Bioprocessing using Single-Use Technologies

• Define ‘Single-Use’ technology
• Explain why single-use technology is used in the biopharmaceutical industry
• Describe the benefits of single-use technologies compared with traditional manufacturing equipment configurations
• Describe how single-use systems can be used in the different stages of a biopharmaceutical manufacturing process
• Describe the challenges and limitations associated with single-use technologies
• Explain how adoption of single-use technologies can offer flexibility in biopharmaceutical manufacturing

Learner Benefits:

• Gain a clear understanding of what constitutes single-use technologies and their importance in biopharmaceutical manufacturing.
• Learn the distinctions between disposable laboratory items, simple peripheral items, and equipment for unit operations and platform technologies.
• Discover how SUT is applied in various stages of biopharmaceutical manufacturing, from upstream processing (e.g., pre-culture, cell culture) to downstream operations (e.g., viral filtration, chromatography).
• Appreciate the benefits of SUT, such as reduced cleaning requirements, enhanced flexibility, and increased efficiency in switching between products.
• Recognize the potential challenges and limitations of implementing SUT, including waste management and compatibility issues, to better prepare for practical applications in the field.
• Understand how SUT facilitates the transition from traditional stainless-steel setups to more flexible, scalable manufacturing processes.
• Learn about the role of SUT in enabling multi-product facilities and supporting the production of next-generation biopharmaceuticals like advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs).
