Nearly every production stage in biopharmaceutical manufacturing depends on highly purified water systems that must consistently meet strict regulatory standards. Why are water quality standards important in biopharmaceutical manufacturing? Biopharmaceutical facilities generally rely on two primary types of purified water. Purified water (PW) is commonly used in nonsterile pharmaceutical manufacturing and equipment cleaning processes. Water…

Niowave announced today that it broke ground on a new $75 million production facility in Lansing, Michigan. The isotope manufacturing plant significantly expands the company’s manufacturing footprint and strengthens the domestic supply of Actinium‑225 (Ac‑225), a critical isotope used in next‑generation targeted cancer therapies. The isotope supports targeted cancer therapies designed to destroy cancer cells…
