Downstream AAV Production: A Targeted Approach to Optimization
Recorded: March 2022
This webinar will highlight our multifaceted approach to downstream AAV production and purification, including separating the genome-containing (full) from genome-free (empty) AAV capsids and a selection of innovative purification solutions to improve yield, purity, and throughput.
Key messages on Downstream AAV Production:
- The key parameters to consider for optimizing downstream AAV production and purification: Serotype, Upstream harvest yields, Empty:Full ratios, recovery, and our approach to purification
- Showcase our selection of DSP purification techniques in our toolbox
- Platform improvements to be aligned with the latest technological advancements and driven through both external collaborations and internal innovation
- Use of BIA Separations’ monoliths as a solution to the challenge of separating full from empty AAV capsids
- Use of BIA Separations’ new CIMasphere technology for the removal of host cell DNA-related impurities
Agenda:
