In the spirit of implementing PAT (Process Analytical Technology), biopharmaceutical companies are striving to gain a more fundamental understanding of what is happening to the cells within their bioreactors. Implementation of online tools like Raman and Dielectric Spectroscopy are helping to provide insight, yet there is still a gap integrating this data with off-line measurements such as cell density, viability, metabolite levels and titer. Bend Research, in collaboration with major biopharmaceutical companies, is working to advance MAST, a modular, automated sampling platform that can provide samples directly from bioreactors to analytical devices, while maintaining process sterility. In this webcast, Clint Pepper, Ph.D. and Lisa Graham Ph.D., P.E. of Bend Research focus on this overall cell-level “observability” concept and illustrate how the MAST platform is incorporated.

For small scale vial filling operations the FLT features an ideal platform. With the ability to automatically fill, stopper, and cap most common vials with minimal size parts and a user friendly control system the FLT has the features big machine features in a compact package. The mobile cart and standard utility requirements the FLT can be utilized by several different users in a lab situation. The FLT can be used with a peristaltic pump, or a rolling diaphragm dosing system, both of which are available as a single use option from the Bosch PreVAS dosing system family. Utilizing an automated system reduces filling error and product loss in comparison to manual filling operations, reduced operator fatigue and improved productivity without adding headcount.

If you could start with a blank sheet of paper, what would your biomanufacturing operation look like? Robust, adaptable, cost-effective and efficient probably come to mind, but how do you get there?

From selection of a cell line to release of the first clinical batch, product and process developers make decisions that have timeline, financial, and regulatory consequences. As contract manufacturing becomes the norm rather than the exception in our industry, it is important that a Sponsor and CMO make the best use of each other’s expertise for maximum benefit to product and patients. In this presentation, Dr. George Koch, Chief Scientific Officer for Contract Manufacturing and Director of Project Management with Fujifilm Diosynth Biotechnologies, provides insight into:

• Selecting a CMO
• Process and Method Development
• The First Tox Lots
• The First Clinical Lots
