Modern production processes for biopharmaceuticals often work with very high cell densities. Moreover, there is a trend towards moving from fed-batch to continuous perfusion processes; a development that is influencing the requirements for bioreactor design and process control. In this study, the transfer of fed-batch and perfusion experiments between different cylindrical stirred lab-scale bioreactors and Thermo Scientific’sTM (Waltham, MA, USA) cubical HyPerformaTM DynaDriveTM Single-Use Bioreactor was investigated. Different scaling parameters were used, which were selected based on the requirements of the respective processes. Peak cell densities of up to 49 × 106 cells mL−1 and antibody titers of up to 5.2 g L−1 were achieved in 15- to 16-day fed-batch experiments. In 50-day perfusion cultivations, a viable cell volume of >100 mm3 mL−1 was maintained and more than 1 g L−1 d−1 of antibodies were harvested. The perfusion processes were automated with both cell bleed control and glucose concentration control. Cell retention was performed using Repligen’s (Waltham, MA, USA) XCell® ATF perfusion systems and single-use devices. In summary, approaches for successfully scaling highly productive fed-batch and perfusion processes between geometrically dissimilar lab and pilot scale bioreactors were demonstrated. The advantages of perfusion in comparison to fed-batch processes were also observed.
