PODs provide the environments for the entire upstream and downstream process for a state of the art gene therapy facility.
Flexible and modular facility designs that can be built in a factory, shipped to the site and then rapidly assembled have been recognized and are being addressed by innovative suppliers.
Single-use technologies are being seen as the solution to flexibly and cost-effectively address many of the challenges around creating biologics manufacturing capacity.
The plug-and-play nature of single-use enables you to incorporate new technologies and innovations into the process workflow as they become available. But beyond the flexibility of the single-use platform, you need to consider a range of other factors to ensure your capacity can will meet your long-term needs.
If you have decided to add capacity in-house, you need to consider which location enables you to most efficiently and effectively meet demand. Having knowledge of the local operating environment as well as regulatory considerations is vital. Where you don’t have this knowledge in-house, finding a supplier with first-hand experience of operating in a region can help fast track your project.
In selecting a biomanufacturing platform, it's necessary to properly understand what the industry needs are and what aspects of the drug development and clinical pathway you intend to support with your new manufacturing capacity. Having a rigorous selection and assessment criteria will ensure you make the right decision.
GE Healthcare is supplying a full biopharmaceutical processing solution, known as a KUBio, to JHL Biotech in Wuhan, China. The sixty-two completed modules that make up the factory have completed the journey from Germany to China are now assembled at the facility at the Biolake Science Park.
