As the manufacture of biologics takes on increased significance in the pharmaceutical sector, it’s clear to see why GE Healthcare’s KUBio system is growing in popularity. Lu Rahman paid a visit to the company facility in Uppsala, Sweden to find out why this approach is indeed, so ground-breaking.
What's in the box
If the concept of a biopharmaceutical manufacturing facility arriving in a box seems far-fetched, think again. It’s becoming the norm for GE Healthcare customers. Combining manufacturing excellence with healthcare expertise, the company’s KUBio modular manufacturing solution based on single-use technologies – which is being hailed as a ‘game-changer’ for the biopharmaceutical sector – offers pre-fabricated modules that can be delivered in a shorter time-frame compared with traditional pharmaceutical factory builds. This of course creates cost-efficiency benefits for manufacturers.
