Out of the Box Thinking

New simple-to-install, universal connectors for asceptic parenteral manufacturing are making it much easier for pharmaceutical manufacturers to combine single-use technologies with permanent, stainless-steel systems and/or with other single-use systems from different manufacturers with different coupling requirements.

This type of connector makes it possible to shrink the footprint of manufacturing operations in the clean room and reduce the steps necessary for achieving sterile manufacturing. Both advantages add up to improved efficiency and productivity.

However, there are even greater potential benefits if this type of technology can be shown to provide an asceptic connection outside of the clean room.
Do you think connector technology can achieve such a level of sterility assurance? What type of evidence would you need to be convinced? Would you then feel comfortable using them outside of the clean room in order to leverage the numerous efficiency, productivity, and cost gains such an approach would make possible?
