Clamp-On Flow Meters for Process Monitoring

Process monitoring entails systematic recording or measurement of an operation or process by means of technical aids. Repeated, regular execution is a central element of that activity. Statistical process control and management help to optimize and stabilize processes. They also ensure appropriate monitoring of threshold values. Ultrasound-based clamp-on flow meters are ideal measuring methods for that purpose because they enable data collection without requiring operators or equipment to intervene in a process. Noncontact flow sensors also combine high precision with…

The Way Forward in Therapeutic Antibody Purification

by BPI Contributor

This webcast features: Dr. Anna Le Bris, Senior Application Specialist and Trainer, Thermo Fisher The development of therapeutic antibodies has made an enormous progression in the last decades. Antibodies have become the predominant class of biological drugs and are used to treat a variety of diseases such as cancer. Recently, neutralizing antibodies to halt infectious diseases are entering the clinical pipeline, including against Sars-Cov2. Affinity purification platforms such as Protein A or L are well established in the manufacturing process…

Achieve Best-in-Class Purification with the Avantor J.T.Baker BAKERBOND PROchievA Resin

by Jungmin Oh

There is an established, global pipeline of existing and upcoming monoclonal antibody (MAb) drugs that treat a wide variety of clinical indications. In MAb manufacturing, protein A chromatography is a proven downstream purification process, but there remains a need to reduce total costs while improving purity and yield. The Avantor J.T.Baker BAKERBOND PROchievA recombinant protein A chromatography resin advances the production of MAbs by providing different choices to biopharmaceutical supply chains. Offered both as a bulk resin and as prepackaged…

Exploring On-Column mAb Aggregate Formation and Self-Generated On-Column pH Gradients with Cation Exchange Resins

by BPI Contributor

This webcast features: William H. Rushton, Process Chromatography Support Scientist, Bio-Rad Laboratories The formation of aggregates is a common occurrence during monoclonal antibody (mAb) purification and can happen for several reasons. Aggregates are undesirable due to the possibility of altered pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, and/or increased immunogenicity. Generally, the formation of aggregates is shown to be product or process related. A high-resolution cation exchange (CEX) resin, Nuvia HR-S, has been shown to reduce aggregate content with high monomer recovery. In this webcast,…

Scalable, Real-Time Bioprocess Monitoring Solution: Kaiser Raman Technology and Sartorius BioPAT Spectro Yield Value from Early Process Development to Single-Use Manufacturing

by Maryann Cuellar

Raman spectroscopy is used in biomanufacturing as a process analytical technology (PAT) tool for making rapid, nondestructive, in-process measurements. However, Raman data collection at early stages of bioprocess development has been a challenge because of the lack of interface to bioreactors <250 mL. Realizing the industry was struggling to capitalize on the full potential of Raman spectroscopy, Kaiser Optical Systems, Inc. (Kaiser), an Endress+Hauser company, collaborated with Sartorius to bring Raman to Ambr 15 microbioreactors (10–15 mL) and Ambr 250…

Take Complexity and Risk Out of Regulatory Compliance

by Chantale Julien

Novo Nordisk Pharmatech’s high-purity, nontherapeutic insulin is sourced directly from the Novo Nordisk parent company, the world’s largest insulin producer. The product consists of insulin human crystals that are biosynthetically produced by recombinant microbial expression in yeast. Insulin human AF stimulates the proliferation of cells and enhances the yield, and it is a key component in serum-free growth media for mammalian cells. Insulin human AF is used for manufacturing monoclonal antibodies, virus vaccines, gene therapies, and other biological drug products…

Evaluate Cell Therapy Product Purity with Aura CL

by BPI Contributor

The CAR-T development workflow is a multi-step process that includes transfection of T cells with a viral vector to express a chimeric antigen and activation/expansion of the CAR-T using a molecule like a Dynabead conjugated to CD3/CD28. Each of these steps is a potential source of contamination that needs to be removed to ensure the purity of the final cell therapy product. Aura CL™ applies multiple detection methods to facilitate the accurate detection and identification of contaminants in a CAR-T…

Tailoring the Cell Line Development Process to the Specific Molecule and Program Goals

by BPI Staff

Presented by: Gregory Bleck, PhD, vice president, Catalent Biologics Speed and efficiency remain major drivers for developers bringing their protein-based biologics to first-in-human studies. The right cell-line development approach can help streamline a path to clinic for both standard monoclonal antibodies and more complex modalities such as bispecifics. Bleck shared recent data on how the GPEx suite of technologies provides for high titers, short timelines, and flexibility in cell-line development for mammalian-expressed proteins. He began by explaining that protein therapeutics can…

A Multifunctional Single-Use Purification System for Connected and Integrated Continuous Processing

by BPI Staff

Presented by: Charles Heise, PhD, senior staff scientist, bioprocessing and development, Fujifilm Diosynth Biotechnologies Heise focused his presentation on the SymphonX single-use purification system and its role in continuous bioprocessing for the downstream processing of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs). He described how the system enhances the company’s MaruX continuous purification platform. The company sought to meet the requirements of both batch and continuous processing, for which the single-use approach requires different flow paths, presents complex process integration across diverse vendor systems,…
