Event Overview:

The freezing and thawing of biologics for storage and transport is often overlooked in the biomanufacturing workflow. Considering its impact on critical quality attributes in post downstream processing, it should be treated as a unit operation of its own. And like most unit operations, freeze/thaw has its own set of process challenges focused on product stability, integrity, and scalability. For commercial scale freeze/thaw of bulk API, a model protein study can help to better understand how formulations, primary containers, and freezing methods alleviate these risks. This webinar will:

• Review key requirements and considerations for the freezing of bulk drug substances or APIs
• Examine the properties required of a 50mL to 50L scalable system
• Evaluate a model protein stability study to determine optimal freeze/thaw solutions

Key Learning Objectives:

• Understand the challenges associated with freeze/thaw of bulk API, specifically proteins and monoclonal antibodies
• Characteristics of a scalable freeze/thaw commercial unit operation
• Importance of the right formulation, container, and freeze method on product quality attributes through a model protein study

Who Should Attend:

• MS&T Engineers/Scientists (Manufacturing Science & Technology)
• Process Development Engineer/Scientists
• Associate/Senior Director of Process Sciences and Manufacturing
• Protein Formulation Scientists/R&D Managers

Speakers

Muhammad Siddiqui
