Continuous Chromatography of MAbs Using BioSC: Process Design and Regulatory Considerations

by

This webcast features: Vincent Monchois, Strategic Project Director, Biopharma, Novasep Challenges in bio-manufacturing up to commercial stage include improving lead times, securing the process, improving productivity, and reducing COGs. The implementation of a continuous manufacturing process is a viable solution to address these challenges. The chromatography step represents one of the key stages of a manufacturing process for (bio)pharmaceutical compounds. Continuous chromatography was originally developed by the Petroleum industry in the 1960s and has been successfully implemented in the Food-processing…

Acceleration of Bioprocess Development Using DoE and Physiological Control

by

This webcast features: Professor Christoph Herwig, Department of Biochemical Engineering, Vienna University of Technology Bioprocess Development for biotechnological high value added products is still a time consuming task. The reason for this is the high complexity of interdependence between process variables, product quality attributes and process parameters. The demonstration of understanding these interdependencies is however key to achieve regulatory acceptance according to Quality by Design (QbD) principles. Hence, it is important to set up senseful experiments and to gather as…

How to Boost Profits with Single-Use Powder Transfer

by

This webcast features: Chris Rombach, Director of Global Strategic Accounts, ILC Dover Biopharmaceutical manufacturers face a number of challenges. Open-suite biopharma manufacturing is gaining popularity. But it also leaves surfaces open to contamination, workers at risk for exposure to airborne particulates, and processes more exposed to product loss due to waste or spillage. Liquid handling systems adapted for dry powder applications are often a compromise, because liquid and powder flow rates, handling characteristics and dispensing volumes differ dramatically. A purpose-built,…

Modification of Glycans in Bioprocessing

by

This webcast features: Ryan Boniface, R&D Scientist, Thermo Fisher Scientific Protein quality is a topic of increasing importance as quality elements can have a significant impact on clinical behavior of a molecule. This talk will explore approaches to modify glycan patterns contribute to predicting, achieving and maintaining preferred glycosylation profiles. Glycosylation is a key product quality attribute for many biotherapeutic proteins expressed in CHO cells. N-linked glycans may display macro- and micro-heterogeneity; the degree of this variation can depend on…

Eliminating the Ups and Downs of Staffing Challenges

by

This webcast features: Beth DiPaolo, M.A., SPHR, President, Eurofins Lancaster Laboratories Professional Scientific ServicesSM Many pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies are currently experiencing strong development pipelines, but they face challenges associated with balancing the expanded workloads with restrictions on employee headcounts. To combat this, companies often turn to temporary staffing; however, due to the challenges in finding, training, and retaining motivated talent, the temporary staffing model does not meet current demands in these areas. As an expert with 14 years of…

Single-Use Biopharma Product Recycling: An Alternative Process to Unlock the Challenges

by

This webcast features: Jacqueline Hollands Ignacio, Corporate Responsibility Programs Manager – Customer Initiatives, MilliporeSigma, and Michael Farrell is Corporate Disposal Coordinator, Triumvirate Environmental. As the biopharmaceutical industry increases the adoption of single-use manufacturing products, the issue of recycling becomes a challenge. Disposal and recycling the plastics from these products is a challenging task due to many factors such as limitations within the recycling infrastructure, products containing a mix of materials and plastics, and biopharmaceutical products can contain biologically hazardous materials…

High Performance Cell Retention Technology for Cell Culture Process Intensification

by

This webcast features: Millie Ullah, PhD, Associate Director of Upstream Product Management and Marketing, Repligen The move toward continuous processing and intensified processes is a paradigm shift in bioproduction. In upstream cell culture, the challenge is to simplify and minimize process steps (N-1 perfusion) while intensifying cell retention and viability (high density cell expansion). This webcast will present a case study where use of the ATF cell retention system in process intensification of a fed-batch culture resulted in successful N-1…
