Bottles are widespread in the logistics of biopharmaceutical manufacturing as primary packaging for liquid transfer. However, the common usage still includes to perform manual handling. This includes the risk of cross-contamination and decreases the overall process performance. This is where biopharmaceutical end-to-end solutions come into play.
The scalability and overall process performance can be improved through automated process solutions that make bottles pertain to a primary package as closed system: Rigid containers can be upgraded to closed systems by using bottle caps with inlet/outlet tubing and a vent filter.
This leads to a closed operation eliminating the need for laminar flow or grade A environment.
With end-to-end process solutions around single-use PE bottles it is possible to integrate bottles in an automated modular process which can be performed as closed system. It even opens doors to Pharma 4.0 by digitalizing primary packagings.
Supporting the industry trend from bottles to single-use bags, hybrid end-to-end solutions help to implement processes for both primary packagings in one platform.
Single Use Support offers an integrated and vendor-independent platform for single-use PE bottles that covers the entire process from filling/filtration to freezing/thawing and shipping. Unlike stand-alone silo platforms, this approach addresses specific manufacturer and laboratory requirements.
In order to let go of silo mentality that still dominates in supplies for biopharmaceutical industry Single Use Support rounds off its product innovations with full services with regards to qualification & validation, after-sales, engineering and more. It is time to increase rationalization processes and to eliminate the risk of product loss.
