Traditional Cell Line Selection and Process Optimization Traditional Cell Line Selection and Process Optimization
UncontrolledUncontrolled Processes:
Early and Late in Development
Shake Flasks (SF) Benefits:
Large number of clones No bioreactor resources needed
Concerns: Screening, selection, initial process optimization is
uncontrolled Commercial process will be controlled SF are not the standard for scale-up to pilot scale and
beyond
Controlled Processes: Late in Development

Why New Tools?Why New Tools?
•Shake Flasks are not always scalable– “system” does not transfer to bioreactors– Cells LIKE bioreactors more than shake flasks– Higher density cultures in mammalian platforms
•No online data
•Cost of NOT having the “right” data and screens? •QbD and Regulatory
– Robust Process development– Evolving: Where does the process actually start?
Value to your organization!

“Losers” in Shake Flasks but … “Winners” in Bioreactors“Losers” in Shake Flasks but … “Winners” in Bioreactors
Industrial data
• All CHO clones had low titres in shake flasks• Best of low titer clones progressed to minireactors• Titer improvement when clones were run controlled

What is the Significance of Not Running Controlled?What is the Significance of Not Running Controlled?
•Additional screening necessary.– Why screen the same way?
•Increase demand on process optimization’s scarce resources – Bioreactors, operators, scientist
•Increase development time
•Does one really have the best commercial cell line and process at the end of the day?

Next Generation: “High-throughput” Micro BioreactorsNext Generation: “High-throughput” Micro Bioreactors
Uncontrolled
Controlled Processes: Early and Late in Development
• Large number of clones and conditions can be screened controlled without using valuable 3L bioreactor resources
• Learn more about process earlier using high-throughput 10 mL bioreactors.
• Increase the likelihood of selecting and developing the best clone and process for commercialization.

High-throughput and Scalable Micro-24 MicrobioreactorHigh-throughput and Scalable Micro-24 Microbioreactor
• Small scale and controlled bioreactor system– 24 individually monitored and
controlled reactors– pH
•Ammonia (Microbial)•Sodium Bicarbonate (Mammalian)
– Dissolved Oxygen– Temperature– Controllable agitation

High-throughput and Scalable Micro-24 MicrobioreactorHigh-throughput and Scalable Micro-24 Microbioreactor
•Data acquisition in real time
•MRT is amenable to studying factors/ levels and replicates that total 24
•Multiple factor studies uncover interactions
•And, it’s “scalable”
•Saves on time and “$”

Micro-24 and Feed DevelopmentMicro-24 and Feed Development
Feed response would not have been identified in Shake Flasks
Micro-24 results are similar to 3 L bioreactor resultsProof of concept: Screen for feed response and develop
feeds and media for bioreactor processes.
