Abstract

 

Transferring a biologic candidate from the research and development phase to commercial production usually requires increasing the working volume of the upstream bioprocess. During scale-up, process performance optimized at small scale needs to be reproduced at larger scales, ideally without much need for process optimization at large working volumes. This requires reproducing the quality of the seed culture and the cells’ growth environment across scales.

To streamline scale-up, bioengineers commonly use bioreactors with similar geometries at all scales and keep one or more parameters constant between vessels of different sizes, such as kLa, power input per volume or tip speed. Therefore, to design a scale-up strategy, data on scale-up-relevant engineering parameters need to be available for each bioreactor planned to be used. These parameters include vessel geometries, power numbers, and oxygen transfer capabilities.

In this webinar we showcase scale-up of an antibody production process in CHO cells from bench to pilot/production scale. We discuss strategies to prepare seed cultures of reproducible quality in shake flasks. We demonstrate a new concept for software-aided scale-up strategy design, which considers vessel parameters of differently sized Eppendorf BioBLU® Single-Use Vessels and Thermo™ HyPerforma™ Single-Use Bioreactors

 

Target group:

  •  Lab managers and research scientists interested in scaling-up their upstream cell culture bioprocess from bench to pilot/production scale
  • Lab managers and research scientists interested in single-use solutions for upstream bioprocessing

 

Learning objectives:

  • Get to know a bioprocess workflow from shaker to pilot scale.
  • Discuss scale-up strategies used in cell culture bioprocessing
  • Learn, how the scale-up assist software feature of the new BioFlo 720 bioprocess control station can support scale-up strategy design
  • See the benefits of scalable single-use bioreactors for cell culture bioprocessing from bench to pilot/production scale
