The Path to Genderless Connectors: How Genderless Connectors Lead to More Flexibility, Faster Changeovers and Reduced Costs

Genderless sterile connectors — with their ability to interconnect with each other without male/female limitations — can enhance the flexibility of single-use systems in a wide range of bioprocessing applications. Genderless connectors reduce system complexity, which in turn lowers requirements for inventory management, simplifies operator training and reduces misconnections in the manufacturing suite. In fact, it’s possible this new connector design will drive industry change similar to the transition from stainless, reusable systems to single-use. How can something as small…

An environmental life cycle assessment comparison of single-use and conventional bioprocessing technology

by BPI Contributor

Single-use technologies offer an attractive option for biopharmaceutical manufacturing, but their environmental impact needs be considered. This paper documents the findings of a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) study comparing single-use and conventional bioprocessing technology for the production of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs). The study examines the life cycle environmental impacts at 100 L, 500 L, and 2000 L. The results presented focus on the 2000 L production scale. This assessment was reviewed by a third-party review panel. The results demonstrate that…

Six Essential Workflow Steps for Paperless, Automated, End-to-End Environmental Monitoring

by BPI Contributor

The consequences of microbiological contamination range from FDA warning letters through product quarantines and recalls all the way to plant shutdowns. This makes quality control, specifically microbiological and environmental monitoring (EM) a mission-critical priority for pharmaceutical and biotechnology drug manufacturing operations.
Are you currently struggling with integrating a home-grown, paper-based or semi-automated EM system to your LIMS only to find out that it’s error-prone and resource hungry? Are your current LIMS or IT systems over extended when it comes to customizing automated, paperless, mobile data capture and workflow management for EM? Are you searching for a proven, best-practices approach to automate EM and LIMS workflows and reporting in a cGMP environment without hindering new product development and production?

This whitepaper provides an overview of the essential workflow steps for implementing a paperless, automated, end-to-end environmental monitoring solution to increase productivity, reduce compliance risk and generate a healthy return on investment.

Anticipating Success: Meeting the Inherent Challenges of Complex Drug Substances

by BPI Contributor

Realizing the full potential of a novel injectable drug compound is no small task. In the months and years that lead from the exciting discovery phase to the rigorous demands of a commercial launch, unexpected scientific and technical challenges can slow development to a halt, often at key stages. A careful, systematic approach to identifying where and why these roadblocks can occur is fundamental to staying on course. Just as important is a robust, repeatable process design focused on retaining…

Designing Quality into the Product: Early Developability Assessment in Biopharmaceutical Development

by BPI Contributor

The ultimate objective in the development of any new therapeutic candidate is the validation of its mechanism of action and therapeutic efficacy in a clinical setting. Three important areas of product development critical to determining the success of a new drug candidate are: manufacturing, safety, and delivery of the product to patients. Early attrition observed during preclinical stages can often extend development timelines or require additional process optimization, therefore costing the developer more time and money. It is desirable to…
