Continuous Buffer Management System: Large-Scale Buffer Preparation
Content originally published in Pharmaceutical Engineering® May/June 2024, Volume 44, Number 3.
Although traditional tank farm systems have long been the cornerstone of buffer preparation, they face challenges that have grown with the expansion of processing scale in the industry. This article explores the concept of the continuous buffer management system (CBMS) as an alternative to traditional buffer tank farm methods. We analyze the historical progression of buffer preparation, highlight the advantages and challenges of the CBMS, and present an overview of its hardware components, system design, and process control strategies to demonstrate the viability of the CBMS as a robust and cost-effective solution for biopharmaceutical buffer management at production scale.
