الوصف: As the need for higher volumetric productivity in biomanufacturing grows, biopharmaceutical companies are increasingly investing in a perfusion cell culture process, most commonly one that uses a hollow fiber filter as the cell retention device. A current challenge with using hollow fiber filters is fouling of the membrane, which reduces product sieving and can increase transmembrane pressure (TMP) past process limitations. In this work, the impact of hollow fiber filter geometries on product sieving and hydraulic membrane resistance profiles is evaluated in a tangential flow filtration (TFF) perfusion system. The hollow fibers tested had lengths ranging from 19.8 to 41.5 cm, inner diameters (IDs) ranging from 1.0 to 2.6 mm, and pore sizes of 0.2 or 0.65 μm. The results showed that the shortest hollow fibers experienced higher product sieving while larger IDs contributed to both higher product sieving and lower hydraulic membrane resistances, illustrating the impact of filter geometry on process performance. The results also showed 0.2 μm pore size filters maintain higher product sieving, but also higher membrane resistances compared to 0.65 μm pore size filters. This study highlights the need for optimized hollow fiber filter geometries to maximize use of the membrane area, which in turn can reduce production costs and increase scalability of the perfusion process.
