Abstract
A method for delivering a processing solution includes providing a concentrated processing solution in a bioprocess container, the concentrated processing solution being produced at a first site. The method also includes combining the concentrated processing solution with a biopolymer containing solution produced in a bioreactor at a second site different from the first site. In some embodiments, the processing solution is a buffer for processing products of cells cultured in a bioreactor. A system and a pharmaceutical production facility for carrying out the method is also provided.
Claims9
A method for delivering a processing solution, comprising:
- a. producing a concentrated processing solution at a first site;
- b. storing the concentrated processing solution at the first site in a bioprocess container at a volume of at least 1000 L;
- c. loading, at the first site, the bioprocess container onto a vehicle, the bioprocess container being different from the vehicle;
- d. shipping, via the vehicle, the bioprocess container from the first site to a second site, the second site being different from the first site;
- e. connecting the bioprocess container to at least one processing unit at the second site;
- and
- f. flowing the concentrated processing solution from the bioprocess container to the at least one processing unit to combine the concentrated processing solution with a biopolymer containing solution produced in the at least one processing unit, wherein the concentrated processing solution is at least one of a buffer and media.
