Determining Supplier Capabilities

Choosing your single-use technology supplier

If you have decided to expand your biomanufacturing capacity with single-use technologies, it’s important to develop a detailed set of criteria against which you can assess potential technology suppliers.

Choosing an existing supplier can have its advantages, such as simplifying procurement, but ultimately the decision will depend on a number of contributing factors.

These factors include the technology offering (equipment, systems, and consumables), company and technology reputation, initial capital expenditure, running costs, expected implementation time, availability of on-going service and support, and flexibility as the industry evolves over time.

In all cases, it is essential to find a single-use technology supplier with the potential to be a true partner, working alongside you to meet your objectives now and into the future.
