Novel fields, such as cell and gene therapy require large amounts of cells to be produced and are therefore dependent on efficient scale‐up, the process of increasing bioprocess dimensions. However, as multiple parameters are influenced during this process, it is not easy to keep yields consistent between small‐ and large‐scale approaches. Therefore, in order to design the scale‐up process as efficient as possible, different strategies focusing on different parameters were established over time. In this ebook, Eppendorf thought leaders will give an overview of the current gold standards in scale‐up and share their opinions on advantages and disadvantages of different strategies. Furthermore, scale‐up of both bacterial and mammalian cell culture is experimentally demonstrated in this publication.
New Strategies for a Better Glycosylation Profile
January 22nd 2025Glycan analysis provides key information on critical quality attributes that could affect stability, safety and efficacy of a protein therapeutic. Specific needs for understanding the glycosylation profiles change throughout the drug development process, but the requirement for high-resolution glycan information remains the same and is essential to help ensure product quality.
