White paper addendum to the NIIMBL-BioPhorum buffer stock blending system – a more advanced concept for buffer manufacturing

Aug 2022 | , , , ,

This Addendum signals the release of the design and dataset from the performance testing of the NIIMBL BioPhorum buffer stock blending (BSB) system. It is being made available as ‘open source’, which the team hopes will encourage industry adoption of the BSB System. The paper provides the team’s evaluation of the testing outcomes. It also contains information relating to the methods and approach, and the lessons learned so that others can develop and improve this technology by understanding its benefits and applications.

Buffer Stock Blending (BSB) System: Published papers describing the project, drivers, concept and economic model

Nov 2019 |

Buffers are critical inputs into all downstream processing steps associated with the manufacture of therapeutic proteins. The large volumes of buffer required present ongoing logistical challenges and account for a significant portion of a facility’s footprint, labor requirements and equipment costs. To address these challenges a collaboration of leading biopharmaceutical companies, engineering firms and suppliers has been working together to develop a design for a Buffer Stock Blending (BSB) System to support the preparation of buffers in-line and on demand from concentrated single-component stock solutions. These papers, in the first instance describe the project and activities up to the award of the contract to IPEC, the industry drivers for change and the novel approach to buffer preparation, and in the second paper deep-dive into some of the modeling work done to establish the economics and benefits of the approach.
