Rational Culture Media Design™ A Method Integrating the Art and Science of Process Improvement

I

Formulation development is a combination of practical experience and the application of a practical, rational approach to media design. Applied Knowledge Base: using what we know to discover what we don’t know Data Driven: Results from each phase guide the design of the subsequent phase(s) Appropriate Methods: Carefully consider scale-down models and assays given to ensure relevance to the targeted large-scale process Predictive: Effective capture of key principles to avoid discovery of solutions limited to narrowly constrained conditions Efficient: Building on a foundation rich in experience. • Figure 1:  Regression analysis of >30 design points allows for prediction of “Optima” Production

Figure 3:  Phased approach to improvements; incremental process performance improvements are achieved at each project phase for both growth and production. Combined improvements resulted in a new process that produced more than seven times the yield of the original process (cumulative cell density in ×106 cell-days/mL). Cumulative Cell Density

Figure 2:  Direct comparison of growth performance between the original and newly improved process; this graph helps illustrate how the increase in cumulative cell density (cell-days/mL) for the new process is due both to a higher maximum viable cell density and increased culture 6 longevity 9 (viable cell density in ×10 cells/mL)
