Abstract: | We designed an Integrated Media Preparation System (IMPS) for continuous, on-line preparation of cell culture media and delivery to intermediate storage vessels or directly to a bioreactor. Key components of the IMPS include: a high precision, continuous fluid mixing device; formulation-specific liquid medium concentrates; validated process controls and membrane filtration; and automated dispensing into large volume flexible plastic containers. The IMPS system is designed to produce sterile, single-strength liquid medium from common raw materials at a delivery rate of 1000–3000 liters per hour and will manufacture homogenous batches from several thousand liters to over 60,000 liters. Fortified nutrient media prepared from multi-component 50X concentrates have been demonstrated to accelerate bioreactor seed chains, increase product yield, and reduce the overall manufacturing cost of nutrient medium. A productivity matrix will analyze the fully-loaded costs and contrast alternative methods for media preparation against projected biological yield.Abbreviations IMPS Integrated Media Preparation System - 50X Nutrient fluid components formulated at fifty-fold final use concentration - 1X Nutrient fluid formulated at final, single-strength use concentration - cGMP Current Good Manufacturing Practices - SCADA Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition - PLC Process Logic Controller - LTI Life Technologies, Inc. - WFI Water for Injection - CIP Clean in place - SIP Sterilize in place - HPLC High performance liquid chromatography - DMEM Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium |
