Abstract
AbstractProcess intensification has been widely used for many years in the mammalian biomanufacturing industry to increase productivity, agility and flexibility while reducing production costs. The most commonly used intensified processes are operated using a perfusion or fed‐batch seed bioreactor enabling a higher than usual seeding density in the fed‐batch production bioreactor. Hence, as part of the growth phase is shifted to the seed bioreactor, there is a lower split ratio, which increases the criticality of the seed bioreactor and could impact production performance. Therefore, such intensified processes should be designed and characterized for robust process scale‐up. This research work is focused on intensified processes with high seeding density inoculated from seed bioreactor in fed‐batch mode. The impact of the feeding strategy and specific power input (P/V) in the seed bioreactor and on the production step with two different cell lines (CL1 and CL2) producing two different monoclonal antibodies was investigated. Cell culture performance in the production bioreactor has been improved due to more stressful conditions for the cells in the seed bioreactor and the impact of the production bioreactor P/V on the production performance was limited. This is the first reported study highlighting a positive impact of cellular stress in seed bioreactors on intensified production bioreactor with the introduction of the “organized stress” concept.
