WMArchitect

I have worked at Watson Marlow for 4 years as an Applications Engineer within the WMArchitect brand, previously known as PureSU. I specialize in Single Use Technologies (SUT), specifically fluid paths for drug research and manufacture. I have also helped with the creation of our sterile product library, involving on-going testing and analysis of test data. I have a BEng in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Portsmouth.

Futureproofing Single Use in Bioprocessing

The presentation explores how Single Use Technology (SUT) in bioprocessing was both a solution and a challenge during the COVID-19 pandemic. It highlights the need for supply chain resilience and introduces the concept of interchangeability—using pre-qualified alternative components to mitigate supply disruptions. The BioPhorum initiative aims to standardise definitions and criteria for interchangeability. WMArchitect has launched a service applying these principles, enabling proactive component substitution and streamlined change management. The approach supports regulatory confidence and futureproofs bioprocessing operations.
