Single-use systems have become all the rage in the biotechnology industry, driven largely by the need to reduce cleaning requirements and associated time, validation, and cost factors with stainless vessels. A well-developed single-use system will ensure lower risk of contamination in manufacturing while eliminating the cleaning process and cleaning validation.
