Optimizing AAV vector manufacturing will be necessary to meet anticipated future market demand.

Improving the flexibility of cell line development through utilization of platform approaches and suitable partnerships can reduce potential bottlenecks in the development pathway of novel biologics.

AGC Biologics has completed an expansion at its Copenhagen, Denmark, site, which doubles its bioreactor capacity for mammalian-based cell culture.

Using a multi-pronged strategy to find optimum, tailored formulations is best.

This commentary summarizes the derivation of clonal HEK293 suspension cell lines, selection of clones for rAAV production, and design of experiments-based optimization strategies for characterization of one clonal isolate for high yield rAAV manufacture. Data shown provides proof of concept for the success of this strategy, its applicability for manufacturing different rAAV serotypes and lays the foundation of further clonal cell line characterization for scale up of production.

Global product manager at Cytiva, Eric Corti, discusses the challenges with designing a new single-use mixing system that ensures leak-free fluid handling operations at INTERPHEX 2024.

This investment will bolster the company’s large-scale cell culture CDMO business at its planned Fujifilm Diosynth Biotechnologies manufacturing facility in Holly Springs, North Carolina.

Despite a growing trend toward single-use bioreactors, stainless-steel retains its relevance for certain products.

A tidal wave of questions floats the need for more upstream automation.

Challenges in fermentation can be addressed through equipment changes, facility design, and process development.
