Overcoming the Productivity Bottleneck in MAb Capture

It is no secret that progress toward intensifying monoclonal antibody (MAb) production processes has focused on upstream steps. Although the industry welcomed increased production, that also created bottlenecks in downstream processing, including during capture chromatography steps. Technologies that are intended to alleviate such bottlenecks must meet four important criteria to increase productivity and profitability. They must • improve productivity of the MAb capture process, such as by purifying more MAbs, using less media, and/or reducing timelines. • perform as well…
