New Product Launches Planned for Biotech Week Boston, Oct. 4-7

PORT WASHINGTON, N.Y., September 28, 2016 - At next week’s first annual Biotech Week Boston (October 4-7, 2016), Pall Corporation, a global leader in filtration, separation and purification, will officially launch new production-scale technologies and preview upcoming technologies that enable fully continuous biopharmaceutical processing using single-use formats. These solutions will be formally introduced at the BioProcess International Conference & Exhibition (BPI), October 4 - 7, 2016 at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center (BCEC), Booth #521.

 

As manufacturers of biotherapies seek to incorporate continuous technologies in production to improve efficiency over batch methods, and to enable process intensification, Pall is forging ahead by offering biopharmaceutical companies an “end-to-end” continuous processing option with integrated single-use technologies. Single-use systems enable manufacturers to reduce costs by eliminating cleaning and validation requirements, as well as hardware infrastructure.

 

Last year Pall introduced the Cadence™ BioSMB PD System, the first disposable flow path, continuous multi-column chromatography system that is scalable from laboratory process development to GMP manufacturing. Earlier this year, Pall introduced the Cadence Acoustic Separator (CAS)1, a groundbreaking invention that incorporates acoustic wave separation (AWS) technology to continuously harvest biologic drug substances from cell culture processes. At BPI Pall will continue to advance its pipeline of products that enable continuous manufacturing by launching production-scale continuous chromatography solutions, a new single-use stirred tank bioreactor, single-use sterile genderless connectors, and other equipment and materials. In addition, Pall will feature filtration technology for consistent and robust small virus retention.

 

“At Pall we are helping the industry move continuous bioprocessing from theory to reality,” said Michael Egholm, Ph.D., VP and General Manager, Pall BioPharmaceuticals. “Our continuous-ready products and integration expertise help manufacturers of biotherapeutics achieve high-quality products with smaller production footprints and shorter lead times.”

 

Egholm will introduce Steve Wozniak, Apple Co-Founder as the keynote speaker for the conference program at Biotech Week Boston on Friday, October 7, at 9:15am. Wozniak’s presentation will cover innovation and customer centricity. (Please find details below)
