Increased Selection Criteria for Production Media

by

Operators of biotechnology facilities are facing an increase in selection criteria for production media – new ICH and FDA imperatives, new analytics and monitoring, platform production initiatives and more. In this on-demand webcast, William Whitford of Thermo Scientific discusses:

• Reasons for the Increase in Selection Criteria
• Particular Criteria Discovered by Thermo Fisher Scientific
• Application of how Criteria can be Resolved

Join Whitford as he introduces two studies performed at Thermo Scientific that demonstrate how selection criteria can be solved and resolved to provide transparency and ease for biotechnology and bio production operators.

Moving to the Next Level of Technology

by

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.

Advancing Cell Culture-Based Biopharmaceutical Programs using Metabolomics

by

Metabolomics is an approach for obtaining insight into the metabolism of a population of cells in a culture environment. As such, it has had particular utility in the area of upstream bioprocess optimization of biopharmaceuticals. In this on-demand educational webcast, Kirk Beebe of Metabolon illustrates the many uses of metabolomics for various bioprocessing activities, including:

• Cell Line Development/Clone Selection
• Targets for Pathway Engineering
• Media Development
• Process Optimization & Scale-up
• And more.

Join Beebe as he provides a deeper understanding of metabolomics technology and how it is helping to advance cell culture-based biopharmaceutical programs.
