In contrast to batch operations run under constant pressure or high flux, virus filtration in continuous processes may be operated at very low flux, a condition which may reduce the viral retention performance of the filter. To overcome this limitation, two novel approaches are described. One uses intermittent high flux operation, and the other utilizes serial virus filtration, with a high area ratio between first to second stage filters. Theoretical and experimental case studies confirm that these methods provide robust virus retention performance, high filter productivity, and long filter changeout times for continuous processing applications.
In this webinar, you will learn:
- The benefits of transitioning from batch to continuous bioprocessing for enhanced productivity and process control
- Challenges associated with low flux operation in continuous virus filtration and its impact on viral retention
- Innovative operational strategies such as intermittent high flux and serial filtration to optimize virus filtration performance
- The advantages of using the Viresolve® Pro Device for higher virus retention and reduced filter fouling
- Practical insights for implementing these novel filtration techniques in biopharmaceutical manufacturing to improve efficiency and output
