Field of Research

The market for monoclonal antibodies (mAb) changes drastically due to different reasons. The trend to a more personalized medicine and niche products, an increased cost pressure and large market growth rates make production adjustments unavoidable. Therefore, the existing batch-wise operated large-scale stainless steel plants are questioned. Continuous processing of mAb within single use plants seems to be a promising alternative to meet the future demands.

Within the continuous manufacturing of biopharmaceutical products, especially mAb, the continuous viral clearance plays an important role. In order to ensure the product safety, already applied fed-batch strategies have to be adapted into the continuous process mode
