One System, Multiple Applications ... ...

One key to ensuring the best results are obtained with the ATF™ System is to appreciate the differences involved with each application where it is used. Understanding what is important for each application and where the improvements in efficiency lie may mean a shift in focus for operating the ATF System.


Application Based Considerations:

  • Different Cell Types : Insect cells and CHO cells have much common when grown in a bioreactor but also much separates them in how the ATF System can improve each individual process.
  • Process Objectives : Obtaining a high cell concentration may not be the goal of a vaccine process - which cannot realize the benefit of more cells - but perhaps boosting virus numbers per cell is where the focus and effort for process improvement has the most impact.
  • Expression Goals : A concentrated fed-batch approach may provide an excitingly high cell concentration but this may not translate to a similar protein production spike. Shortening the time however to produce an equivalent amount of protein could be significant while improving the turnaround time and total output of the research group. A high density cell bank made using the ATF System provides this.
