  2. Outline Bioreactor Operation Main Factors Affecting Bioreactor Productivity Optimization Final Design Cost and Suppliers Alternative Reactors Question Period

  3. Bioreactor OPERATION Purpose: Growth of the hybridoma culture and production of monoclonal antibodies. Bioreactor volume: 18981 L Mab Production: 30.26 kg/batch

  4. Main factors affecting bioreactor productivity • fermentation temperature • dissolved oxygen content • supplied nutrient • waste product accumulation

  5. Optimization Effect of Air Flow Rate on mAb Production Initial Air Flow Rate: 1187 kg/hr

  6. Optimization Effect of Mass Flow Rate of Stream S-108 on Bioreactor Volume and mAb Production Initial Flow Rate of S-108: 10112 kg/hr Initial Medium Percentage: 1.8

  7. Optimization Effect of Mass Flow Rate of Stream S-109 on Reactor Volume and mAb Production Initial Flow Rate of S-109: 1077 kg/hr Initial Medium Percentage: 15.7

  10. Alternative reactors • In Vivo • Inject the hydridoma cells into the peritoneal cavity of a mouse. • Hybridoma cells multiply and produce fluid (ascites) in its abdomen. • The mice are then ‘tapped’ and the mAb rich fluid is removed • Advantages • Inexpensive, easy to use, familiar • Usually produces very high mAb concentrations that often do not require further concentration procedures that can denature antibody and decrease effectiveness. • Disadvantages • Contaminating mouse proteins • Can cause pain or distress • Animal welfare issues

  11. Alternative reactors • Semi-Permeable Membrane Based Systems • Hollow Fiber Membrane System • Cells are maintained in a compartment separated from the media reservoir by a selective membrane. Cells are perfused continuously with media, but are not exposed to shear. • Advantages • More effective for supplying nutrients and removing waste • High-density cultures, and therefore higher monoclonal antibody concentrations compared to batch • Disadvantages • More complicated and expensive • High-density culture methods require frequent monitoring
