Title | Slow release hydrogel system for nutrient delivery to recombinant cell lines |
Knowhow is available for | Slow release polymer hydrogel system to feed nutrients to cell lines for optimal selection of high protein yielding recombinant cell lines |
Summary | Polymer hydrogel mentioned can be used for slow/extended release (ranging over a period of 2-3 days to about 2 weeks) of nutrients to desired levels that can mimic fed batch conditions and hence used to identify more reliable clones and reducing the chance of failure at large-scale culture stage. These hydrogels could be used to release various nutrients like glucose, peptides, amino acids, nucleotides, etc. |
Advantages | • Nutrients of differing molecular weights (even lower) can be administered with controlled/slow/continuous release profiles • A short 2 step formation procedure • Non- cytotoxic; does not affect cell growth • Sterilizable by gamma irradiation • Usage leads to more reliable clone identification and less chance of failure at large scale culture stage |
