Popis: | Process analytical technology (PAT) has been gaining momentum in the biopharmaceutical community due to the potential for continuous real time quality assurance resulting in improved operational control and compliance. Two imperatives for implementing any PAT tool are that "variability is managed by the process" and "product quality attributes can be accurately and reliably predicted over the design space established for materials used, process parameters, manufacturing, environmental, and other conditions." Recently, we have been examining the feasibility of applying different analytical tools to bioprocessing unit operations. We have previously demonstarted that commercially available online-high performance liquid chromatography and ultra performance liquid chromatography systems can be used for analysis that can facilitate real-time decisions for column pooling based on product quality attributes (Rathore et al., 2008a,b). In this article, we review an at-line tool that can be used for pooling of process chromatography columns. We have demonstrated that our tryptophan fluorescence method offers a feasible approach and meets the requirements of a PAT application. It is significantly faster than the alternative of fractionation, offline analysis followed by pooling. Although the method as presented here is not an online method, this technique may offer better resolution for certain applications and may be a more optimal approach as it is very conducive to implementation in a manufacturing environment. This technique is also amenable to be used as an online tool via front face fluorescence measurements done concurrently with product concentration determination by UV. |
