Interest in the use of disposable products and single-use systems within the biopharmaceutical industry has grown significantly in recent years. The accepted benefits — including decreased risk of contamination, elimination of clean-inplace (CIP) and steam-in-place (SIP) procedures, and decreased facility startup times — have made disposables a desirable alternative to traditional designs. However, interest in these new products has not always translated into purchases. A lack of economic data has been one major shortcoming. Market growth for disposables depends on financial justification. Case studies involving real-world data are imperative to the success of these products because decision makers require objective information to validate their purchases.
