A biopharmaceutical plant on a chip: continuous micro-devices for the production of monoclonal antibodies

We report a proof-of-principle for the use of micro-devices as continuous bioreactors for the production of monoclonal antibodies. We culture CHO cells on the surface of PMMA "zigzag" channels textured with semi-spherical cavities coated with fibronectin, observing steady-state productivit...

Zusammenfassung:We report a proof-of-principle for the use of micro-devices as continuous bioreactors for the production of monoclonal antibodies. We culture CHO cells on the surface of PMMA "zigzag" channels textured with semi-spherical cavities coated with fibronectin, observing steady-state productivities 100 times higher than those observed in full scale systems.
