Abstrakt: Cultivating Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells in microtiter plates (MTPs) with time-resolved monitoring of the oxygen transfer rate (OTR) is highly desirable to provide process insights at increased throughput. However, monitoring of the OTR in MTPs has not been demonstrated for CHO cells, yet. Hence, a CHO cultivation process was transferred from shake flasks to MTPs to enable monitoring of the OTR in each individual well of a 48-well MTP. For this, the cultivation of an industrially relevant, antibody-producing cell line was transferred from shake flask to MTP based on the volumetric oxygen mass transfer coefficient (k L a). Culture behavior was well comparable (deviation of the final IgG titer less than 10%). Monitoring of the OTR in 48-well MTPs was then used to derive the cytotoxicity of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) based on a dose-response curve in a single experiment using a second CHO cell line. Logistic fitting of the dose-response curve determined after 100 h was used to determine the DMSO concentration that resulted in a cytotoxicity of 50% (IC50). A DMSO concentration of 2.70% ± 0.25% was determined, which agrees with the IC50 previously determined in shake flasks (2.39% ± 0.1%). Non-invasive, parallelized, and time-resolved monitoring of the OTR of CHO cells in MTPs was demonstrated and offers excellent potential to speed up process development and assess cytotoxicity.
