Equipment and materials for biotechnology companies
Biopharmaceuticals are derived from microbial cells, mammalian cell lines and other cell cultures. Biotechnology companies use them to produce vaccines, monoclonal antibodies, thrombolytic agents and therapeutic enzymes.
Selecting the correct equipment for the synthesis, purification and production of biopharmaceutical products is essential to ensure their efficacy and safety. Biotechnology companies use a wide range of equipment to meet their pharmaceutical production needs, including:
- Bioreactors and controllers
- Bioreactor software
- Cell retention systems
- Sensors and monitors
- Purification and screening equipment
- Filtration systems
- Disinfection systems and accessories
- Sampling systems for bioprocess monitoring
- Homogenisers and homogenising systems
- Oxygen sensors
High production costs, supply chain issues, new manufacturing techniques and regulatory scrutiny are some of the main challenges that biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies face when developing biopharmaceuticals. Improving operational efficiency by making the best possible use of equipment and adopting new and flexible systems such as hybrid systems will help biopharmaceutical companies improve their product innovation and reduce costs.
