The protein manufacturing industry faces many challenges today – large stainless steel bioreactors cause downstream processing bottlenecks and come with a large footprint and high CAPEX. To address these challenges, DSM Biologics has developed the XD® Process Technology. This proprietary technology uses disposable systems to simplify the downstream process and lower CAPEX. In this on-demand webcast, Rolf Douwenga, Vice President of Global Research and Development for DSM Biologics, discusses:

• Issues Facing Protein Manufacturing Industry
• How DSM Addresses These Issues
• In-depth Explanation of XD Process Technology

Join Douwenga as he details several case studies using XD Process Technology to enable a more flexible and simplified downstream process.

FlexFactory from Xcellerex is a biomanufacturing platform that is transforming the way the biotechnology industry approaches drug production. Built almost exclusively around disposables technology, each unit operation within the FlexFactory is self-contained in its own controlled environment module (CEM), effectively shrinking the cleanroom around each operation.

In this on-demand webcast, Parrish Galliher, Founder & Chief Technical Officer of Xcellerex, demonstrates how the FlexFactory eliminates the need for expensive clean-room facilities and CIP/SIP infrastructure, resulting in:
• Reduction in Capital Investment by 50% or More
• 70% Reduction in Start-up Time
• 55% Reduction of Carbon Footprint
• Major reduction of Water Consumption
• Increased Flexibility

FlexFactory is the only biomanufacturing platform that delivers the speed and capital efficiency of the CMO approach with the control and long-term economics of company-controlled manufacturing. View this webcast to gain an in-depth understanding of the benefits of this innovative technology.

This webcast will describe the key steps in developing a CHO culture process for manufacturing a follow-on biologic. Analytical characterization of 14 lots of the commercial product provided information about the range in key product quality attributes of the marketed drug. The scientists at SP-Diosynth have developed a process that yields a product that is analytically comparable to the commercially available molecule. Product quality attributes investigated were aggregation, acidic and basic variants, galactose, sialic acid and fucose content, and complement dependent cytotoxicity activity.

Scalability of the process was demonstrated in 100L stainless steel bioreactors and a 50L single use bioreactor (SUB). The webcast shows SP-Dionsyth’s data indicated that the process generates high titer at scale consistently while achieving product quality similar to the commercial material.

With this on-demand webcast, you will gain valuable insight into aspects of SP-Disoyth’s process development, such as:

• Cell Line Characteristics
• Scalability
• Manufacturability
• Comparability
• Commercializability

The webcast features Sigma S. Mostafa, Ph.D.

A new paradigm of microbial strain development has been achieved that overcomes today’s slow, iterative and error-prone process through the use of a novel, streamlined, high throughput platform. The P. fluorescens expression platform, Pfēnex Expression Technology™, reliably delivers host strains expressing large amounts of high quality target protein within very short development times. In this webcast, Dr. Charles H. Squires, Head of Discovery R&D at Pfēnex Inc., discusses:

• An Overview of Pfēnex Expression Technology™
• How Pfēnex Inc. Practices the Technology
• Case Studies Highlighting the Power of the Technology
• Product Areas
• Further Uses of Pfēnex Expression Technology™in Development

Join Dr. Squires as he illustrates how the combination of technologies available through the Pfēnex Expression Technology™system make it the most complete, flexible and productive bacterial strain development and biopharmaceutical production platform available today.
