Case Study - Reducing Product Loss | Cost-Efficiency

Reducing Product Loss due to Bag Breakages

Biopharmaceutical companies have largely accepted a certain level of product loss when managing drug substances in single-use systems - unaware that solutions exist to streamline process steps and dramatically reduce product loss . The breaking of single-use bags in turn means loss of very valuble drug substances.

A global biotechnology company produces different drug substances of highly valuables monoclonal antibodies (mABs). It experienced a product loss rate between 0.5% and 5% due to the sensitivity of single-use bioprocess containers at sub-zero temperatures. Therefore, the goal was to reduce the current product loss below 0.5%.

This case study discloses how the implementation of RoSS® technologies from Single Use Support had an impact on the product loss during trials of hundreds of single-use bags.

You will be surprised of the cost savings due to reduced product loss.
