Closed Processing for Biomanufacturing

Closed Processing

The facility of the future will require transformation in how biologics are developed and manufactured. Closed processing mitigates contamination and safety risks, maximizes new and existing facility and asset utilization, while enabling sustainable multi-modal manufacturing. With closed processing costly cleanroom and environmental control measures are reduced without compromising product quality. Simplified space design, smaller cleanroom footprints, and increased operational flexibility allow for dramatic cost savings and future-readiness, today.

Operators in a closed processing CNC space

Close your process. Open your possibilities.

With closed processing, you can:

  • Mitigate contamination and safety risks
  • Reduce costly and environmentally demanding cleanroom control measures without compromising product quality
  • Enable connected and continuous process manufacturing
  • Maximize operational flexibility
  • Enable sustainable multi-modal manufacturing
