Biological reactivity requirements for consumables are changing significantly effective December 2026. With the long-planned implementation of the first USP chapter specifically written for consumables – and consequential revisions to USP <87> and <88> – the Class VI plastics designation will no longer serve as the baseline requirement for single-use component materials used in bioprocess applications. These changes will require updates to supplier practices, certificates, and supporting documentation. End-user specification practices will benefit from alignment with these new and revised USP chapters. In this BPSA webinar, learn more about these changes—and what they mean for single-use suppliers and end-users moving forward.
