Figure 1: An appropriate fermentation scale-down model is critical to allow comparison of lab scale studies to the manufacturing case. Modeling of fermentors increases confidence that a fermentation process is scalable within the confines of available equipment and that the data acquired are an accurate representation of production fermentations. Modeling fermentation oxygen transfer between development scales of 1–100 L and production scales of 1,000–10,000 L+ has been extensively studied, and there are numerous approaches including P/V, KLa, and OUR models.…

    Profiling of impurities in biopharmaceuticals and their associated intermediates and excipients is a regulatory expectation. Since residuals are typically present at low levels in difficult sample matrices, development and validation of assays can be quite challenging (Figure 1). Matrix types can vary greatly due to the fact that sampling at a variety of process steps is required to accurately monitor throughout the production process. Figure 1: ()   Some residual impurities are introduced in the upstream steps as…

Fusion proteins are generating a lot of excitement these days because of their targeted use in therapeutic treatments of cancer, autoimmune diseases, and metabolic diseases. The webcast “Recent Trends In The Development and Manufacturing of Fusion Proteins As Therapeutics” examines the practical applications of fusion proteins and the challenges that manufacturers face. Created by joining two or more genes originally coded for separate proteins or protein domains, a fusion protein results in a single polypeptide that includes functional properties from…
