Eppendorf to Host a Fall Series of Complimentary Bioprocess Seminars and Luncheons

Eppendorf, a leading life science company, has announced a series of       complimentary seminars and luncheons on the west coast and the east       coast featuring topics such as stem cells, perfusion and scalability.

Scale-up and suspension adaptation of Mesenchymal and Induced       Pluripotent Stem Cells (MSCs and iPSCs) are currently the focus of       intense study. Although successful expansion of Mesenchymal Stem Cells       (MSCs) in vitro has been well established, the large-scale       production of MSCs remains a bottleneck. Join Eppendorf as they       demonstrate a successful large scale bioprocess application of       adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AdMSCs) in an industrial       single-use bioreactor vessel at 3.75 L scale (working volume).

Biosimilars are a fast-growing segment of the biopharmaceutical market.       Using a CHO cell line expressing a human MAb, we will compare three       methods of MAb production using the new BioFlo 320 bioprocess control       station. The common batch and fed-batch protocols are discussed, as well       as an alternating tangential flow filtration perfusion.

The ultimate goal for process development is the realization of       large-scale commercial production. Currently, the scale-up of       fermentation processes, which is critical to the success of industrial       fermentation for bioproduction, are receiving a lot of attention. The       fermentation scale-up from benchtop (1 L to 10 L scale) to       pilot/production scale (> 100 L) is the important step for effective       production of biologicals, including small proteins in the       biopharmaceutical market. Join us as we investigate the scale-up       capabilities of Eppendorf fermentation systems from small to large scale.
