Turning Data Into Information
As biopharmaceutical manufacturing has evolved from small-scale lab production in small flasks to massive commercial production in deep-tank bioreactors, an avalanche of production data has evolved to support it. From individual unit operation skids to distributed control systems and enterprise resource planning tools, biomanufacturing today is buried by the sheer quantity of data coming in from the manufacturing floor.

Economic Analysis Of Single-Use Tangential Flow Filtration For Biopharmaceutical Applications Prior to creating an accurate economic model for TFF, a thorough understanding of the process where the TFF is used is needed. A process model is a valuable tool when properly executed and it must accurately include all critical aspects of the purification process. By Michael LaBreck, Mark Perreault, Novasep

Automation Of A Homogeneous Proximity Assay For Detection Of Residual Protein A In Biological Therapeutics
Protein A is used in affinity chromatography for therapeutic antibody purification and has been shown to leach from columns during purification of antibodies resulting in contamination. Residual Protein A in therapeutic drugs could elicit mitogenic or immunological reactions in patients.

Biomanufacturing Flexibility
This white paper from BIO-G looks at how to create flexible, agile manufacturing facilities to respond to the current glut of biomanufacturing capacity and industry consolidation. Future proofing these facilities for higher titers and multiple product lines is also explored.
