mAbs Upstream

Products for Development and Manufacturing.

 

The upstream workflow encompasses all steps leading to cell harvest including optimization of culture conditions, cell line and product characterization, media development, upstream process chemicals; and scale-up of the batch, fed-batch or perfusion process to larger bioreactors. The goal of upstream biomanufacturing is to increase cell density and product titer. 

Cell Line Development

Cell line development is the process used to identify a highly productive, robust, and stable clonal cell line capable of expressing the molecule of interest at high titer and high quality. This step can be time consuming and resource intensive, and particularly challenging for complex antibodies such as bispecifics, but is essential to establish a suitable foundation for a successful bioproduction process.

Our integrated offering for this first cell line development step in the process of developing and manufacturing a therapeutic mAb is comprised of:   

  • SAFC® Ready-to-Use Cell Line Systems, Cell Line Engineering and Custom Development
  • SAFC® Custom and Off the Shelf Cell Culture Media, Recombinant Supplements, Liquid Cell Culture Media and Buffers
  • Millipore® CTDMO and BioReliance® Services (cell line development, cell bank manufacturing, cell line characterization)
  • Millipore® Automation and Analytics Software
  • Millipore® PAT Monitoring and Control
