SPONSOR

Webinar: Defined Media, Defined Results: Scaling E. coli from Bench to Fermenter

Microbial systems power plasmid DNA and recombinant protein production, but scaling introduces variability. This webinar explores how chemically defined media can improve performance, reproducibility, and animal-origin-free workflows. Experts share beta-test results from E. coli cultures using defined formulations, plus practical insights on integrating them into workflows and scaling from experiments to fermenter production for reliable manufacturing outcomes. Click here to learn more.

FOCUS ON UPSTREAM MANUFACTURING

The Importance Of Process Locks To Align Upstream And Downstream

In this closing segment from the Bioprocess Online Live event, the panelists emphasize the importance of periodic process locks to ensure alignment between upstream and downstream development teams. These locks are critical, says Eric Doerr, a manufacturing lead at Sanofi, because they allow both upstream and downstream to have a better understanding of the process and keep them on the same page.
