While the debate between stainless steel and single-use systems (SUS) will continue to rage for the foreseeable future, most would agree that there is a time and place for either approach. Naturally, however, this raises the question: when is it ideal to utilize an SUS approach? What advantages does it confer? How are they being used in the current manufacturing environment?
BioPharm International spoke with SUS experts Nick Johnson, director of Product Management, Biopharma, CPC; Wolfgang Walcher, chief commercial officer, Single Use Support (at the time of interview); and Helene Pora, vice-president, Technical Communication & Regulatory Strategy, Pall, to get their perspective on the current benefits of single-use systems.
