Impact of Single-Use Tangential Flow Filtration in Downstream Bioprocessing

This webcast features: Michael LaBreck, Sales Director, Repligen TagenX Products Single-use solutions are fast becoming platform in bioprocessing as a response to pressure to optimize process economics and process efficiencies. Implementing single-use alternatives in tangential flow filtration (TFF), a critical step in downstream bioprocessing for concentration and diafiltration (buffer exchange), is a major part of this transformation. Repligen TangenX™ SIUS™ Single-use Cassettes are the first purpose-built cassettes designed for tangential flow filtration. This webinar will demonstrate how deploying these innovative…

Ask the Expert: Advanced Materials for Single-Use Biomanufacturing Systems

Advanced fluoropolymer materials offer distinct advantages in single-use systems regarding chemical compatibility, extractable levels, and cold-temperature performance. In a 5 April 2017 webcast, Michael W. Johnson (business development engineering manager for life sciences at Entegris) examined data from pilot-scale testing of a new single-use bag system for freezing, storage, and shipping of formulated bulk biologics. Johnson’s Presentation Factors restricting disposables use in biopharmaceutical development include bag breakage, concerns over extractables and leachables, and material incompatibility. Bioprocessors want new and improved…
