INDUSTRY INSIGHTS
Didn’t catch us at ISPE Boston?
Here’s what happened on and off the field.
This year’s ISPE Boston Product Show took place somewhere unforgettable: the actual Patriots field at Gillette Stadium.
And in true Alphinity fashion, we didn’t just stand on the turf.
Our CEO, Dean Richards, lined up and kicked a clean, perfect field goal.
Why does that matter?
Because bioprocessing is the same:
precision, control, and consistency under pressure.
One small deviation changes everything — whether you’re aiming for the uprights or scaling a high-value biologics process.
A moment from ISPE Boston 2025: Alphinity CEO Dean Richards kicks a field goal on the Patriots field at Gillette Stadium — a fun reminder that precision, control, and consistency matter both on the field and in bioprocessing.
What we heard from YOU
(and what it tells us about the industry)
Across conversations with process engineers, CGT teams, and manufacturing leads, four themes came up again and again:
A renewed focus on low-shear, product-protective flow paths: Teams are increasingly concerned about hidden sources of shear, cavitation, and process stress.
Scale-up headaches are still real: Perfusion, harvest, TFF, and downstream purification behave beautifully in the lab — then change dramatically at volume.
The burden of validation isn’t going away: Speed matters, but documentation, traceability, and reliability matter more.
Customisation is back in demand: Standard assemblies aren’t enough. Teams want systems built around their process, not the other way around.
These continued conversations shaped how we showed up at ISPE — and why our split presence between Flow Control and Bespoke Systems resonated so strongly.
Two sides of the same vision: Flow Control + Bespoke Systems
Flow Control: Precision where it matters most
At the booth, we walked teams through our components engineered for:
low shear
predictable flow under real process conditions
faster validation cycles
scalable single-use and hybrid integrations
These aren’t just components.
They’re the starting point for more reliable, reproducible processing.
Bespoke Systems: Engineering built around your process
For teams designing new unit operations, scaling from R&D, or automating bottlenecks, our systems group showcased how we combine:
process-first design
configurable architecture
and integrated control
to build platforms that protect biologics from the first transfer to the final fill.
Together, these two worlds reflect our single mission:
protect the integrity of your biologic through smarter flow control and process-led engineering.
