CPC's engineers will walk you through how rigorous, systematic material testing and characterization can improve design and detect failure at every stage of product development to help you bring your product to market sooner. 

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.

Thermal Live Spring Summit is a complimentary two-day virtual event where hundreds of thermal management engineers explore the latest industry developments with peers. The event includes a range of topics shared through live webinar sessions as well as some product demonstrations for additional detail. Register to attend even if you cannot attend live as all sessions and presentations are recorded and will be available on demand.

As the use of additive manufacturing (AM) continues to expand across a wide range of industries, so do the needs to better handle the fluids used throughout AM processes. From the raw materials (like resins) to the solutions that clean equipment, involved fluid management supports key AM goals of speed, quality and sustainability. Learn how choosing the right connector technologies contributes to these objectives.

Thermal LIVE Summit, now a bi-annual virtual event, is organized by Electronics Cooling for thermal engineers. 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.  

“Rigor in Evaluation of Components for Liquid Cooling”

By understanding various aspects of development of components and knowing that all components from various manufacturers interact within a larger system, thermal engineers will be able to more confidently engage both suppliers as well as peer design engineers regarding requirements, product selection and validation for the thermal management applications that they are designing.

Koray Sekeroglu Principal Research Engineer CPC (Colder Products Company)

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.
