Due to the diverse and unique properties of stainless-steel alloys, it has become an indispensable material in the field of modern medicine. These characteristics include:
• good corrosion resistance to body fluids
• biocompatibility
• excellent strength-to-weight ratio
• fatigue resistance
• low magnetic susceptibility

The following materials are commonly used steel in the shipbuilding field

Despite the diverse requirements of the equipment in the medical field, the scale of each production is drastically scaled down in quantity and size. Therefore, a more flexible production process is required to respond to changes in demand more quickly. One new product that requires attentionis a disposable bioreactor, which is a container for cultivating organisms (yeast, bacteria, or animal cells) under controlled conditions.They are usually made of 304L (UNS S30403) stainless steel (because the disposable liner of the container needs to be in contact with the product) and are increasingly used in the production process of the biopharmaceutical industry to produce biological drugs, vaccines, antibodies, cells and gene therapy and biosimilars.
As the demand for small batch production of new drugs and chemicals continues to grow, the use of disposable bioreactors has made flexible production and small systems more practical and applicable. Due to the advantages of reducing the workload of cleaning and steam disinfection, reducing the cost of water and electricity, flexible facility design and improving capital efficiency, disposable bioreactors can set up more factories in emerging markets to achieve distributed production.
