Process characterization using qualified scale-down models (SDM) offers time and resource-saving advantages to companies developing biotherapeutics. Current approaches with glass benchtop bioreactors as SDMs have demonstrated the ability to predict process performance and product quality, but are throughput- limited by infrastructure that requires significant operational input, as well as large volumes of media and reagents. In this article, the Sartorius Stedim Biotech ambr®250 high-throughput, single-use mini bioreactor system will be discussed for its suitability as an SDM for process characterization.
