Intensify Your Downstream Process

Make the right decision and intensify your downstream process to maximize flexibility and increase productivity. 

Intensified, closed, and continuous bioprocessing are foundational strategies for maximizing operational flexibility and increasing productivity in mAb and recombinant protein manufacturing.   

With a full suite of solutions designed to meet the increased demands of intensified downstream processes and the support of our experienced technical teams, we can help you choose the best strategy to realize the benefits of downstream process intensification .

Intensified & Continuous Downstream Processing

Today’s biopharmaceutical manufacturers face numerous challenges:

  • Flexibility in manufacturing operations to adjust manufacturing capacity to meet drug production needs
  • High volumetric productivity with a smaller facility footprint
  • Speed-to-market and cost-efficient production for competitive advantage 
  • Agility to process multiple products in a single facility 

Downstream process intensification can deliver gains in productivity while maintaining product quality. From initial capture using multicolumn chromatography systems to flow through polishing with ion exchange resins and membranes, our solutions for downstream intensification take advantage of closed processing technologies to mitigate contamination and safety risks, and maximize facility asset utilization.

Whether you’re intensifying your batch processing or moving towards next generation continuous processing, our integrated downstream solutions will help get you there. When combined with our automation and control software that delivers improved automation and control, you’ll be ready to meet the expectations for facility of the future and Biopharma 4.0.

With help and technical support from our experienced global team we will empower you to make the right decisions faster.
