By Rob Wright
A Q&A With Dr. Helene Pora, Ph.D., Senior Director, Single-Use Systems, Pall Life Sciences

It is now moving into very sophisticated applications, especially when we touch on licensed cell culture and final formulation and filling. The main challenge is how to address the quality standards that have existed for years with stainless steel systems and adapt them into single-use. Some approaches that work with stainless steel don’t work with single-use.
