  • Publication number: 20130143313
    Abstract: A harvesting device for capturing a biological product directly by binding the secreted biological product with a resin, discarding the nutrient medium and eluting the biological product as a concentrated solution, eliminating the steps of sterile filtration and volume reduction, thus allowing one to combine the steps of recombinant expression and separation of a biological product. The method allows loading of resin for column-purification, eliminating all steps of perfusion process and maintaining a sink condition of a toxic product in nutrient medium to optimize productivity of host cells. The instant invention also allows harvesting of solubilized inclusion bodies after the cells have been lysed and refolding of proteins inside the bioreactor.

  • Patent number: 8183035
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing biological products in a single container from the growth of cells to purification of the product is performed in a flexible disposable bioreactor that uses only a compressed gas for mixing and gasification. A porous septum is used to create the gasification and mixing as well as to separate a chromatography media used to harvest and purify a biological product in the same container. The closed container can be used in any environment without the risk of contamination to the product or the risk of contamination of environment with the product. This allows large manufacturing of hazardous substances, drugs and vaccines anywhere at the lowest cost possible. Numerous applications can be found in counter-terrorism and biodefense operations as well in managing epidemic illnesses.
