Abstract: There is provided a process for the separation of molecules from a suspension comprising cells at a concentration of at least 56×106 cells/ml, comprising the steps of: a) providing magnetic particles having a specific interaction with said molecules to be separated, b) mixing the magnetic particles with the cell suspension containing the molecules, c) bringing the cell suspension in contact with a magnetic field provided by a magnetic separation device to collect the magnetic particles, d) decreasing or removing said magnetic field and collecting said magnetic particles carrying said molecules, and e) removing said molecules from said magnetic particles, to provide a concentrated fraction of said molecules, and/or provide partial or complete removal of impurities and cells from the fraction containing the molecules. Advantages include that the yield increases, the volume of the bioreactor and other equipment can be made smaller so that the process becomes more economical.

Abstract: An inflatable bioreactor bag for cell cultivation, which comprising a top and a bottom sheet of flexible material, joined together to form two end edges and two side edges, wherein one baffle or a plurality of baffles extend from the bottom sheet in a region where the shortest distance to any one of the two end edges is higher than about one fourth of the shortest distance between the two end edges.

Abstract: A process for cultivating animal cells producing complex proteins, wherein one plant-derived peptone or a combination of plant-derived peptones is fed to the cell culture, as well as a method for reducing the toxic effect of over-feeding amino acids during a fed-batch process for cultivating animal cells producing complex proteins.
