Service Package Options Making The Switch To Single-Use: Have You Thought Of Everything?

In 2014, Prolong Pharmaceuticals followed through with a decision to build a facility for the scale-up of their lead product, SANGUINATE. As part of this decision, the new facility would not utilize Prolong’s traditional manufacturing process and would instead switch to one that uses single-use technology (SUT) almost exclusively. Chuck Hart, Prolong’s director of manufacturing, recently sat down with me to discuss some areas he feels are sometimes overlooked when switching from traditional stainless steel to SUT.

  • One-Touch Single-Use Fluid Path Assemblies Enhance Operational Flexibility Meissner’s One-Touch single-use fluid path assemblies are designed for secure fluid transfer in critical biopharmaceutical processing applications. The assemblies reduce process risk while providing an enhanced level of convenience that maximizes flexibility in the deployment of singleuse systems, as well as conventional systems.
  • Phenomenex Creates Centralized, Interactive Resource For Kinetex Core-Shell HPLC / UHPLC Column Users

    Phenomenex Inc., a global leader in the research and manufacture of advanced technologies for the separation sciences, introduces the "Kinetex Experience" - an online center for the many tools available to users of the company's flagship core-shell HPLC/UHPLC columns and those interested in learning about core-shell technology.

  • Research Breakthrough Selectively Represses The Immune System

    In a mouse model of multiple sclerosis (MS), researchers funded by the National Institutes of Health have developed innovative technology to selectively inhibit the part of the immune system responsible for attacking myelin -- the insulating material that encases nerve fibers and facilitates electrical communication between brain cells.
