31. How Continuous Bioprocessing Is Shaping Modern Biopharma Manufacturing 3/28/2024

    Continuous processing adoption so far has been slow; however, market research shows demand and capacity will grow significantly over the next four years.

32. Developing & Implementing A Continuous Bioprocess Control Strategy 2/20/2024

    A key challenge to better uptake of continuous processes in biologics manufacturing is the necessity to link unit operations. This article defines a standard template approach for developing and implementing a continuous bioprocessing control strategy, providing a visual and technical aid, and sharing considerations when selecting control schemes.

33. A Data-Derived Approach For Selecting Criticality Levels In FMECAs For Cleaning Process Risk Analysis 2/16/2024

    The ASTM E55 Cleaning Team, in collaboration with F04 Medical Device Committee members, felt that the commonly used three-level criticality system was inadequate for use in a science- and risk-based standard for cleaning process development, validation, and monitoring. This article will provide a detailed discussion of how science-based and data-driven criticality levels were derived, the meaning of each level, and how they can be used for guiding the selection of risk reduction and risk control measures.

34. Continuous Manufacturing: Many Want It, But Here's Why Few Have It 2/13/2024
