Session Details

Commercial preparation of acellular pertussis vaccine through effective recovery and purification using tangential flow filtration

The commercial preparation of acellular pertussis vaccine depends on the effective recovery and purification of antigens pertussis toxin (PT), filamentous agglutinin (FHA) and pertactin (PRN) from Bordetella pertussis fermentation. This study describes the recovery of antigens using an open channel 0.45-micron tangential flow filtration module with optimization of process parameters of transmembrane pressure, cross flow and flux. Under the optimized conditions, greater than 98% recovery of PT and FHA was obtained.

Inline Biocapacitance for Commercial Scale Single-Use Bioreactor Monitoring and Control

This talk will focus on challenges of offline sampling workflows, biocapacitance implementation in SU equipment, and PAT validation for commercialized products in GMP spaces. It will also cover some basic recommendations for implementing PAT during the process development lifecycle.

Next Generation Platform for End-to-End Bioprocess Development and Small-Scale Production

Carlo Andretta, CEO and CTO of Securecell, will introduce the latest generation of Securecell’s modular bio-lab system, Integra 1. This innovative platform is the first fully automated solution in its class for bioprocess development and small-scale production of therapeutic proteins, cells, and vaccines. Integra 1 automates all steps in both upstream and downstream processes, seamlessly integrating analytical tools to precisely measure metabolites, byproducts, and record key attributes with exceptional accuracy.

A Digital Transformation Journey Leveraging Lucullus PIMS in Cell Culture Process Development

In the digital age, advanced software like Lucullus is crucial for improving efficiency and data integration in the biopharmaceutical industry. This talk will cover our journey with Lucullus, which has eliminated data silos and centralized data access, enhancing process analysis. We’ll discuss the challenges and benefits of implementing Lucullus features, such as automatic data capture, recipe building for automated bioreactor control, and automated metabolic rate calculations for mechanistic modeling.
