Scalable Technologies For Process Intensification In The Continuous Biomanufacturing Factories Of The Future, Gerben Zijlstra
Integrated Continuous Biomanufacturing III
Continuous and intensified bioprocessing is attracting much attention from biopharmaceutical companies seeking to maximize the efficiency of their manufacturing assets. Continuous and intensified bioprocessing promises smaller facilities, reduced scale-up risk, more consistent product quality and higher throughputs. However, there are still many (technical) challenges for practical implementation of intensified and continuous bioprocesses. In the upstream processing, tools for high throughput intensified and continuous cell culture development are limited, furthermore at 2000 L scale many single use bioreactors may not be suitable to support the high cell densities required for intensified processing. Furthermore, current cell retention systems are expensive, suffer from …
