Optimizing a Tangential Flow Filtration (TFF) System for Biologics Manufacturing with Future-proof Single-Use Technology
A recognized world leader in the discovery and production of enzymes for molecular biology applications was in need of a new tangential flow filtration (TFF) system to support production of a cell-based product. Their production process depended on accurate TFF, an essential step for washing their material before preparing the product for market. As a commercial product, and not a research product, this particular production line was essential to the company’s customers and their overall revenue stream. The company outgrew its TFF system as demand for the product flourished; the process engineering team realized they would not be able to increase product volume in a timely and cost effective way without a new TFF solution. While their existing single-use TFF system and bioreactor worked effectively when their demand was lower, higher volumes required the client to run their system weekly as opposed to bi-monthly in order to keep up with production. Frequent processing runs meant increased costs for disposables that were becoming more and more difficult to procure due to Covid-19 related disruptions in the supply chain. Learn how Agilitech applied its flexible design approach in collaboration with the customer to provide a TFF solution that meets current and future needs, and also helped to address supply chain issues with single-use components.
