Important Considerations For Implementing A Single-Use Biomanufacturing Strategy
Recent trends in biomanufacturing technology and the biopharmaceutical market are supporting the increased adoption of single-use (SU) manufacturing systems. On the demand-side, the biopharma industry is focusing on niche and rare diseases with smaller patient populations, resulting in the need for smaller, more agile biomanufacturing capacity. By Jodi M. Zobrist and Nicole W. O'Brien, Ph. D., Gallus Biopharmaceuticals, LLC

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.

The ReadyToProcess WAVE 25 rocker features integrated temperature sensors and load cells, designed for convenient handling and control of cell cultures up to 25 L. A filter heater is delivered with the system.
A wide selection of ion exchange resin is available in various particle sizes, ionic forms, and purity ranges to offer a variety of purification solutions for process applications. Nuvia ion exchange resins are a family of best-in-class ion exchangers built with exceptionally high capacities and excellent purification capabilities, providing process developers more flexibility and higher productivity. The Macro-Prep are rigid macroporous hydrophilic resin meet the demands of process-scale applications. Chemically and mechanically stable, the resin operate well at low and medium pressures.
Resin are designed specifically for intermediate purification steps that remove host-cell contaminants from partially purified targets using strong or weak hydrophobic interactions. Methacrylate-based beads for protein and nucleic acid purification using hydrophobic interactions are available for purifying compounds that have weak or strong hydrophobic regions.

Bioprocess With The Bozenhardts is back, with a fresh episode packed with advice from Herman and Erich on the selection of filling systems for biopharmas. Listen in as the Bozenhardts give us an update on the process, logistics, and administration trends that are informing filling system decisions today, and offer direction on making choices that will prepare you for the fast-advancing therapies of tomorrow.
Bio-Rad now offers two very high capacity ion exchangers: Nuvia S, which can be used for capture and/or intermediate polishing; and Nuvia Q, which can be used for intermediate and/or final polishing.
