Final Remarks and Technology Outlook

The immediate effect of these improvements in product yield is a dramatic decrease in the cost of manufacturing. However, it also means that in order to match this performance, recovery and purification operations 

The use of Process Analytical Technology (PAT) to fully characterize and control the manufacturing process may enable the biotechnology industry in the not too distant future to produce these complex molecules as cheaply and efficiently as traditional small molecule drugs.
