Stem Cell Derived Exosome Production in Stirred-Tank Bioreactors

Thursday, September 15th, 2022 at 4pm CEST | 3pm BST | 10am EDT Extra cellular vesicles and especially exosomes have recently gained favor for therapeutic medicine development due to possessing structures that can be modified to conveniently deliver payloads, such as specific proteins, genetic lipids, and genetic materials including messenger RNA (mRNA, and genomic DNA (gDNA) from their progenitor cell. Most recently, there is increasing interest in the therapeutic potential of exosomes produced by Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs). Stirred-tank bioreactors offer the possibility to tightly control and monitor the production of exosomes, as well as the scalability, to produce increasing amounts. However, the cultivation of stem cells in stirred-tank bioreactors requires profound knowledge and precise control of the process.

In this podcast, Richard Mirro, business manager at the Bioprocess Center of Eppendorf AG, explores how smart bioprocessing can help labs adapt to today’s demands, driving efficiency while making the development and production of next-generation molecules not only more economical, but also more reliable.

Wednesday, September 29, 2021 at 10am EDT| 7am PDT| 3pm BST| 4pm CEST Learn about strategies for inline process analytics aimed at automated feed control in an upstream bioprocess. Using the example of a Raman analyzer, a glucose analyzer, and an exhaust analyzer experts demonstrate how to achieve seamless sensor integration with the bioprocess control software.

The proportional–integral–derivative (PID) control mechanism is used for a variety of processes, including dissolved oxygen (DO) control. This protocol introduces a method developed to optimize the PI values on Eppendorf bioprocess controllers.
