In biopharmaceutical manufacturing, every wetted surface — from reactors to chromatography columns — plays a vital role in ensuring product purity, process reliability, and regulatory compliance. Selecting the right material is a key decision that impacts both performance and cost.

Manufacturers often face two options:
-High-performance alloys that offer superior durability and resistance.
-Common stainless steels that may require additional protective measures.

How does your organization approach material selection in critical applications?
