Agenda

Overview

Single-Use Disposable Bioprocessing products have gained rapid acceptance by biopharmaceutical manufacturer worldwide. Single-Use Disposable products have reduced contamination rates, enhanced production throughput and decreased overall operating costs. Recent collaborations between leading filtration, container /closure, mixing and cell culture companies have resulted in fully integrated Single-Use Disposable Bioprocessing platforms and systems.

Description

This seminar presentation examines the many facets of disposable bioprocessing systems that incorporate a wide scope of polymeric single-use products and will cover:

* Single-Use disposable Technologies, from upstream to downstream processes, are reviewed as related to the use of polymeric devices.

* Specific attention will be given to the related applications used in the
production of biopharmaceuticals and pharmaceuticals.

* How to increase productivity, reduce or eliminate cleaning and
sanitization processes, reduce batch and cross batch contamination.

* Compare the significant material cost savings and reduction in
operational expenses using disposables vs. hardware.

Learning Objectives

At the completion of this lecture course the participant will be able to:

• Identify applications where the use of disposables would be of practical advantage over hardware, e.g., cleaning validation.
• Understand the concepts of disposable technology to assist in writing change control documentation.
• Distinguish changes under the new regulatory process improvement guidelines, minor, moderate and significant.
• Designate which processes and production areas would most benefit from a change to disposable products.
• Describe the multiple cost saving analysis and plans for implementing and justifying the use of Single-Use Disposable Technology.

RATIONAL

Attendees will learn the latest developments in Single-Use polymeric products, devices and their application in replacement of hardware. Practical illustrations will teach the participants the ‘How-to' apply the disposable technologies on their projects and process operations.
