DOWNSTREAM PROCESSING WHITE PAPERS & CASE STUDIES

• Biomanufacturing Debottlenecking And Process Optimization

  Optimizing biomanufacturing is particularly challenging because of variability and complexity associated with the sharing of finite and interdependent resources. By BIO-G

• Single-Use Connections Advance Aseptic Processing

  John Boehm discusses how single-use connections advance aseptic processing and create increased process flexibility and reliability while reducing costs.

• Continuous Biomanufacturing: 10 Reasons Sponsors Hesitate

  The industry is abuzz with talk about continuous biomanufacturing (CB), and its virtues have been well described. Here we will look at some of the barriers or concerns perceived to limit its value to the industry. Justified or not, quite a few concerns have been expressed regarding the implementation of this new, rather disruptive technology. 

• Effect Of Sterilization On Mechanical Properties Of Silicone Rubbers

  Silicone rubber is widely used in the pharmaceutical industry where sterilizability is an essential requirement for all fluid transfer equipment. Pharmaceutical products must be sterilized frequently and repeatedly by high level energy and/or chemical vapor in order to eliminate bacterial surface contamination.

• Optimized Purity And Recovery Of A Monoclonal Antibody Using Mixed-Mode Chromatography Media

  Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) remain a predominant class of therapeutic protein products on the market because of their wide range of applications in disease treatment and diagnosis. Over the years, upstream technology advancements have helped improve the titer of target antibodies, from merely 1 g/L two decades ago to 10–13 g/L in fed-batch processes and up to 25 g/L in perfusion cultures today (Gronemeyer et al. 2014).

• Accelerating Biopharmaceutical Development From DNA To Drug

  In the last decade, single-use solutions for virtually every bioprocess unit have been developed, and considerable investments have been made by the industry into areas that underpin this technology.
