Bioconjugates manufacturing & the advances with single-use technology

The manufacturing of bioconjugates is a complex process that involves linking a drug payload with a targeting moiety using a linker. The process is highly specific and requires careful optimization to ensure that the bioconjugate is effective and safe for use in patients. Single-use technology has revolutionized the manufacturing of bioconjugates by offering a range of benefits over traditional stainless-steel manufacturing. Therefore, this article will pay special attention to this subject.

Whitepaper: Freezing & Storage of Biopharmaceuticals at -80°C

In this publication we show that the initial price can be deceiving and there are significant additional costs during ongoing usage in the long term. Plate freezers ensure a complete, consistent, and fast freezing (and thawing) to ensure the quality of your high-valued drug substance is maintained, and through simple lifecycle analysis they outpace conventional options regarding total costs.

Whitepaper: Homogeneity in Biopharmaceutical Aliquotation

Homogeneity of pharmaceuticals plays a major role in fluid management. Liquid drugs have different viscosities, degrees of sedimentation, and other varying properties, making it difficult to standardize the aliquotation of liquids. RoSS.PADL is a homogenizing solution with kneading and cooling functions for standardizing the mixing of biopharmaceuticals precedenting the dispensation into single-use bioprocess containers. This fully automated and hence standardized process ensures homogeneous distribution of the liquids in single-use bio process containers.
