The smarter, the more efficient – Bürkert solutions for the Biotech industry 4.0
Single-use processes offer many advantages, especially in biotechnology, such as savings in cleaning biotechnical systems and improved process efficiency and the associated significantly reduced production times. Bürkert therefore supplies single-use solutions for more efficient and better production of biopharmaceutical drugs as well as digital interfaces for the Biotech industry 4.0.
Whether for upstream or downstream processes: Complex processes in the pharmaceutical industry, life science and drug production such as the production of monoclonal antibodies and vaccines require concepts that make the processes simpler and more efficient instead of making them more complex. This is exactly where Bürkert’s strength lies. With individual components, the integration of tailor-made modules or with turnkey system solutions, we achieve lean structures and automated processes by means of intelligent networking.
Always with the aim of shortening the time-to-market, saving resources and at the same time maintaining the high quality and hygiene standards in the Biotech industry. This is where our engineering competence, our expertise in fluidic control and measurement technology and our understanding of processes, applications and systems in biochemical engineering come into play.

The requirement: Reduce dead volume and cross-contamination
The Bürkert solution: Multi-way valves with reduced contamination risk as well as modular construction set for reliable filter testing procedures, whereby there are fewer failed integrity tests and product loss is reduced.
The requirement: Precise media separation with minimal dead space with reduced space requirements
The Bürkert solution: This is where multi-way diaphragm valves and valve distributor blocks are used, also in single-use variants.
The requirement: Make WFI and pure steam quickly and easily available
The Bürkert solution: With the FLOWave flowmeter, we have developed a measuring device that makes process monitoring and diagnostics possible in real time – even media with low conductivity.
The requirement: Ensure consistent conditions and exact dosing of media.
The Bürkert solution: Valves, sensors, mass flow controllers for precise, automated and efficient control in a hygienic environment.
The requirement: Precise dosing in your filling line.
The Bürkert solution: The coordinated interaction of Bürkert flowmeters. Valves and software with batch functionality reduces product loss and boosts efficiency.
Measurably safe, measurably efficient
Bürkert Systemhaus – always open for the requirements of the Biotech industry 4.0
The development of digital control and measurement technology systems in biochemistry is complex and takes time. Use the know-how of our fluid control specialists to act more efficiently. We listen, analyse and develop future-oriented products and systems until they are ready for series production. You and your projects are always welcome in the Systemhaus – on site, by telephone or virtually.
