Hybrid Design Considerations in Biomanufacturing: Leveraging Both Stainless-Steel and Single-Use Systems

Demand for biopharmaceuticals is growing rapidly as new products and manufacturing technologies arise. For example, such approaches as immunooncotherapy and oncolytic viral therapy are now entering one of the fastest growing markets in medicine — cancer treatment. This market “should grow from [US]$177.4 billion in 2021 to $313.7 billion by 2026, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.1%” (1). Both preclinical and final biomanufacturing increasingly incorporate single-use (SU) components, including hardware and systems for containment and connectivity. Solutions…
