Suppliers to the industry have been innovating to meet the single-use requirements of biotech manufacturers. Emerson’s Michalle Adkins pointed me to a recent award received for technology innovation for these single-use requirements.
For pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical manufacturers, scaling up production has typically meant large, 5000+ liter stainless steel bioreactors for the process. These require cleaning and sterilization between batches. Market demands are driving the need for more flexibility with smaller batches. Single-use technologies (SUT) are being applied to bioreactors to address these demands and reduce the cost […]
At this past autumn’s Emerson Exchange conference in San Antonio, Texas, Emerson’s Michalle Adkins demonstrated single use manufacturing measurement and control devices and how they could be used to measure and control biomanufacturing operations in a single use environment.
For those not in the pharmaceutical and biotech manufacturing industries, if you ever visit one of these facilities you’ll be struck by the clean, shiny stainless steel vessels and piping. Given the importance of hygiene in the production of medicines, most processes include clean-in-place (CIP) and sterilize-in-place operations (SIP). The capital costs and ongoing time […]
