Abstract:Near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy has the capability of providing real-time, multi-analyte monitoring of the complex reaction mixture associated with cell culture processes. However, the development of robust models to predict the concentration of key analytes has proven difficult. In this study, a modeling methodology using semisynthetic process samples was used to predict glucose concentrations in Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cell culture processes. Partial Least Squares (PLS) regression models were built from… Show more

During cell cultivation processes for the production of biopharmaceuticals, good process performance and good product quality can be ensured by online monitoring of critical process parameters (e.g. temperature, pH, or dissolved oxygen). These data can be used in real‐time for process control, as suggested by the process analytical technology (PAT) initiative. Today, solutions for real‐time monitoring of parameters such as concentrations of cells, main nutrients, and metabolism by‐products are developing, but applications of these more complex tools in industrial settings are still limited. Here, we evaluated the use of dielectric spectroscopy (DS) and near‐infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) as PAT tools for a perfusion PER.C6® cultivation process. We showed that DS enabled predictions of viable cell density from the cultivation vessel, with a root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) of 4.4% of the calibration range. Additionally, predictions of glucose and lactate concentrations from the cultivation vessel (RMSEP of 10 and 14%, respectively) and from the perfusion stream (RMSEP of 12 and 10%, respectively) were achieved with NIRS. We also showed that the perfusion stream offers great opportunities for noninvasive, yet frequent process monitoring. Accurate online monitoring of critical process parameters with PAT tools is the essential first step toward increased control of process output.

Section: Sensors Commonly Used In Bioprocessmentioning
Practical applicationThis review summarizes recent progress and current status of bioprocess monitoring. There has been an increasing emphasis on the applications of process analytical tools in bioprocessing for biologics manufacturing. The integration of in-line, on-line and at-line sensors and the real-time characterization of the physiological state of cells will lead to robust processes and enhanced product quality.
AbstractThe productivity of cell culture manufacturing for biologics has increased momentously in the past decades. Increasingly, the process research efforts are devoted into improving product quality and consistency. Consistent process performance and successful implementation of quality by design (QbD) practice requires well-utilized process analytical technology (PAT). This review summarizes recent progress and current status of bioprocess monitoring. Many sensors for bioprocess monitoring have been available for decades while new ones, especially spectrometric sensors, are making their way into cell culture bioprocesses. On-line sampling devices have grown mature in the past decade thus making many instruments traditionally used for off-line analysis available for at-line use. With a general trend of using better defined medium for cell cultivation and increasing emphasis of process analytical tools, the spectrometric methods are also making headway in cell culture process monitoring. The integration of those sensing technologies will be important to advance the real-time monitoring of the state of cellular physiology for the control for process consistency and product quality.
“…Considering NIR spectroscopy, Clavaud et al () and Kozma et al () have developed regression models taking into account parameters affecting spectroscopic measurements and bioprocess variations in order to increase robustness and accuracy of predictive models. In pursuit of the same goal, Milligan et al () have proposed to merge on‐line and off‐line measurements in a unique calibration dataset in order to develop “semi‐synthetic” models. Beyond classical metabolites quantifications, recent advances in Raman spectroscopic monitoring of CHO cell cultures have led to propose predictive models of recombinant antibody concentration (André et al, ; Ashton et al, ).…”
