What Do You Need to Do to Qualify a Single-Use Assembly?
WEBINAR
Single-use technology (SUT) is well established in all stages of bioprocess manufacturing, including upstream, downstream, and fill/finish unit operations. The implementation of SUT usually starts with development of the user requirement specification (URS). The end users at biopharmaceutical companies work closely with the supplier to select components and assemblies (standard or custom) to meet the application requirements. Single-use qualification and regulatory considerations can include properties such as physical, functional, biological, chemical and sterilization.
This webinar will discuss best practices for single use qualification including quality and regulatory documentation.
In this webinar, you will learn about:
- Implementation of single-use technologies
- Single-use user requirement specifications (URS)
- Best practices for single-use qualification including quality and regulatory documentation
