Scale-Up of Escherichia coli Fermentation from Small Scale to Pilot Scale using Eppendorf Fermentation Systems

Eppendorf
20 Feb 2017

The scale-up of fermentation processes is critical to the success of industrial fermentation for the production of biologicals in the biopharmaceutical market. In this application note, we used E. coli fermentation to demonstrate the scale-up capabilities of Eppendorf fermentation systems from small scale to bench scale and pilot scale.

MicrobiologyMicrobiology is the study of microorganisms including protists, prokaryotes, fungi, and, often, viruses. Microorganisms are a useful research tool as genetic vectors and, in immunology, for antibiotic susceptibility testing, cellular biology and genetics. Microorganisms commonly grow readily in incubators with microbial culture media; this can contain chromogenic supplements to differentiate between cell lines. Estimate your culture’s density of microorganisms with colony counters, or screen and select colonies for desirable clones with automated colony pickers. Additionally, equipment is available to monitor environments for the presence of microbes and identify with microbial identification instruments.

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.Escherichia coliFermentationBiopharmaceuticalsBiopharmaceuticals are proteins and other compounds (such as nucleic acids) produced by living organisms that have uses as therapeutics or for in vivo diagnostics. The most well known example of a biopharmaceutical product, and the first to be approved for therapeutic use, was recombinant human insulin.BiologicsBiologics are medical products derived from living organisms, including vaccines, gene therapies, and monoclonal antibodies. These treatments are key to modern healthcare, especially in oncology and autoimmune diseases.
