Figure 1: For better flexibility to produce a wider variety of targeted drugs, especially biologics, life sciences manufacturers are moving toward single-use options for operating both batch and continuous processing equipment.
Single-use instrumentation, especially new pH sensors designed for upstream and downstream applications, are helping manufacturers develop production suites for creating a greater variety of small-run yet highly targeted drugs.
Life sciences manufacturers already incorporate leading measurement and automation technologies to ensure the quality of the drugs and medicines they bring to market. Yet because the life sciences industry and associated products are evolving in many ways, it remains important for both manufacturers and OEMs to evaluate updated measurement and automation technologies to meet new needs.
In most industries, scaling up is the path forward to gain production efficiencies, with large batc…
