Bioprocessing resources for lab, pilot and production
Articles, videos and brochures on bioreactors, TFF systems, single-use supplies, upstream and downstream processing, and practical workflows from development to manufacturing.
This page is designed as a curated resource center for teams working across research, process development and scale-up. It brings together TECNIC guides, technical materials and selected videos in a structure that is easier to explore, cite and understand.
Clear thematic clusters, crawlable links, practical summaries and direct access to deeper technical material.
Bioreactors, TFF, single-use systems, cleanroom manufacturing, case studies and downloadable documentation.

What is bioprocessing?
Bioprocessing is the use of living cells, microorganisms or biological systems to produce and recover valuable products under controlled conditions.
What is the difference between upstream and downstream processing?
Upstream processing focuses on cultivation and product generation, while downstream processing focuses on separation, concentration and purification.
What is a bioreactor used for?
A bioreactor provides the controlled environment needed for cell culture or microbial fermentation, including parameters such as temperature, pH, aeration and mixing.
What is a TFF system used for?
Tangential flow filtration is commonly used for concentration, diafiltration, clarification and separation in downstream bioprocessing.
Why are single-use systems important in bioprocessing?
They can reduce cleaning burden, shorten changeovers and support more flexible multiproduct manufacturing environments.
