Bioprocessing

Bioprocessing is any process that uses complete living cells or their components (e.g., bacteria, enzymes, proteins) to obtain desired products. Bioprocessing is how therapeutic stem cells, gene therapy vectors, and new vaccines are produced.

Biopharmaceutical products are the fastest-growing drug type in the industry.

Biopharmaceuticals often begin with cells grown in a bioreactor that are then filtered, concentrated, sterilized and packaged in the appropriate delivery form.

Bioprocessing Equipment Includes

• Cell Culture Products
• Bioreactors
• Cell Culture Equipment
• Filtration and Sterilization Equipment
• Fill and Finish Equipment
• Tubing, Fittings, and Other Ancillary Equipment

Major classes of biopharmaceuticals include extracts from living systems, recombinant DNA products (biologics), gene therapies and vaccines. Biologics can be composed of sugars, proteins, nucleic acids, or complex combinations of these substances, or may be living cells or tissues. They are isolated from biological sources—human, animal, plant, fungal, or microbial.
