Vaccine Production using Mammalian Cells
Stable cell lines are required for industrial production of recombinant protein vaccines. Ensuring that the cell line was derived from a single cell, ‘clonally-derived’, can lead to a more robust cell line. Current best practice with immortalized cell lines producing a vaccine is to perform single-cell isolation. Speed of cell line development is especially important in this case to quickly combat a potential pandemic. With the Solentim workflow, the time from transfection to cell banking can be achieved in as little as 12 weeks.
Education
Osmolality testing is required to ensure that the final vaccine product is safe for administration. The osmolality must be within a physiological range to be introduced in human tissues. There is also evidence that injectable formulations with high osmolality may cause pain at the site of injection.
Vaccines are derived from a variety of sources, both living and synthetic, meaning a variety of bioproduction workflows are required. These workflows include some common use cases for osmolality testing such as cell culture monitoring, buffer media preparation, and final QC.
With the OsmoTECH® portfolio of osmometer you can always ensure product quality throughout every step of vaccine manufacturing.
Accelerating The Timeline to Develop mRNA Based Vaccines
mRNA can be complexed with different agents (e.g. PEI) for delivery within the body. Osmolality impacts the stability of the complex of viral models and the ability to penetrate the target cell membrane.
For the VIPS, there's so little media centered in the well that it makes it easy to locate the cell and prove the health authorities that the cell is clonal.
