PAT: Build Quality into Biopharmaceutical Process
with Real-Time Monitoring and Control
Process Analytical Technology (PAT) ensures quality in biopharmaceutical manufacturing by monitoring and controlling processes in real-time. It utilizes analytical tools to develop manufacturing processes that accommodate material and equipment variability. Once critical process parameters (CPPs) impacting critical quality attributes (CQAs) are identified, analytical methods are employed to monitor and control CPPs, maintaining them within the desired design space. This approach integrates quality by design (QbD) principles into the process rather than relying on product testing only in the end.
Automated Aseptic Sampling
Automated aseptic sampling is particularly well-suited for the development of upstream processes (USP) as it offers significant advantages for the collection of cell culture samples, but the technique can also be used in downstream processing (DSP) and microbial fermentation.
The benefits of automated aseptic sampling to process development are significant. With the usage of this PAT technique, a sample is taken from its source without manual intervention and is transported directly for analysis or storage, maintaining a closed, sterile sampling environment. Automated aseptic sampling is modality-agnostic and modular by design, offering flexible and customizable solutions in its implementation. This technology can also be combined with other PAT technologies, such as Raman spectroscopy, for the improved calibration and validation of data-driven models.
Compared to current off-line sampling and analytical procedures, automated aseptic sampling provides clear advantages including:
- Reduced contamination risk of the sample source
- Increased frequency and acquisition of process-representative data points
- Intensified turnaround times between experimentation and analytical action
- Minimized number of invariabilities associated with off-sample hold times and testing
- Decreased number of experiments required to make key process decisions
The MAST® Autosampling Solution is a versatile and modality-agnostic aseptic autosampling solution that ensures the direct collection, delivery, and analysis of samples from multiple sources without manual intervention, providing the user with more time to perform other value-added tasks.
