DOWNSTREAM PROCESSING WHITE PAPERS & CASE STUDIES

• Comparability Of The Cell-Freeze® (Charter Medical) Freezing Bag To The Cryocyte™ (Baxter) Bag For Cryogenic Storage Of Human Hematopoietic Progenitor Cells Successful cryopreservation of hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPC) is dependent upon a number of factors, including the biopreservation media, freezing rates, and storage using sterile, cryogenically durable storage bags. The Cell-Freeze® cryogenic storage containers are 510(k) cleared for storage, preservation and transfer of hematopoietic progenitor stem cells (HPC’s). By Charter Medical, Ltd.
• USP <787> Small Volume Testing With Liquid Particle Counters

  By their very nature, biological therapeutics are not only expensive to manufacture but are often produced in small volumes.

• 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).

• Guidelines For Proper Filtration And Delivery Of Samples To On-Line Process Analyzers

  Increasingly precise process control strategies, often linked to computer control, have accelerated the use of sophisticated on-line chemical composition analyzers in plant applications. Instruments such as gas and liquid chromatographs, ion chromatographs, laser optic instruments, atomic absorption instruments and specific ion analyzers, which were rarities in laboratories ten years ago, are now found routinely in plant settings.

• Selecting The Optimal Resins For The Process Purification Of Native And Recombinant Proteins

  Native and recombinant proteins are used in a variety of applications ranging from drug discovery to target validation to high-throughput screening. Due to this, large-scale protein production and purification have become major necessities in industrial settings.

• Met One Sensors Resistant To Vaporous Hydrogen Peroxide (VHP) Pharmaceutical manufacturers often require an aseptic production environment to minimize the presence of microbes and their potential contamination of the manufactured product.
