Biopharmaceuticals are pharmaceutical products that contain biotechnology derived proteins as active substances.

Over the years a very large number of different biomolecules and their importance / role in various biochemical processes have been researched upon which in turn has thrown up many different types of biopharmaceutical products for various applications in the field of therapeutics and medical diagnostics.

These can be categorized into the following groups but are not limited to:

• Recombinant Proteins

• Vaccines

• Plasma Fractions

• Monoclonal Antibodies

The manufacturing processes for most of different biopharmaceuticals have four major generic operations as shown in table below.

mdi offers a very wide range of microfiltration devices for media preparation, sterile venting, clarification of cell harvest and bioburden reduction and sterilization of a variety of fluid streams in the upstream as well as downstream process areas.
