Risk Mitigation Strategies for Disposable Materials
This presentation will explore Risk Mitigation Strategies for single-use production systems and components. These strategies will focus on an enhanced supplier relationship model, quality and functional requirements as they relate to the process requirements, and the financial implications. Supplier owned safety stock inventories becomes more important as well as the ability of the supply industry to make their products interchangeable with other suppliers' products.

What to Do when There Is a Change to a Polymeric/Plastic, Raw-Material Based Product?
Change notices provided by a supplier to an end-user will sometimes involve a raw material change of a key single use disposable item. Case studies will be discussed based on plastic material changes typically found with single use disposable products. The studies will describe how the changes were implemented and how they can be implemented more easily and faster for future projects.

Risk Mitigation with Disposables
Single-use technology offers big risk mitigation advantages over traditional bioprocessing platforms. Our industry is rapidly adopting disposable systems for the obvious quality benefits - minimizing cross contamination and reducing the impact of failure events. This presentation expands the focus to include not only the obvious, but also mitigation of other business-related risks with traditional approaches such as lost speed, process-dependency, and poor asset utilization.

Study
Process Development and Process Validation of Biotherapeutics Manufacturing Using Single-Use Systems
To manufacture a sterile solution of a protein therapeutic product from plasma, disposable systems were implemented. The evaluation of extractables and leachables was performed as part of the process validation. The validation strategy included conducting a risk assessment, matrixing products, and selecting reasonable worst-case test conditions. The safety and quality impacts of extractables and leachables on protein products were assessed.

8:45
Can Continuous Purification of Biopharmaceuticals Become a Reality?
Most biopharmaceutical products are manufactured using "tried and true" batch processing methods, which are effective but inherently less capital-efficient than continuous processing methods. Adoption of continuous processing approaches presents challenges, including regulatory uncertainties and the design and complexity of conventional continuous-processing equipment. This talk will focus on approaches that may be used to address these challenges and realize implementation of continuous processing technologies for biopharmaceutical manufacturing.
