mAbs Downstream
Products for Development and Manufacturing
Higher cell densities and antibody titers from increasingly advanced upstream processes result in complex downstream purification challenges. The focus of downstream bioprocessing is efficient recovery and purification while controlling bioburden and assuring viral safety to provide drug safety for patients. The downstream workflow, which includes clarification, chromatography, concentration, viral clearance, and sterile filtration steps, is essential for ensuring monoclonal antibody (mAb) product quality, yield, safety, and sterility.
Maximize Productivity of Downstream Bioprocessing
The downstream process consists of many purification and filtration unit operations, each of which must be robust, scalable, and optimized to mitigate loss of the monoclonal antibody (mAb) and maximize product yield.
From process development to scale-up and full-scale production, accelerate timelines and ensure cost effectiveness with a range of tools from our Millipore® and SAFC® portfolios of buffers, clean-in-place (CIP) solutions, multi- and single-use systems, plug-and-play technologies, and validation services. Combine these technologies with our application expertise to overcome any downstream processing challenge.
Further gains in downstream productivity can be achieved by using granulated raw materials, implementing various process intensification strategies, adopting closed processing, or through the integration of digitalization.
