As downstream processing accounts for about 70% of the total biomanufacturing cost, it is easy to see why improvements in product recovery and purification are urgently needed. One possible response to this need is the implementation of a single-use TFF process strategy.

Sius “single-use” cassettes provide a unique solution for a cost-effective downstream processing, with measurable cost-in-use savings, while eliminating a significant amount of time performing burdensome clean-in-place (CIP) procedures. This case study outlines the experimental design, development studies, and proposed single-use commercial TFF process based on work performed by Mike LaBreck at Groupe NovaSep.
