This webcast features: Romain Dabre, Senior Product Manager, Tosoh Bioscience Downstream processing is responsible for up to 80% of the entire production costs of biotherapeutics. Given the current drive to reduce manufacturing costs for biological therapeutics, streamlining downstream processing is necessary for chromatographers and process engineers. In this presentation, we showcase the benefits of using only two chromatography processes to purify monoclonal antibodies compared to the standard industrial process. Combining high-performance Protein A capturing and a single polishing step on salt-tolerant…

This webcast features: Sherri Dolan, Global Technology Consultant, Separations Marketing Group, Sartorius Stedim Biotech The risk of viral contamination is a concern for all biopharmaceuticals and vaccines derived from cell lines and can have serious implications. Contamination events can cost millions of dollars in investigation, clean-up, corrective action, and manufacturing plant downtime. Most importantly, such events pose a safety risk to the patient. To ensure the safety of biological products, regulatory agencies require manufacturing processes to have a validated current…

This webcast features: David Serway, Global Director, Single-Use TFF Systems and ProConnex® Flow Paths, Repligen The explosive growth in biologics and gene therapies, the globalization of biomanufacturing, and the pressures to reduce capital investment and cost of goods while accelerating speed to market all point to changes in how bioprocessing systems/skids are designed, built, and operated. Future hardware, software, and consumables built on the principle of flexibility and extensive use of single-use, closed, complete, and ready-to-operate technologies will be described.…

This webcast features: Dan Yukon, Head of North American Sales and Global Sales of SNAP Products, Astrea Bioseparations This presentation will outline various selection criteria when considering glass fast protein liquid chromatography (FPLC) columns for low-pressure chromatography. The topics will include: pressure and volume considerations column configuration (aspect ratio) materials of construction frit type, design porosity, and mounting connection types adjustability construction accuracy packing tube design storage. There are many types and brands of columns available on the market, and…

The webcast features: Laurens Sierkstra, Senior Director, Business Leader Purification, Thermo Fisher Scientific Advances in biotherapeutics are generating an increasing range of complex molecules that present unique and often complex purification challenges. Affinity chromatography can serve as a platform solution for the purification of these challenging molecule modalities. An effective affinity resin can help to simplify biomolecule purification, reduce the number of purification steps, and reduce the overall cost of goods in biotherapeutic manufacturing. By taking advantage of antibody-based selectivity, camelid…
