Abstract
Integrated continuous production technology is of great interest in biopharmaceutical industry. Efficient, flexible and cost effective methods for continuous cell removal have to be developed, before a fully continuous and integrated product train can be realized. The paper describes the development and testing of such an integrated continuous and disposable set-up for cell separation by flocculation combined with depth filtration. Screening of multiple flocculation agents, depth filters, and conditions demonstrated that the best performance was obtained with 0.0375% polydiallyldimethylammonium chloride (pDADMAC; a polycationic flocculation agent) in combination with Clarisolve® depth filters. Using this set-up, a 4-fold decrease of filtration area was achieved relative to standard filtration without flocculation, with yields of ≥97% and DNA depletion of up to 99%. Continuous operation was accomplished using a simple tubular reactor design with parallelization of the filtration. The reactor length was selected to allow a 13.2-min residence time, which was sufficient to complete flocculation in batch experiments. Continuous flocculation performance was monitored on-line using focused beam reflectance measurement. Filter switch c...Continue Reading
