DoE Helps Optimize a Cell Culture Bioproduction System

    Typical serum-free culture media used in bioprocessing can have 60–90 components at differing concentrations to feed a single cell line. Media used to grow different cell lines for bioprocessing applications may each require unique optimal chemical formulations. Adding complexity, optimal process conditions such as pH and stirring rate may also differ from cell line to cell line depending on the unique characteristics of process performance. To tackle all those variables, we at Invitrogen Corporation of Carlsbad, CA (www.invitrogen.com/pddirect)…
