📢 Discover the Key to Sustainable Practices 📰 According to James Dean Vogel, biomanufacturers are still in early stages of developing sustainable practices. Defining sustainability and its measurement is a key concern. Vogel states that sustainability means different things to different people. Companies may focus on reducing carbon footprint or water use as measures of sustainability. The choice between stainless steel equipment and single-use plastics depends on various factors. Vogel recommends all companies consider sustainability seriously to benefit their bottom line and the planet. #BioprocessUpdates #sustainabilitydecisions #earlystages #biomanufacturers #sustainablepractices #carbonfootprint #wateruse #stainlesssteelequipment #singleuseplastics #benefittheplanet #sustainabilitymeasurement #reducecarbonfootprint #seriouslysustainable #planetfriendly #bottomline #sustainablechoices ▷ Read the full article here: 📎 https://lnkd.in/diHg4VT8

📢 Maximizing Safety and Efficiency in Bioprocessing 🔍 Bioprocessing equipment and products must be sterilized to ensure they are free from microbial contamination. Even a small level of contamination can compromise safety and efficacy. ✅ Manufacturers need to consider sterilization during the design process of equipment to facilitate easier and more effective cleaning and sterilization. ✅ Risk assessment is crucial, and human error must be avoided through good aseptic practices. ✅ Advanced materials that are microbe-resistant can be used in equipment to reduce the risk of contamination. ✅ Automated cleaning and sterilization systems, along with continuous monitoring, help reduce human error. ✨ Sterilization methods are continually being refined to enhance their effectiveness, reduce processing time, and ensure safety. #BioprocessUpdates #bioprocessingclean #sterilization #microbialcontamination #safetyandefficacy #designprocess #easycleaning #riskassessment #asepticpractices #microberesistant #automatedsystems #continuousmonitoring #effectiveness #processingtime #ensuresafety #refinedmethods ▷ Read the full article here: 📎 https://lnkd.in/dCyWgztU

📢 Boosted Growth and Titer: Revolutionary Findings in Green Biopharmaceutical Fermentation 💡 Researchers at University College Dublin UCD have found that supplementing yeast spent media can enhance titer and growth. 🌿 This suggests that a circular green economy is feasible for biopharmaceutical fermentation operations. 🧪 They discovered that adding magnesium and sodium to the spent media improved the growth rate of E. coli and increased protein titer. 🧫 This approach not only increases productivity but also reduces energy use and waste. 👩🔬🌍 #BioprocessUpdates #SupplementationUpsTiter #GrowthofYeastSpentMedia #CircularGreenEconomy #BiopharmaceuticalFermentation #MagnesiumandSodium #IncreaseProductivity #ReduceEnergyUse #ReduceWaste #UCDResearch #EcoliGrowth #ProteinTiter #SustainableScience #GreenResearch #Bioengineering #CircularEconomy ▷ Read the full article here: 📎 https://lnkd.in/dJTVV9pq
