance while decreasing...

UNDERSTANDING THE BIOPHARMACEUTICAL MANUFACTURING PROCESS Media Preparation Seed train Production UPSTREAM Storage Solution Buffer Addition Steam Line Bulk Fill Bulk Formulation Final Fill & Finish Capture Chromatography Purification Chromatography Main process flow line Connectors: AseptiQuik Series, HFC Disconnect Series, Steam-Thru Series ® Media Addition Connectors: Open format, such as MPC Series, MPX Series, MPU Series Harsh Chemical Applications Connectors: AQG PPSU Series

Single-use bioprocessing is designed to be flexible, efficient, and effective in the manufacture of drug substances, monoclonal antibodies, vaccines, biosimilars and regenerative medicines. The process is split into two main sections, upstream and downstream. Along with growing the cell line, the purpose of the upstream process is to scale-up the volume of the target protein or cell from volumes as small as a vial to bioreactors that can be as large as 5,000L. Once the target specimen has reached a target yield, it turns the corner towards the downstream process. The goal of the downstream line...
