ILC Dover Announces September 17 Webinar Gaining Value With Single Use Containment For Contract Manufacturers

Webinar Information:

September 17

High containment and reduced cleaning results in quick and effective campaign changes

CMO and CDMO facilities have experienced fast paced growth and with more potent compounds planned for launch in the future the good times will continue. There are unique problems with growth for these contract facilities and many have to do with the controls required to assure proper containment of compounds in a multi-use facility. Containment is critical to assure personnel are not exposed to the affects of the drugs and to mitigate issues with cross contamination. These additional controls require greater attention to SOP’s particularly for cleaning and validation. These cleaning procedures reduce the uptime of equipment or process suites then limiting the facility to take on more campaigns and grow faster. This is where single use containment can expedite the changeover in campaigns while still providing the needed controls.

The webinar will present a full range of solutions in applying single use containment to process equipment and focus on the performance, cost savings, and changeover speed of the equipment and suites. Beginning with the typical issue facing the CDMO facility that often campaigns are handled before the early clinical studies are done. These means little toxicology information is available and so they have to be conservative and default to higher level of engineering controls. Processes that were once thought to be safe with simple LEV or no controls now have to be contained. Scaling up to production and CMO’s the game is to utilize the equipment as much as possible. They cannot afford to have containment excursions which create further risks and take additional time to handle. The containment systems chosen must perform and they must allow for ergonomic handling as well as fast cleaning. Single use systems contain at the source protecting the suite from contamination as well as protecting operators. This is key to high utilization rates of the facility and confidence for management to take on more projects.

The information will allow these processors to effectively make decisions to choose the right solution for containment meeting the technical and commercial requirements and maintaining the planned growth for contract manufacturers.
