Synopsis

This book gives an overview of commonly-used disposables in the manufacture of biopharmaceuticals, their working principles, characteristics, engineering aspects, economics, and applications. With this information, readers will be able to come to an easier decision for or against disposable alternatives and to choose the appropriate system. The book is divided into two parts – the first is related to basic knowledge about disposable equipment; and the second discusses applications through case studies that illustrate manufacturing, quality assurance, and environmental influence.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

An introduction and comprehensive reference to disposables in biomanufacturing

Increasingly, single-use devices (also called disposables) have been replacing their reusable stainless steel counterparts in modern biopharmaceutical processes. Single-use systems offer increased flexibility and versatility while mitigating the risk of contamination during biomanufacturing. The potential reduction in energy, labor, and cleaning costs, along with elimination of cleaning solution wastes and their disposal, offers significant economic advantages. This book provides a practical overview of commonly used disposables in the manufacture of biopharmaceuticals, as well as their working principles, characteristics, engineering aspects, economics, and applications.

Serving as both an introduction and practical reference to this growing area in biopharmaceutical manufacturing, Single-Use Technology in Biopharmaceutical Manufacture:

• Helps readers identify appropriate disposables (and relevant vendors) for their processes

• Offers an overview of the main single-use devices for biomanufacturing, and describes their implementation

• Illustrates manufacturing, quality assurance, and environmental influence with clear case studies

Part I of the book introduces the user to single-use equipment in biopharmaceutical manufacture, while Part II represents a case study collection.

With the information in this thorough and up-to-date resource, biopharmaceutical professionals, engineers, and researchers will be better prepared for making effective decisions regarding disposable alternatives and appropriate systems for their applications.
