Monitoring Protein Aggregation During Downstream Processing

– Insights Using the NanoFlowSizer –

Protein aggregation is a major concern during downstream processing (DSP) of biopharmaceuticals, affecting both product quality and safety.

This whitepaper explores how the NanoFlowSizer enables real-time monitoring of both submicron and rare subvisible protein aggregates during peristaltic pumping. Using a combination of Spatially Resolved Dynamic Light Scattering (PhaSR-DLS) and Large Particle Detection (LPD), the study reveals how mechanical stresses influence aggregation over time.

The results demonstrate a more efficient, single-instrument approach to aggregation monitoring, supporting better control over critical quality attributes in DSP.

Key Insights:

  • Real-time, non-invasive monitoring of submicron and subvisible aggregates.
  • The role of mechanical stress in protein aggregation during peristaltic pumping.
  • Benefits of combining PhaSR-DLS and LPD for comprehensive particle analysis.
  • Early aggregation detection to optimize process efficiency and product quality.
  • How a single instrument can simplify and enhance aggregate monitoring.
