Objectives
This online training course gives an overview on available Single-Use Technology and how this technology can be implemented in the GMP manufacturing Environment.
Background
The use of Single-Use Technology increases in many biotechnological processes as well as in sterile filling processes. There are different reasons for this development, i.e.
Avoiding cleaning and cleaning Validation
Reducing time to market by omitted construction activities
Simplified scale-up procedures
High flexibility
On the other side – especially in comparison to stainless steel – new questions arise like
How to qualify and validate the technology?
What are the consequences at the GMP-Level?
How much responsibility can be transferred to the SU supplier?
How should Leachable&Extractable Data be evaluated?
These and other questions will be discussed and answered during the course by experts from university, pharmaceutical Industry and GMP authorities.
Target Group
The course is directed at staff from pharmaceutical industry and suppliers from
Production
Engineering
Research & Development
Quality Assurance
who want to learn how Singe-Use Equipment can be implemented in Biotech and Sterile Operations in a GMP-compliant way.
Technical Details
To participate in an on demand training course or webinar, you do not need any software. The recordings are made available via a streaming server. In general, the recording is provided in MP4 format, which any PC (Microsoft Windows, Apple IOS) or tablet can easily display.
Timing and Duration:
When you register for the on demand Training course or webinar you can decide at what date you want to follow the training course online. For a 1-day training course you will have 2 days in which the stream is available (for 2-day training course 3 days and for a 3-day training course 4 days). Within in this timeframe you can start & stop the stream according to your needs.
In time before the scheduled date (your desired date) you will receive an e-mail from us with a link for direct participation as well as your log-in data.
Please be aware: The recording does not include the Q & A sessions.
Training Course Documentation and Certificate: The presentation will be made available as PDF-files via download during the online training course. After the successful completion of the online training, you are able to download the certificate of attendance.

The Role of Extractables/Leachables in the Adoption of Single-Use Systems The successful adoption of single-use technologies in a biopharmaceutical process largely relies on confidently selecting the right components for use in the fluid path of a product, within a specific process. An important step in choosing such components requires generating an extractables profile, which can be done by carefully selecting the solvent streams and extraction conditions to model the product and process steps complemented with the right analytical strategy. This presentation will focus on:
The approach to adopt the BioPhorum (BPOG) extractables protocol as a baseline testing strategy
How to apply extractables data to a specific process followed by a systematic, risk-based safety assessment approach used for comparing known safety concern thresholds
Important stages in the risk assessment process as demonstrated by case studies from typical drug manufacturing processes where single-use components were used
Case Study Merck: Single-Use Technology in Aseptic Drug Product Manufacturing
Reasons for using SUT
Process: pooling, filtration, filling
Project: facility and equipment pre-requisites, qualification and implementation of SUS
Risk identification when using SUT and Mitigation strategy (e.g. integrity assurance)
Lessons learned and best practice when moving from traditional filling to SUT
