Semi-continuous scale-down models for clone and operating parameter screening in perfusion bioreactors.

Perfusion cell culture, confined traditionally to the production of fragile molecules, is currently gaining broader attention in the biomanufacturing of therapeutic proteins. The development of these processes is made difficult by the limited availability of appropriate scale-down models. This is due to the continuous operation that requires complex control and cell retention capacity. For example, the determination of an optimal perfusion and bleed rate for continuous cell culture is often performed in scale-down bioreactors and requires a substantial amount of time and effort. To increase the experimental throughput and decrease the required workload, a semi-continuous procedure, referred to as the VCD
