Boehringer Ingelheim’s disposable set-up can be operated in the same facility and can also be used for non-GMP process development, according to Boehringer.
Boehringer Ingelheim Biopharmaceuticals Process Science Germany vice president Hitto Kaufmann said, ”We have gathered years of experiences from different single use systems in our expert groups and could therefore form a truly unique single use platform for upstream- and downstream processes."
The platform will be established in Boehringer Ingelheim’s mammalian facilities across the globe.
