From shaker to fermenter, a methanol-free Pichia pastoris protein production workflow
Pichia pastoris is widely employed for producing recombinant proteins. Traditional systems depend on methanol-inducible promoters like PAOX1, which pose safety concerns due to methanol’s flammable nature.
Find out more about a new strain of P. pastoris that carries a glycerol-inducible promoter, pUPP, that enables safe, methanol-free expression of proteins under glycerol feeding for high‑density fed‑batch fermentation.
Developing a highly robust, efficient, and cost-effective monoclonal antibody workflow
Since the COVID-19 pandemic, pressure has increased to develop more products for treating unexpected viral diseases at reduced costs, under safe conditions and in a timely manner. Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) may hold great promise to fill this gap as an addition to vaccines and anti-viral drugs. Eppendorf has curated a mAb workflow to increase reproducibility and productivity of mAb research and development process. Explore how you can optimize process development, scale up, and device management to maximize yields and prevent instrument downtime.
Beginner's guide to CHO culture: Understanding batch, fed-batch, and perfusion bioprocesses
In this application note, Eppendorf explains the differences between batch, fed-batch, and perfusion cell culture bioprocesses using Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells at bench scale. The importance of tracking specific parameters is explained to achieve inoculation of bioreactors at high viability. The data obtained from sampling is discussed in terms of growth rate, production yields, and bioreactor feeding or perfusion rates. These principles may be applicable to other suspension cell culture processes at smaller or larger scales.
Dissolved oxygen control proportional–integral–derivative (PID) tuning for cell culture applications
This application note introduces a method developed to optimize the PI values on Eppendorf bioprocess controllers. The method is based on pre-programmed delivery of chemical oxygen scavengers to accurately simulate the oxygen demand throughout a bioreactor cell culture process. This chemical simulation allows for quick and accurate tuning of PI values for cell culture dissolved oxygen control.
