Single-use bioreactors (SUBs) offer key advantages over reusable bioreactors, including increased sterility and subsequently simpler and faster changeover between batches or campaigns. After the product is removed from the bioreactor, the user can remove the SUB bag from its holding container and dispose of it (generally via incineration). The new vessel can then be installed […]
How do you know that your bioprocessing is free from costly leaks or integrity failures? Leak testing of single use systems can now be accomplished easily and quickly with an Alicat Scientific Whisper Series Mass Flow Meter.
With protocols for bioprocessing firmly established, there is an increasing focus on reducing the cost of producing biologics, biosimilars, mABs, and other modern medicines requiring bioreactions. Producing these pharmaceuticals promises to revolutionize treatment of many difficult diseases, especially modern scourges that have been resistant to small molecule-based therapies. Focus on cost reduction and improved speed […]
Many pharmaceutical and agricultural products, biofuels, and biochemicals are produced in a fermentation process similar to the way beer is made. Biotech and chemical research companies that make such products need to accurately control the amount of each gas that is fed into the process. One such company is ILS Automation, specializing in OEM and […]
