Insulin Improves Cell Growth and Influenza Yield in a HEK293 Suspension Cell Line
This webcast features: Aziza Manceur, Research Officer, National Research Council Canada To produce large quantities of vaccines in a rapid and cost-effective way is the main challenge that the vaccine industry is facing. Major changes to current bioprocesses are difficult to implement due to costs associated with the regulatory approval process. Therefore, we propose to use insulin, a protein currently used and approved in several processes and production platforms, as an additive to boost cell growth and viral production. The HEK293SF-3F6 cell…
Accelerating the Biotech Value Chain Through the Implementation of High-Throughput Technologies
This webcast features: Fredrik Nilsson, Director of Downstream Development, and Jesper Worm, PhD, Scientist, Department of Analytical Development, at CMC Biologics. In this webinar, the speakers discuss and analyze the use of high-throughput technologies to optimize timelines and deliver value within the upstream and downstream development processes, using Octet HTX platform technology. Over the past year, the experts at CMC Biologics have used this technology to deliver a significant number of titer data points, and residual protein data measurements. This…
Impact of Single-Use Tangential Flow Filtration in Downstream Bioprocessing
This webcast features: Michael LaBreck, Sales Director, Repligen TagenX Products Single-use solutions are fast becoming platform in bioprocessing as a response to pressure to optimize process economics and process efficiencies. Implementing single-use alternatives in tangential flow filtration (TFF), a critical step in downstream bioprocessing for concentration and diafiltration (buffer exchange), is a major part of this transformation. Repligen TangenX™ SIUS™ Single-use Cassettes are the first purpose-built cassettes designed for tangential flow filtration. This webinar will demonstrate how deploying these innovative…

Ask the Expert Enabling Custom Solutions for Downstream Processing of Future Therapies: An Adenoassociated Virus Case Study
with Orjana Terova Orjana Terova is a purification product manager in the bioproduction division of Thermo Fisher Scientific. In a BPI webinar on 9 December 2016, she discussed the company’s custom resin program for purification of biological products. Thermo Fisher Scientific has dedicated a pilot-plant facility for this program. Terova’s Presentation Speed is the main development driver in downstream processing, but quality and efficiency are always critical. Purification processes need the highest resolution, capacity, salt tolerance, and operation speed possible.…
Improving Protein Folding Control and Scalability Using imPULSE Mixing Technology
This webcast features: Anthony Hawrylechko, Director of Microbial Bioprocess, Cytovance Protein folding by dilution is a common approach used in the manufacturing of biologics derived from microbial expression systems. This typically involves the solubilization of a washed inclusion body preparation containing the concentrated product polypeptide with a strong chaotrope or detergent solution. The denatured, inactive product solution is then diluted into a combination pH and red/ox buffer solution. Within this environment, the molecular diffusion rates of chaotrope, buffer components, and…
Effective Deployment of OPUS Pre-Packed Chromatography Columns for Bench-Scale Process Development and Process Validation
This webcast features: Tim Schroeder, Director, Product Management at Repligen GmbH Formerly Atoll pre-packed columns, OPUS® pre-packed chromatography columns for process development are used in all steps of downstream development, including screening, process validation and viral clearance, scale up and sample preparation. This webcast will demonstrate how OPUS® ValiChrom Columns, glass pre-packed columns that are exact scale-down models of corresponding full-scale chromatography columns, are ideal for process validation including viral clearance.
