ISPE’s Post

Although traditional tank farm systems have long been the cornerstone of buffer preparation, they face challenges that have grown with the expansion of processing scale in the industry. This article explores the concept of the continuous buffer management system (CBMS) as an alternative to traditional buffer tank farm methods. We analyze the historical progression of buffer preparation, highlight the advantages and challenges of the CBMS, and present an overview of its hardware components, system design, and process control strategies to demonstrate the viability of the CBMS as a robust and cost-effective solution for biopharmaceutical buffer management at production scale.

ISPE has announced the launch of the ISPE Community of Practice (CoP) on Sustainability. The Sustainability CoP joins ISPE’s 20 Global Technical CoPs and supports industry-wide efforts to reliably deliver quality medicines to people. Members of the Sustainability CoP will aim to bring forward solutions for the industry’s unique challenges related to sustainability, gathering insights and engaging in data as well as knowledge-sharing with the pharmaceutical community. The new CoP offers members the opportunity to collaborate on the topic of sustainability, leveraging existing resources such as the ISPE Baseline Guide Volume 6: Biomanufacturing Facilities (Third Edition) and exploring pertinent topics like the influence on reduction of energy consumption in facility design.

Having a universal and uniform Common Technical Document (CTD) for all markets, major and emerging, is an aspiration of all pharmaceutical companies. As markets become more familiar with the CTD, especially the quality portion, some drug regulatory agencies are requesting more regional/local documents and customization to CTD documents in accordance with their local interpretation and understanding of the ICH M4Q(R1) guideline, “The Common Technical Document for the Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use: Quality.” It may be that the agency wants to find specific information quickly and easily, such as the manufacturer of the master and/or working cell bank.
