Are Single-use Systems Taking Over?
Single-Use Biopharma Manufacturing Discussion [11:00 Notebook AI]
Single-use systems (SUS) in biopharmaceutical manufacturing have exploded over the past two decades. Join us as we highlight their increasing popularity due to increased speed, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness compared to traditional stainless steel systems, according to the Annual Report and Survey on Biopharmaceutical Report.
Key Topics include single-use systems, biopharmaceutical manufacturing, cost-reduction, industry trends, and sustainability concerns.
Source: The Annual Report and Survey on Biopharmaceutical Report presents survey data showing high and increasing usage rates of various SUS components across different manufacturing stages (R&D through commercial production) in various geographical locations, with China showing particularly high adoption, especially for upstream processes. While mature SUS technologies are approaching saturation, newer technologies like membrane adsorbers show significant growth potential. Finally, the report examines vendor satisfaction, revealing high satisfaction with product quality but persistent concerns about cost and timely delivery.
