Vaccines bioprocessing Equipment

Biotech equipment is used for cellular and biomolecular processing to develop products that improve our lives and the planet. With the help of specialized lab equipment, the active substance is manufactured or extracted from biological origin materials and typically produced in bioreactors by plant cells, microbial cells, yeast cultures, or mammalian cells. Cell isolation, cultivation, cell banking, and culture expansion are called upstream processes. After harvest, the production process moves into a downstream process to meet purity and quality requirements which is divided into cell disruption, purification, and polishing. Biotechnology equipment makes use of various laboratory machinery such as bioreactors, centrifuges and incubators.

Radial flow chromatography processes require special attention and the right use of high-quality appliances in order to deliver upon specific laboratory requirements. This is where the bubble trap becomes an integral part of the process as it efficiently removes any unwanted gas or air bubbles in process fluids without providing areas where harmful bacteria could accumulate.
<h2>Bubble and gases bubble trap extractor</h2>
Bubble traps are an essential part of the pharmaceutical, food, and chemical industries that are responsible for the extraction of bubbles and gases from chromatographic processes and operations. Bubble traps are most often used in combination with Proxcys Radial Flow Chromatography columns or are simply installed inline onto piping, skids, or for stand-alone use via an expended foot.

The bubble traps are designed in accordance with customer requirement specifications and can range between volumes of 0.5L to 60L. Moreover, the bubble traps have various outlets and inlets that allow for the implementation of add-ons like an expanded feed for stand-alone use in laboratory environments. In general, the standard material of manufacturing is 316L stainless steel with a borosilicate glass cylinder. Additionally, onto the glass cylinder, a straight or at 90-degree elbow Tri-Clamp inlet and outlet to connect to piping are available for a wide range of process flows.

Still, it is completely optional to upgrade materials to a higher grade of steel. All of the materials that have been used come with the proper certifications for usage in pharmaceutical production.

How can single use in biotech be sustainable, if you think of all the waste it creates? This might raise questions regarding the environmental impact. Let’s compare the complete life cycle of single-use systems such as tubing, capsule filters, chromatography devices, and bioreactors to their multi-use counterparts in glass or stainless steel and look at the outcome.

<h2>The end-of-life impact of single use tech</h2>
A product life cycle assessment compared single-use technologies to traditional multi use systems on points like resource extraction, processing, manufacturing, all through the end of the product life. Additionally environmental impact factors such as carbon, energy and water footprint were evaluated to paint a complete sustainable picture. Although disposal and waste remains a concern, the study found that this was actually only 1% of the total impact on the environment. Once put into use single use equipment presented a significantly lower impact resulting in <a href="https://cdn.cytivalifesciences.com/dmm3bwsv3/AssetStream.aspx?mediaformatid=10061&amp;destinationid=10016&amp;assetid=16801">a smaller overall end-of-life impact</a>.
<h2>Single use eliminates the need for cleaning in between batches</h2>
The most pressing finding is that the impact of chemicals, high purity waters and heat for cleaning and sterilization in between production batches is very high. Take for example a <a href="https://making.com/equipment/single-use-bioreactor">single use bioreactor</a> as shown in the video below; No need for extensive cleaning before the culture is started or after it’s finished and reducing the risk of cross contamination. Innovative technology such as 3D printing allows to create customizable products, while (re)creating exact replicas and keep desired process environments steady. Now officially stated as the more sustainable choice makes us understand why single systems are on the rise.
