Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for providing a large amount of cell culture medium, in particular for the cultivation of animal cells, for a large reactor system using disposable components.
- the invention further relates to a device arrangement which is set up for carrying out such a method.
- the object of the invention is to provide a method which makes the process of providing a large amount of cell culture medium for a large reactor system using disposable components more efficient and less risky.
- a method for providing a large amount of cell culture medium, in particular for cultivating animal cells, for a large reactor system using disposable components is provided with the following sequence of steps: a) producing a concentrated media stock solution, b) filling the concentrated D) aseptic connection of the disposable containers to the large reactor system by means of a disposable hose system, e) preparation of the media stock solution by feeding highly pure water and / or additives, and f) feeding the processed media strain into the large reactor system.
- the media strain solution is provided in concentrated form and diluted on site in the reactor system to the required mixing ratio.
- the volume and the number of disposable containers required for transport are reduced, each of which must be connected to the reactor system. Thanks to the invention, even large quantities of cell culture medium using disposable components can be efficiently provided to a reactor system and the risks such as contamination of the reactor can be reduced.
- the concentrated media master solution can be matched to the volumes of subsequent mixing systems and / or the reactor volume.
- the preparation of the media strain solution simplifies, since, for example, existing mixing systems can be used without additional modification.
- tuning to the reactor volume allows the intended number of disposable containers to be completely emptied into the reactor with the concentrated media stock solution, thereby minimizing the remainder of media stock solution that is recovered as waste.
- the concentrated media strain solution has a concentration of 5: 1 or higher. The higher the media master solution is concentrated, the lower the volume of media media solution required to prepare a particular solution in the reactor. Having a smaller volume also reduces the number of disposable containers needed to transport the media stem solution. This leads to a cost reduction, since less disposable containers are consumed and the transport is cheaper.
- the concentrated media strain solution is filled into transportable disposable containers each having a volume of 1 liter to 500 liters, preferably 5 liters to 200 liters.
- Disposable containers of this size have the advantage that they can be handled by simple means, for example with roller and pallet trucks. Furthermore, with a fixed concentration of the media strain solution several Disposable containers, in particular of different sizes, are combined appropriately to provide exactly the required amount of media stock solution for the reactor system.
- step a) the following steps take place between step a) and step b): g) filling the concentrated media strain solution into disposable containers, and h) preparing the media stem solution by supplying highly pure water and / or additives.
- the produced concentrated media strain solution is stored at the manufacturer in disposable containers and adapted at a later date to the individual requirements of a reactor system.
- This has the advantage that a concentrated media master lot can be produced in large quantities and later used as a basis for different media master solutions with different requirements.
- additives of the media strain solution can also be supplied which have only a limited shelf life or service life.
- the use of disposable containers offers advantages through simplified quality assurance, in particular hygiene.
- step e) of the process according to the invention unstable chemical components can be supplied to the media strain solution.
- these additives By mixing these additives with a short shelf life just before feeding the media stem solution to the reactor system, the concentration of these time-critical additives in the reactor can be adjusted simply and effectively.
- the disposable tube system may include a static mixer that dilutes the media strain solution, preferably with high purity water, particularly at a 1: 1 concentration.
- the media strain solution can be easily diluted to an appropriate concentration (in particular, in-line dilution methods are possible).
- the media stock solution is sterile-filtered prior to step f) of the process according to the invention. This reduces the risk of contamination of the reactor system.
- the sterile filtration takes place in particular directly before step f) in order to also catch germs which have been introduced in preceding steps. Alternatively, the sterile filtration can be done earlier, for example, when introduced into the disposable hose system.
- sensors are arranged in the disposable tube system which are used to control at least one of steps e) and f) of the method according to the invention by means of an automation unit.
- the automated regulation of these steps ensures a particularly high quality of the prepared media stock solution.
- the object of the invention is also achieved by a device arrangement for providing a large amount of cell culture medium, which is set up for carrying out the method according to the invention.
- the device arrangement according to the invention comprises an electronic monitoring and control device, in particular a SCADA system, which is set up to adjust the concentration of the concentrated media stock solution in step a).
- SCADA system which is set up to adjust the concentration of the concentrated media stock solution in step a).
- the automatic setting eliminates the need for manual intervention.
- the monitoring and control device may then regulate the adjustment of the concentration of the concentrated media stock solution based on the data of the sensors.
- Such automated control taking into account the parameter values provided by the sensors, continuously provides accurate, reproducible results without incurring on-going Operation settings or readjustments must be made by a user.
- an automation unit is preferably provided for the automated regulation of the preparation of the media stock solution and / or the supply of the prepared media stock solution into the large reactor system. Via the automation unit additives can be added automatically and with high accuracy to the diluted media stock solution.
- aseptic connections and a static mixer which dilutes the media stock solution, preferably with highly pure water, in particular to a 1: 1 concentration, can be used to realize a disposable hose system for the reactor system, in particular by a sensor for determining the flow rate can be supplemented.
- aseptic connections are to be understood here hose connections or connections of disposable components, which by means of aseptic connectors or z. B. can be realized by welding TPE tubing or similar measures.
- the disposable containers with gamma radiation can be sterilized, whereby they can be sterilized with little effort before filling and disposed of properly after emptying.
- the reactor system may comprise a disposable bioreactor made of a suitable plastic or a stainless steel reactor. That is, the method is also suitable for hybrid reactor systems with existing stainless steel equipment.

- the concentrated media stock solution 32 is recovered from powdered and / or liquid components 34 which are provided in tubular bags 36.
- the concentrated media stock solution 32 can be produced in a disposable mixing system (not shown).
- the concentration of the concentrated media stock solution 32 is adjusted via a SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system 38 and controlled by means of sensor data of the pH value and the conductivity.
- the concentrated media stock solution 32 is produced with a particularly high concentration of 10: 1, ie each volume unit of the media stock solution 32 contains only very little water.
- the concentrated media stock solution 32 is filled into sterile disposable containers 40.
- the disposable containers 40 each hold a volume of about 200 liters and can be transported by a person with a trolley 42. Furthermore, the disposable containers 40 are sterilizable with gamma radiation, whereby they can be sterilized in a simple manner before filling.
- the disposable containers 40 filled with concentrated media stock solution 32 are intermediately stored before being transported to the reactor system 12.
- the concentrated media stock solution 32 in particular shortly before being transported to the reactor system 12, is further diluted and / or further additives are added to the concentrated media stock solution 32 in order to meet the individual requirements of the reactor system 12 or of the user of the media stock solution 32 ,
- the additives may in particular have components with a limited shelf life or service life, which is why they are not suitable for intermediate storage and therefore are only supplied shortly before transport.
- further additives of the concentrated media stock solution 32 can also be mixed directly during production, in particular if the properties of the concentrated media stock solution 32 do not change adversely until they are fed into the reactor system 12.
- the concentrated media stock solution 32 After this preparation of the concentrated media stock solution 32, it is again filled into corresponding, sterilized disposable container 40.

- the thinned media tree solution 32 is metered with additives 44 via the automation unit 18.
- additives 44 contain, in particular, unstable chemical components which, due to their short lifetime, are added to the media stem solution 32 only at this point in time in order to be able to ensure a certain concentration of these additives 44 in the reactor system 12.
- the prepared media strain solution 32 is passed into the sterile filtration device 20 and sterilized by filtration.
- the sterile-filtered, processed media strain solution 32 is fed to the reactor system 12 and is now available, for example, for the cultivation of animal cells.
- the automation unit 18 monitors all the above-mentioned steps that take place within the reactor system 16 and regulates the entire process by means of the sensor data which are transmitted to the automation unit 18 by the sensors 30. This ensures high process reliability.
