As more biopharmaceutical products enter clinical trials and commercial production, it is becoming ever more challenging to guarantee the supply of critical raw materials and disposable process components. The sheer volume of some raw materials is testing the limits of many suppliers, while more applications move toward the use of prepared and presterilized materials. Concurrently, quality control expectations are expanding to keep pace with the availability of increasingly powerful analytical techniques.
