Purification of Precipitated Monoclonal Antibodies via Tangential Flow Filtration: Process Optimization of Particle Morphology and Module Geometry

Zachary Badinger

Recent advances in cell culture have led to significant increases in monoclonal antibody (mAb) titer, opening a window of opportunity for developing a fully continuous downstream purification process. One approach for this process is to selectively precipitate the mAb and remove impurities with microfiltration. This work analyzed the effect of particle morphology and membrane module geometry on the critical fluxes and conversion rates for continuous operation during microfiltration.
