Biopharmaceutical developers and manufacturers need efficient, productive upstream processes that deliver high quality monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and other types of recombinant proteins. Process intensification, including intensified fed-batch and perfusion processes, can future-proof their manufacturing strategies, reduce costs, and increase facility flexibility.

With a full suite of solutions designed to support the increased demands of intensified upstream processes and technical support from teams with years of experience, we can help you realize the benefits of upstream process intensification without compromising clinical milestones or speed to market.

Production and Harvest Intensification

A holistic approach to optimize productivity, process efficiency, and product quality is essential for upstream process intensification. The BioContinuum™ Production and Harvest Platform enables manufacturers to successfully develop and scale up their perfusion processes. It includes:

Perfusion Process Development

Continuous upstream processes require optimization of cell productivity, perfusion rates, cell bleed strategies, and cell retention methods to maximize efficiency, yield, and quality. The operational complexity of perfusion-based processes can be managed easily with technologies supporting efficient exploration of the process design space and in-depth technical advice from experienced experts. The BioContinuum™ Production and Harvest Platform simplifies perfusion process development and enables manufacturers to develop their mAb processes with confidence. With high-performing cell culture reagents and bioreactors designed for perfusion processing, process developers can ensure they have a strong foundation for their next-generation upstream processes. Process recommendations, application studies, and technical guidance enable a seamless transition into larger scales.

Perfusion Manufacturing

As biopharmaceutical manufacturers transition from small-scale to commercial production, bioreactor and cell retention filter design play a central role in the upstream process. While a robust process developed at smaller scales is a critical first step, biopharmaceutical manufacturers also need to trust that their process performance remains robust and can be implemented at larger scales. Well-characterized systems and cell retention devices, as well as implementation of engineering best practices in system design, reduce uncertainty in scale-up. With purpose-built bioreactors and cell retention systems designed for scalability, the BioContinuum™ Production and Harvest Platform helps manufacturers scale up their perfusion processes confidently into clinical and commercial manufacturing.
