Driving the Evolution Towards Intensified Upstream Processing



WEBINAR

What are the challenges that come with achieving intensified upstream processing? Join us to learn about how new and innovative single-use and next-generation upstream technologies achieve robust bioprocessing with increasing speed, flexibility, and productivity.

In the current paradigm shift and transformation in biomanufacturing for a facility of the future, various approaches are being taken to realize a true ecosystem of intensified, connected, and continuous processing seamlessly coupled with process analytical technologies (PATs). Intensified upstream processing offers a viable option for improving cell culture productivity enabling many operational benefits like process speed and facility utilization.

This presentation will summarize the current challenge and trends of upstream processing and describe the latest approaches for process intensification powered by PATs and Single-Use technology for closed processing.

In this webinar, you will learn:

  • Consideration for novel intensified upstream processing
  • Various intensification approaches from seed train to production 
  • Ready-to-use, robust, and scalable intensified upstream solutions
