UFDF is a critical step in the downstream process that commonly uses tangential flow filtration (TFF) techniques. Traditional UFDF relies on mass-balance monitoring, which presents challenges such as variability across runs and the need for frequent sampling. As the demand for high-concentration monoclonal antibody (mAb) drugs rises, there's a growing pressure to optimize processes while maintaining critical quality attributes. Process Analytical Technology (PAT) offers a solution by enabling real-time protein concentration monitoring using ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy through Variable Pathlength Technology (VPT). The KrosFlo FS-15 TFF system, incorporating VPT technology, allows for proactive control based on immediate concentration feedback, enhancing process efficiency and product quality. Through experimental validation across a range of high-concentration products, this approach demonstrated significant improvements in process control, reducing errors, and ensuring consistent quality thr...

This webcast features: Artur Stanczak, Field Application Specialist, Process Chromatography, Bio-Rad Laboratories. Large molecule purification presents significant challenges due to their considerable size. For instance, Immunoglobulin M (IgM) molecules, ranging from 900 to 1,000 kD, play pivotal roles in mammalian immune responses and find extensive applications in diagnostics and therapeutics. Purification of such molecules is particularly intricate owing to several factors including their weak Protein A binding sites, limited dynamic binding capacity, and slow diffusion rates. Moreover, IgMs exert notable effects on chromatographic purification processes. Their inability to penetrate small pores necessitates higher pore volume utilization, resulting in sluggish diffusion and mass transfer kinetics within traditional chromatography resins. Consequently, this diminishes binding capacity and resolution, thereby complicating purification efforts. This webinar will delve into innovative strategies to sur...
