Efficient Optimization of CHO Cell Culture Medium and Feed for Increased Antibody Production

Traditional medium optimization strategies are labor intensive, costly, and time consuming. In this project, high-throughput screening technology was adopted along with statistical design to reduce costs and decrease time for optimizing culture conditions for maximized antibody production from a custom Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell clone. The presented work includes two phases: phase 1 for basal medium optimization and phase 2 for feed optimization. Phase 1 and phase 2 each have two rounds. A DoE screening methodology was used to…

Thermo Scientific HyClone Cell Boost Process Supplements

          Major drivers in biopharmaceutical development and manufacturing include improved performance in bioprocess cell culture through increased cell viability, product quality, and yield. Success has been achieved in addressing these drivers using Thermo Scientific HyClone Cell Boost by providing solutions that include strategic supplementation of nutrients based on metabolic profiling of cells and media at various stages of the bioprocessing cell culture campaign. One of the greatest improvements is derived from increased viable cell concentration and…
