Biotech Manufacturing Challenges

Are Manual Processes Limiting Your Biotech Production?

Complex Process Transfer

Scaling bioprocesses from lab to manufacturing requires 24-36 months with manual systems. Technology transfer involves recreating 300 documents revalidating 50 analytical methods and retraining operators on paper-based procedures. Process variability during scale-up results in 20-30% yield losses.

Limited Process Understanding

Manual data collection provides insufficient visibility into critical process parameters affecting product quality. Bioreactor conditions cell viability and metabolite profiles are monitored intermittently creating blind spots. Average response time to process deviations is 4-8 hours leading to batch failures.

Inconsistent Batch Performance

Manual process control creates batch-to-batch variability with titer variations of 15-25% between runs. Operators struggle to maintain optimal parameters across 14-21 day cell culture runs. Documentation gaps make it difficult to identify root causes of performance differences.

Merck Animal Health installed and started up a new automated packaging line. Due to resource constraints, GMP Pros was contracted to create IOPQ protocols and execute the protocols. GMP Pros provided excellent day-to-day communications. This included status updates, specific information or direction needed and draft documents for review. Bottom Line = GMP Pros provided excellent service with very little direction. Their experience is a testament to the service they can provide.
