Determination Of kLa Values Of Single-Use Bioreactors
Because single use bioreactors offered by manufacturers vary in parameters critical for oxygen transfer, they are often not comparable to each other and to conventional glass and stainless steel vessels.

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

Proven Long Life Lasers™ In Optical Particle Counters Optical particle counters (OPC) utilize light illumination and extinction to determine the presence, size, number and/or concentration of particles. Particles are typically suspended in a fluid or air, which flow through the volume that is illuminated and viewed by the detection system.

Effect Of Sterilization On Mechanical Properties Of Silicone Rubbers
Silicone rubber is widely used in the pharmaceutical industry where sterilizability is an essential requirement for all fluid transfer equipment. Pharmaceutical products must be sterilized frequently and repeatedly by high level energy and/or chemical vapor in order to eliminate bacterial surface contamination.
