Scale-up in multilayer systems
Technical and manufacturing considerations
Multilayer Systems
Limited process development
needs
Manufacturing strategy = Scaleout
Large facility & labor intensive
Automation has to be considered
Scale-up in multilayer systems
Technical and manufacturing considerations
Multilayer Bioreactors
Process development is required:
Optimize process parameters
Harvest protocol
Keep same micro-environement as
multilayer, so reduce process
development time and regulatory risk
Linear scalability from 10 to 200 plates
(122,400 cm²)
Enable scaling up while minimizing
footprint and reducing manual
operations
Scale-up with microcarriers
Technical and manufacturing considerations
Microcarriers
Process development challenges: time & expertise
Microcarrier:
Density, cm²/g, g/L achievable, surface coating
Impacts on : mixing requirements, cells/ml and
product quality
Bioreactor:
Seed train (bead to bead transfer) and scale up
Low shear while maintaining mixing efficiency
Scalable harvest protocol
Product quality / similarity vs 2D layers
Requires Process development:
Clinical development timelines need to be considered
May need clinical bridging data
Very high volume manufacturing
Downstream process scale-up
Considerations
Intermediate storage not allowed
Streamline the unit operations of the complete manufacturing process
Main challenges for downstream at large scale :
Cells detachment from 2D multilayers / multilayer bioreactors / microcarriers
Microcarrier / cells separation
Cells concentration & washing
Formulation
In-line filling
Downstream process scale-up
Available technologies
Criteria for technology selection:
Harvest volumes to process
Cells integrity / resistance to mechanical constrains
Time constraints
Concentration factor and final targeted volume
Technology scale and associated R&D efforts

Conclusion
Pall Approach
Industrializing process from R&D to
GMP manufacturing:
Consider process as a whole
Implement “fundamental”
changes step by step
Support product devt while
minimizing process/product
changes – market approval
strategy
Align technology roadmap and
product roadmap
