FAQs

Does the Biotechnology Sector use Glass Lined Equipment?

Yes, the biotechnology sector widely uses glass lined equipment due to its excellent chemical resistance, product purity, and cleanability. Many biotechnological processes involve sensitive biological materials, corrosive media, or strict contamination controls, all of which benefit from the inert and non-reactive nature of glass lining. The smooth, non-porous glass surface prevents product adherence and microbial growth, supports effective sterilisation and CIP/SIP procedures, and ensures consistent batch quality. Combined with the strength of the steel substrate, glass lined equipment provides a reliable and long-lasting solution for reactors and vessels used in demanding biotechnology applications.

What is Biotechnology?

Biotechnology is the use of living organisms, biological systems, or their components to develop products and processes that benefit industry, medicine, and society. It combines biology with engineering and technology to create solutions such as pharmaceuticals, vaccines, diagnostics, and industrial enzymes, as well as applications in agriculture, food production, and environmental management. By harnessing natural biological processes and enhancing them through scientific innovation, biotechnology enables the efficient, scalable, and controlled production of high-value products that would be difficult or impossible to produce by traditional chemical methods alone.

How is Biotechnology used in the Medical Sector?

Biotechnology is used extensively in the medical sector to develop innovative treatments, diagnostics, and preventative therapies that improve patient care and outcomes. It enables the production of vaccines, antibiotics, and biologic drugs such as insulin, monoclonal antibodies, and gene therapies through controlled biological processes. Biotechnology is also central to advanced diagnostic techniques, including genetic testing and molecular diagnostics, which allow for earlier and more accurate disease detection. In addition, it supports personalised medicine by tailoring treatments to an individual’s genetic profile, helping healthcare providers deliver more effective and targeted medical solutions.
