Next generation IBD™ In-Line Buffer Dilution Systems from TechniKrom reduce variability, increase yields and save space in biopharmaceutical manufacturing
Press Release
Evanston, IL –TechniKrom, Inc. today announced the launch of two next generation IBDTM In-line Buffer Dilution skid systems. The new systems utilize TechniKrom’s patented Adaptive PATTM technology to enable precise and accurate in-line dilution of buffered salt solution concentrates at 300 L/hr and 1200 L/hr throughput, respectively. Buffer dilutions of up to 10-15X can be achieved with concurrent pH adjustment, offering significantly better accuracy and precision than mass flow controlled blending. TechniKrom’s Adaptive PATTM control not only provides real time adjustment of buffers based on molarity and pH but also corrects any variations in feedstock concentrate at the same time. The units can be used in any application with a high volume demand of dilute buffers, including purification, filtration, cell culture, and formulation. Engineered IBDTM systems with capacities over 6,000 L/hr are available.

White Paper Alert - Kick-Starting PAT to Achieve Quality by Design in cGMP Bioprocessing
PharmaManufacturing.com
by John Walker, VP Engineering, TechniKrom, Inc.

Since 2002, the FDA has promoted a continuous, process-centric approach to validation vs. the prior product–centric one. Yet, many pharma and biopharma companies have failed to incorporate that approach into their strategic plan. This white paper explains the new distinctions and what they mean in practice, then identifies PAT opportunities that can be implemented immediately to support QBD activities.
