Fitted in the facility's second drug substance line, the contract research, development and manufacturing organisation (CRDMO) explained that this move enhances manufacturing capability at the site, by increasing capacity from 8,000L to 23,000L.
Enhancing bioreactor capacity
Single-use bioreactors enable "highly flexible and cost-effective manufacturing and are more environmentally sustainable with reduced contamination risk", when compared with stainless steel bioreactors,
a larger 5,000L single-use reactor means manufacturing efficiency is improved by lowering the number of production batches and decreases production cost by reducing equipment, labour, and material consumption"
Utilising the larger reactor means manufacturing efficiency is improved, by "lowering the number of production batches and decreases production cost by reducing equipment, labour, and material consumption", the company explained.

"The addition of 5,000L single-use bioreactors is a major milestone in our company's offerings, as we enhance capacity and capability to meet the needs of our clients," Dr
Making progress in manufacturing from
This news follows a major production-related development for the CRDMO earlier this year. In January,
The run combined four 4,000-litre single-use bioreactors, and in total resulted in the largest manufacturing scale for
