Innovations in bioprocessing equipment design and operation are reaping higher efficiency through “closed systems”, a concept largely made possible by single-use systems. These connect unit operations and isolate the process from the environment and operators, enabling shorter processing times, greater flexibility, more efficient site layouts, and reduced costs. While widespread adoption has not been attained, COVID-19 has accelerated the industry’s consideration of single-use and closed processing.
Join us to uncover the benefits and challenges of being closed processing ready in bioprocessing, and understand how this achieves better patient safety and care.
In this webinar, you will learn:
- Closed System/s Definition
- Regulations around Closed Processing
- Technologies that enable Closed Processing
- Closed Systems in Downstream & Final Filling areas
