Buffer Dilution Requires Low Shear, Low Pulsation and Stable, Accurate Flow Rates

Four-piston diaphragm pumps, pump controllers and flow sensors/meters from PSG® Biotech are the preferred choice for ensuring a successful buffer dilution operation, resulting in the production of biologics that are safe and efficient for human administration.

Our Solutions

PSG Biotech offers best-in-class pumps, flow sensors, meters and flow controls engineered to reliably and safely transfer and precisely meter critical biologic liquids handled during bulk filling processes. Our advanced technology ensures optimal performance in bulk filling systems, which are crucial for maintaining the integrity and consistency of pharmaceutical production.

The Importance of Chromatography in the Pharma Industry

Chromatography is a pivotal technique in the pharmaceutical industry used for the purification and separation of complex mixtures into their individual components. This process is essential for ensuring the purity, potency and safety of biopharmaceutical products, such as monoclonal antibodies, vaccines and therapeutic proteins. Accurate and efficient chromatography is vital for drug development, quality control and regulatory compliance.

Key Operational Variables in Chromatography

Our solutions are designed to address two significant operational variables in the chromatography process:

1. Stable, Pulsation-Free Flow Rate
Ensuring a stable, pulsation-free flow rate is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the separation process. Pulsations can disrupt the chromatography process, leading to inconsistent results and reduced product quality. Our advanced pumps and flow sensors are engineered to provide a smooth and stable flow, minimizing the risk of process interruptions and ensuring consistent, high-quality outcomes. This is especially important when working with sensitive biological materials such as CHO (Chinese Hamster Ovary) cells, HEK (Human Embryonic Kidney) cells and HeLa cells, where process stability directly impacts product yield and quality.

2. Linear Flow Characteristic
A linear flow characteristic is essential for accurate and reproducible chromatography. Nonlinear flow can cause uneven distribution of the product, leading to poor separation and purification. Our pumps and flow meters are designed to maintain a linear flow characteristic, ensuring that the sample is evenly distributed and that the chromatography columns operate at their optimal performance levels. This is particularly important when working with resin beads in affinity chromatography, such as antibody purification using protein A resins or ion exchange chromatography using positively or negatively charged resins.

Achieving Peak Performance

Only when these variables—stable and accurate flow rate and linear flow characteristic—are properly achieved and maintained will the bulk filling process realize its peak performance level. Our state-of-the-art technology and robust design ensure that these critical parameters are met, providing reliable and high-quality results for pharmaceutical production.

By integrating our advanced bulk filling solutions into your processes, you can enhance the efficiency, consistency and quality of your pharmaceutical production, ensuring that your products meet the highest standards of purity and potency. This not only improves operational efficiency, but also ensures compliance with regulatory requirements and enhances patient safety.

Application-Specific Solutions

Resin Beads:
Selecting the appropriate resin beads is critical for effective purification in chromatography. For instance, protein A resins are commonly used for purifying monoclonal antibodies due to their high specificity and binding capacity. Other resins, such as cation and anion exchange resins, are used for separating charged molecules.

Cell Lines:
The choice of cell lines, such as CHO, HEK or HeLa, can impact the chromatography process. Each cell line has unique properties that influence the purification steps, including the type of contaminants and the required purification stringency.

Batch Processing:
Batch processing is a common approach in chromatography where each batch undergoes the purification process separately. This method allows for precise control over the purification conditions and is ideal for small-scale production or when dealing with sensitive biological materials.

Monoliths:
Monolithic columns are another chromatography tool that offers high resolution and speed. These are particularly useful in high-throughput applications and when working with large biomolecules.

By addressing these key operational variables and application-specific considerations, we ensure that our chromatography solutions meet the stringent requirements of the pharmaceutical industry, providing reliable and high-quality results for biopharmaceutical production.
