The Vaccine Development and Bioprocess Cell Culture Technology Day, organized by a leading life science company Eppendorf AG, will take place in Baltimore on May 16, 2019. Experts will discuss technologies in cell culture upstream bioprocess development with a special focus on perfusion technologies and scale-up.

“Scalable bioprocess systems, online process analytics, and process intensification are key for the development of robust, cost-efficient bioprocesses,” comments Dr. Karl Rix, Vice President Business Unit Bioprocess at Eppendorf. “We are excited that bioprocess experts from Eppendorf, as well as representatives from Corning and other leading manufacturers will share their latest bioprocess insights.”

“Driven by epidemic events and governmental vaccination programs there is a rising demand for the development of new vaccines,” Rix states. “We are excited to learn about the latest developments in upstream bioprocessing that help balance costs and time-to-market.”

Cell / Tissue CultureCell culture or tissue culture is used to study the biology of cells or tissues and to isolate cellular products in an environment which can be manipulated and well defined. Accurately control your culture environment with bioreactors or culture incubators, bind your cells to a surface or together with an extracellular matrix. Distinguish cell types with differential media or proliferate cells with certain characteristics using selective media. Enrich your media with supplements such as growth factors, sera and vitamins. Find the best cell and tissue culture products, kits and equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Scale-upScale-Up is generally defined as the process of transferring the results of the discovery phases of the drug discovery process, obtained on a laboratory scale, to the pilot plant and finally to production scale. Scale-Up uses reactors and pump systems as well as reagents, standards and buffers. Often Scale-Up is provided as a service by Contract Manufacturing Organizations (CMOs). Bioprocessing / FermentationBioprocessing is the use of biological materials to perform commercial, scientific or medical research processes. Biological materials used include cells, enzymes and organisms. Usually bioprocessing requires a batch or continuous bioreactor such as a fermentor or cell culture system. The advantages of using a reactor include high productivity, easy configuration, adjustable values and automation.BioprocessingBioprocessing is the use of biological systems for the conversion of raw materials to desired products. This includes the research, development and manufacturing stages of production and can refer to food processing, small-molecule pharmaceutical manufacture, production of recombinant protein therapeutics, or the generation of renewable energy.Vaccine DevelopmentVaccine development focuses on creating immunizations to protect against infectious diseases. The process involves identifying antigens, developing and testing vaccine efficacy, and ensuring safety through preclinical testing and multiple clinical trial phases. Scientists use various approaches, including weakened or inactivated viruses, protein subunits, or mRNA. Advanced platforms and rapid diagnostic tools aid in vaccine research and testing.
