What is Bioprocessing?

Bioprocessing is any process that uses complete living cells or their components to obtain desired products. The methods use various cell types, ranging from animal to virus. Multiple industries rely on products made through bioprocessing, including the pharmaceutical, food, chemical, and fuel industries. The Food and Drug Administration heavily regulates bioprocessing technology because of the nature of the process and its potential impact.
Biotechnical advances have enabled the production of various biopharmaceuticals within the biopharma realm. These include:

  • Gene therapy vectors
  • Therapeutic stem cells
  • Promising new vaccines

Advancements in biopharma products are revolutionizing treatment for an increasingly broad range of diseases.

Biopharma Manufacturing Considerations

Each stage of bioprocessing is influenced by its steps, from molecule discovery to complete fill and finish. You're constantly striving to achieve higher production yields, which affect manufacturing costs. The following considerations are essential to weigh:

  • Selecting the correct expression system
  • Choosing the best medium and feed for your bioreactor to achieve maximum cell density and productivity
  • Capturing, clarifying, and concentrating the target protein efficiently
  • Obtaining the purified protein through downstream processes
  • Packaging the protein formulation during final fill in the required configuration
