Single-use 2023 – Compatibility/Standardization

At the Single-use Event 2023 suppliers and users meet at the ultimate networking event in the world of bioprocessing, biotechnology and (bio)pharmaceutical manufacturing. The Single-use Event focusses on the technological and product developments in these 3 areas: Continuous Bioprocessing, Cell Culture Systems & Microbial Systems.

The visitors come to the event to orientate themselves on new products, to network and to attend the speakers program.
Among the visitors are (bio)process technologists, (bio)pharmaceutical scientists, (bio)chemists, life scientists, biotechnologists, process engineers and process managers.

2023 Thema: Compatibility/standardization

Although there are clearly numerous benefits to implementing single-use (SU) technology, there are still some challenges, such as equipment compatibility and lack of standardization.

Every SU producer manufactures their own SU components like bioreactors, sensors and connectors, which do not always fit to components of other producers. That makes it very complex and also logistically challenging for users.

By not standardising across SU system manufacturers it effectively forces the end user to remain within a given SU environment once they make that initial selection decision to go with a particular SU system manufacturer.

Advantages to single use system standardisation include the avoidance of costs for system modification and faster implementation.

If standardised designs are created that are more or less interchangeable from vendor to vendor the potential market for each SU system manufacturer should increase accordingly, and it should also allow cost reduction in terms of producing those items, because they become standardized.

What's in it for me?

The power of the Single-use Event is the combination of table-top presentations with high-quality products and the many interesting speakers. Speakers from the industry and the academic world are there to talk to visitors about the latest developments in this market. Topics that are covered include USP, DSP, PAT, data management, validation, standardization, service, chromatography in continuous bioprocessing, transition processes, QbD, Flexible/ Multi-product facilities and much more.

You are welcome to view, discuss and test new products, to network and to attend the speakers program. The meeting will be concluded with a networking event, including drinks and snacks. Here you will find the sponsors, speakers and the program.
