Single Use Technology- Where has it been, where is it now, and where is it going?

Mar 2

Single- and limited-use technologies (also termed “disposables”) have had a transformative impact on the development and production of biopharmaceuticals. In the midst of this revolution is a good time to look back at where we have been and where we are now, in order to get some idea of where it is going, much like dead-reckoning navigation in sailing.
