Single-Use Connections Enable Advancements In Aseptic Processing
By John Boehm, Colder Products Company
Today's market demand for new drugs — combined with the difficult economic environment — is challenging bioprocessors to review their manufacturing systems and seek ways to make them more flexible, reliable, and cost-effective.


An Explanation Of IPEC Guidelines
By Patty Benson, Director of Quality Assurance, SAFC
The required standards for manufacturing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) are laid out in GMP (good manufacturing practice) requirements. All competent API manufacturers are well aware of these guidelines and must adhere to them, but they only apply to the API and not the excipient.

When a study depends on the integrity of the drug being administered, any excursions can compromise the entire clinical trial. We understand this better than anyone because life science is our business, led by pharmaceutical industry experts with deep knowledge of logistics and pharma regulations. Our global Pharmaceutical Service Network is purpose-built for the secure storage and distribution of your valuable IMPs and medical devices, while our temperature-controlled depots offer an additional host of services.

Spotlight On Downstream Processing

Process Train Containment In CMO Operations
Handling HP/C compounds requires highly specialized facilities and controls. As part of Pharmatek's overall corporate safety program, they chose to integrate ILC Dover Flexible Containment Solutions into their HP/C facilities.


Cadence™ Single-Pass Tangential Flow Filtration Modules And Systems
The benefits of this technology includes increased yield of product due to improved recovery capability and lower hold-up volume, increased final product concentration due to high concentration factor capability, and elimination of product damage or aggregation due to reduced residence time and shear exposure.


WAVE Bioreactor™ 200 And 500/1000 Systems
The system is a cell culture device for the production of recombinant proteins in mammalian and insect cell lines in batch, fed-batch, and perfusion culture. Culture medium and cells are loaded into a single-use, presterilized bag that requires no cleaning or sterilization.


Sartobind® Capsules For Capture Chromatography
Sartobind membrane adsorbers with 8 mm bed height (30 membrane layers) can be used for flow-through and bind and elute (B&E) applications, as flow channels have been optimized for smallest void volume.
