Why is disposable technology more appealing compared to conventional technology?
Continuing from where I left off in my last sentence, as I said if the product has got a long shelf-life, a long demand, that makes sense for us to invest in it and create a good infrastructure, a good footprint and bear the high operational and capital expenditure. But, if the product is in the development phase and you need to have some quick lots of drugs so that we can try clinically, that does not make sense. And, by moving to the disposable technology we are also reducing the chances of cross contamination.
As I said before, again, cleaning, and associated cleaning validation, basically reduced maintenance costs, reduced lead times, increased speed of implementation and time to market , that can be significantly be reduced because we have reduced significantly the time of the processing over the 30 some processes. And we have also reduced the labor costs because of the low cleaning requirement or cleaning validation requirement. And, of course, low space requirement and footprint requirement. That is a main reason why disposable technology is more appealing and more and more people want to go towards that.
In this interview Dr. Shrivastava also discusses disposable membrane chromatography systems, it's cost effectiveness, and how it applies to the large scale. Download the entire interview here.
