Gram Scale Antibody Production Using CHO Cell Transient Gene Expression (TGE) via Flow Electroporation

MaxCyte flow electroporation provides a universal means of fully scalable, highly efficient CHO-based TGE for the rapid production of gram to multi-gram level s of antibodies without the need for specialized reagents, expression vectors, or engineered CHO cell lines. In this technical note, we present data demonstrating the reproducibility, scalability, and antibody production capabilities of MaxCyte electroporation. Secreted antibody titers routinely exceed 400 mg/L and can exceed 1gram/L following optimization, thereby enabling multi-gram antibody production from a single, CHO cell transfection. In addition, we present data showing the use of MaxCyte electroporation for the rapid generation of high-yield stable CHO cell lines to bridge the gap between early and late stage antibody development activities.

Has Your Current LIMS Implementation Been a Nightmare?

Because current traditional LIMS have not delivered on their promise, many organizations are still searching for solutions to optimize their laboratory operations. For those engaged in deploying traditional LIMS, frequent sleep-disturbing issues include poor flexibility and configurability, expensive and time-consuming customization, difficulties extending and upgrading systems, poor usability, lack of modular functionality, poor service/support, problems integrating with existing instrumentation/IT systems and extra time and resources required to meet critical qualification/compliance requirements. Learn how you can avoid the top 5 LIMS nightmares and rest easier with today’s next-generation process and execution-centric LIMS.

Polishing of Monoclonal Antibodies Using Captoâ„¢ adhere ImpRes in Bind and Elute Mode

MAbs and MAb conjugates are today in great demand for use as biopharamaceuticals. As a result, more cost-effective, efficient, and flexible process purification schemes are one of the highest priorities for MAb manufacturers. In this work, results from two case studies using Capto adhere ImpRes, a multimodal anion exchanger designed for polishing, are presented. Two different MAbs were purified in bind and elute mode. The results show high yields of MAb monomers, good clearance of aggregates, HCP, and leached protein…

Going Paperless from Lab to Plant

The drive to “go paperless†is a strategic initiative that offers demonstrable operational benefits in improving productivity, reducing cycle times and leveraging experimental and operational data along the entire research-development-manufacturing continuum.

The “early health†Vision

New approaches to vaccine production are needed. GE Healthcare Life Sciences contributes to the “early health†vision by supporting advances in vaccine development through innovative manufacturing solutions that help to shorten time-to-market, increase output, and assure quality.

A New Mixed-Mode Resin for Large Scale Biomolecule Purification

Chromatographic resins with high capacities and selectivities differing from those seen with traditional hydrophobic interaction and ion exchange media are now in demand. Mixed-mode chromatography media is an alternative. Some mixed-mode resins combine both traditional hydrophobic interaction and ion exchange media. This poster introduces TOYOPEARL® MX-Trp-650M, a high-capacity weak cation mixed-mode resin for the purification of biomolecules. The polymethacrylic base bead was chemically modified with the amino acid tryptophan which combines a weak cationic group with a hydrophobic functional group.…

AbSolute® High Cap by Novasep: Revolutionary Protein A Media

Novasep has developed AbSolute® High Cap, an optimized silica-based protein A media for the capture of monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies. This protein A media is adapted to all fermentation volumes while offering the highest dynamic and static binding capacities (DBC10% ≥ 60 mg/mL, SBC ≥ 95 mg/mL) and, as a result, high productivities at all velocities. By decreasing the amount of resin required to downstream a feed (30-50% less), AbSolute® High Cap enhances the robustness of the protein A capture…

Characterization of a Biomanufacturing Fermentation Process Using a New DOE Approach: Definitive Screening Designs

Traditionally, a bioprocess is characterized using a two-step approach involving factor screening designs followed by response surface designs. This approach is very costly and time consuming since it requires a significant number of runs. Recently, Jones and Nachtscheim (2011) described a more efficient design that allows for factor screening, resolution of two-way interactions as well as estimation of quadratic effects in a single-step. The design, termed Definitive Screening has not yet been validated on a bioprocess. Here, traditional and Definitive…
