Key components of a comprehensive program for the management of single use technologies in biologics manufacturing

As a result of the increased adoption of single-use technologies (SUTs) in biotech manufacturing, companies need to develop and implement programmatic approaches for the management of these systems under regulatory compliance. This webinar discusses the key aspects of such programs, with emphasis on collaboration with suppliers, cost management, as well as practical insights about the use of SUTs.
