Downstream Process Development


WuXi Vaccines’ Downstream Process Development (DSPD) team applies state-of-the-art technology in purification process development, process scale-up, process characterization, and technology transfer to cGMP production. DSDP has extensive experience developing purification schemes for a wide-variety of vaccines including VLP and recombinant protein subunit or antibody-based prophylactic vaccine approaches.

 

 

  • Downstream Process Platform

 

    • The DSPD team is capable of developing cGMP purification process for a wide-range of vaccine products to meet our customers’ needs. An array of chromatographic resins, including affinity, ion exchange, hydrophobic interaction, hydroxyapatite, mix-mode etc., can be screened. These downstream process development activities can be completed within a 12-24-week timeline.

 

  • High Throughput Process Development Platform

 

 

  • Continuous Processing Platform

 

      • WuXi Vaccines DSDP team of experts can establish new purification schemes or convert batch processes to a continuous process. We can work with our Upstream Cell Culture Process Development team to integrate downstream continuous process operations into one advanced continuous processing platform.

     

      • Convert Batch Process to Continuous Process-2 weeks

     

      • Reduce Protein A resin cost by up to 90%

     

      • Increase downstream productivity by 100%

     

    • Increase downstream capacity by 1000%

 

Continuous Processing Platform
