Advantages of Disposables
Setting up, validating, and testing a new process in a fixed plant may take between two to four years. With single-use technology, this time span can be reduced by two thirds. Single-use fluid management and bioreactor bags cut the time of cleaning- and sterilization-in-place from days to minutes. Single-use technologies also have a smaller footprint and reduce consumption of resources such as labor, high purity water, and cleaning agents.

Manufacturing Agility
Single-use technology makes production operations responsive and agile. When upstream titers increase, single-use modules can be used to add extra capacity and allow downstream operations to keep up. Changeover between products can be made quickly and with a reduced risk for cross-contamination.

This is particularly useful when there is a need for several product candidates or when smaller patient populations require personalized therapies. Finally, single-use technology increases preparedness for pandemics and bioterrorism that require fast and flexible responses in terms of scale-up and location.
