Comparative Study: Low-Volume Mixing Performance on Protein Formulation Shear Stress

In biologics production, mixing operations are crucial for maintaining fluid homogeneity. However, shear stress during mixing can affect protein stability and quality attributes. Understanding how mixer design and process parameters influence shear force generation is essential for product integrity.

Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) modeling during product development demonstrated that the Mixed4Sure™ Bottom Mount impeller design outperformed traditional stir bars. Subsequent laboratory evaluation using lysozyme as a protein model confirmed these findings.

This session will highlight the importance of innovative mixer designs in optimizing protein formulation processes that will help you maintain product quality. During the session, the following key takeaways will be discussed:

  • CFD modeling revealed superior mixing performance of the new impeller geometry
  • Laboratory studies validated the CFD predictions
  • The Mixed4Sure™ Bottom Mount demonstrated lower shear stress compared to conventional stir bars, indicating improved mixing performance in shear sensitive process steps.

  • Video PharmaTainer™ Drop Test

    Gamma-irradiated 10 L PharmaTainer™ bottles were filled to nominal volume and frozen to -80°C for 2 days. The bottles were then dropped two times in a row onto a flat concrete surface from a height of 110cm.

    After the contents were thawed, leak tests were performed on the sides, base, and closure. All bottles passed the drop test with only minor scratches!

    Challenges of the freezing processIn biopharmaceutical manufacturing, it is common to bulk-freeze biological drug substance (DS), with target storage temperatures ranging from -20℃ to below -65℃. These temperatures offer a number of benefits – they can stabilize the DS long-term, helping to maximize its shelf life, allowing for bulk storage until needed. Freezing can also help minimize the risk of potential microbial growth in bioburden-controlled DS, as well as circumvent cumulative stability of DS and drug product (DP).Th...
