A thought provoking conversation on the key considerations for process security during the development and manufacturing cell and gene therapies.

As cell and gene therapy companies work to deliver life-changing results, production scale and sterility should remain a key priority.

Without sterile connectors, users typically look to join tubing by either making connections under a laminar flow hood or via tube welding. Both are viable options, however, they have inherent disadvantages such as low efficiency, unreliable consistency, and high costs.

To address these disadvantages, converting to sterile connectors specifically single-use connectors - can be considered. These connectors create fast, easy, and sterile connections for small fluid connections. In addition, sterile connectors eliminate the need for specialized tools and equipment and create sterile connections even in non-sterile environments. 

In this webinar, we will review the topics of process safeguarding, operator convenience, and true scalability solutions, in addition to presenting cost-benefit considerations.

Ricky Zhang, Thermal Senior Applications Development Manager for CPC will be presenting on Tuesday September 3 at 4:10 pm.  He will be discussing component reliability metrics for liquid cooling.

Reliability is paramount when developing cell and gene therapies. Today, the end-product costs are a major focus and will be in the future as advanced therapies mature and continue to become more widely used. The challenges and costs associated with a therapy approval can reach hundreds of thousands of dollars per dose, which makes the cell and gene therapy manufacturing process critical. Sterile connectors can help save time and money in this process. CPC will discuss connector solutions for sterility, chemical compatibility, and ultra-low temperature challenges when setting up a therapeutic process for long-term success.

There is a growing utilization of liquid cooling to address the high temperature output of electronics and computing systems. And as various types of liquid cooling techniques, systems and components evolve, the focus on materials is paramount to successful implementation. This presentation will provide a summary of how material selection of system components and subcomponents impacts performance and reliability.

Attendees will learn how common coolants interact with components made of various metal alloys, high-performance plastics, and elastomers. Additionally, they will learn about interactions between components within the wetted loop as individual components within a cooling system may be more prone to corrosion or pose a higher risk to performance degradation under corrosive conditions.  The nature of a wetted loop effectively connecting all components and subcomponents of a system and the introduction of new fluids as coolants of choice means that designers and operators need to pay particular attention to chemical compatibility more than ever before.  In correlating corrosion mechanisms to materials and application environments of liquid cooling systems, designers can be better prepared to not only avoid catastrophic failures but ensure long-term reliability.

Key takeways:

• Insights around corrosion prevention, fluid selection, component specification and system design including the importance of understanding products’ subcomponents and accessing key info from suppliers
• Understanding the fundamentals of corrosion and the different types of corrosion and their causes, as can be found on materials specified for liquid cooling
• Deeper knowledge and appreciation for metals materials science and the evolution of metal alternatives for liquid cooling applications

It’s well known that poorly designed thermal management systems can result in suboptimal performance or system failure. What isn’t as well understood are the material properties and myriad calculations that all need to be taken into consideration when developing a high-performing liquid cooling system -- or the role that quick disconnects play in supporting reliability, uptime, ease of maintenance and system performance. It’s complicated but it doesn’t need to be confusing.

CPC’s Application Engineering Manager, Andres Abraham provides tips and insights that will help engineers understand which types of quick disconnects (and other components) are suited for liquid cooling systems. And he will describe how fluid selection decisions should impact the specification of subcomponents in connectors and other system parts in the wetted loop.

Thermal LIVE Summit is an annual virtual event for thermal engineers organized Electronics Cooling. Event registrants can attend live and interact with presenters, posing their thermal management questions to engineers from various cooling system component manufacturers or watch session recordings at their convenience post-event.  

In a market where efficiencies, cost savings, repeatable processes and safety are vital, cell and gene therapy companies must routinely evaluate their processes and analyze where improvements can be made, even down to the way they are managing fluid transfer.

CPC examines the total cost of ownership of tube welded connections and single-use aseptic connectors. In this presentation he discusses vital evaluating criteria such capital expenditure, raw materials and utilities, but also dives deeper into considerations such as training, downtime, validations, and connection speed.

Advancement in Single-use Aseptic Connector Material Technology Enables Greater Reliability and Application Flexibility

Single-use downstream applications including, chromatography, filtration, and purification create difficult environments for supplier components due to the presence of chemicals across a wide pH range.  Aseptic connectors are crucial components to these processes to maintain efficiency and sterility.  For this reason, CPC is introducing a connector utilizing chemically stable and robust materials. This presentation will go through the challenge these applications present to connectors, the engineering decisions made to select the new product, and the benefits to the process of using CPC connectors.
