Continuous bioprocessing initiatives have accelerated in recent years. The transition from batch to continuous bioprocessing offers numerous advantages, including process time savings and lower capital costs due to smaller equipment, tanks, and tubing sizes. Additionally, hold tanks may no longer be needed between unit operations, which can be especially valuable for facilities with limited manufacturing floor space. Furthermore, reduced system hold-up volumes improve product recoveries and also contribute to the smaller system footprint of continuous bioprocessing systems. One unit of…

Pall’s Cadenceâ„¢ single-pass tangential flow filtration (SPTFF) technology provides a simple solution for continuous concentration and optimization of Downstream Processing (DSP) steps. It eliminates the conventional TFF recirculation loop and allows product to be concentrated in a single pump pass. The single-pass operation eliminates any mixing or foaming issues and exposes the product to low shear; thus, it is optimal for the processing of fragile and shear-sensitive molecules as well. The single-pass feed flow rates are lower compared to conventional…
