Bioprocess Solutions: Advancements With Single-Use Technology

By Michael Mühlegger, Head of Marketing & Inside Sales

The integration of single-use technologies in upstream and downstream bioprocessing stages has transformed bioprocess manufacturing by improving efficiency, reducing costs, and minimizing contamination risks. These systems, such as filters, chromatography columns, and disposable bags, have proven to be effective in achieving high product purity and yield. Single-use technologies are used in various applications of biopharmaceutical processes, including fill/filtration-freeze/thaw, monoclonal antibodies, mRNA, bioconjugates, vaccines, fermentation, cell banking, and advanced therapies. They are also more environmentally friendly compared to traditional stainless steel systems. These advancements in bioprocessing technology contribute to the development of innovative diagnostic and therapeutic tools, fueling innovation in medicine and driving the progress of the biopharmaceutical and biotech industries.
