What is the BPSA?

The Bio-Process Systems Alliance (BPSA) was organized to meet the challenges of the emerging single-use bioprocessing industry. There is a great need to educate, standardize, and develop guidelines that safeguard the quality of drugs produced using this technology. The goal of BPSA is to globally promote confidence in the application of single-use products in the biotech/pharmaceutical manufacturing industry.

  • The alliance consists of leading companies engaged in the manufacture and use of single-use bioprocessing products.

  • Brings together the diverse know-how necessary for single-use bioprocessing, ranging from manufacturers of plastic film, bags, bioreactors, filtration, to fittings and connection devices.

  • Provides an integrated knowledge base for the development, implementation, validation, and operation of single-use bioprocesses.

  • Provides a forum for the development of compatible technologies and standards to facilitate the use of disposables for pharmaceutical manufacturing.

  • Facilitates the acceptance of single-use technology by regulatory agencies.

Members of the 2006-2008 BPSA Executive Committee (left to right: Kevin Ott, SPI/BPSA, Jerry Martin, Pall; John Boehm, Colder; Roberta Morris, Charter Medical, Don Jahn, Dow Corning; Rick Sullivan, Thermo-Fisher; Ken Bibbo, Hynetics; Denise De Tommaso, SAFC (not pictured) gathered in Anaheim following the BPSA Business Meeting on September 22, 2008 to pay tribute to Rick Sullivan as the founding chairman of the BPSA. Rick was presented with a custom-engraved oak gavel in recognition of his leadership and commitment on both a personal and professional level in establishing BPSA as the leading industry trade group promoting the adoption of Single-Use systems. Concurrently, Rick also retired from Thermo-Fisher Scientific, and remains a resident of Utah. Rick is succeeded by Jerry Martin of Pall Life Sciences, who was elected to a three year term as BPSA Chairman at this event.
