Enzyme Scale-Up Production Services

CD Biosynsis offers end-to-end Enzyme Scale-Up Production services, designed to transition lab-scale expression and purification protocols into robust, high-volume manufacturing processes. Scaling up enzyme production from grams to kilograms or metric tons requires specialized expertise in bioprocess engineering, risk management, and regulatory compliance. Our platform focuses on maximizing yield and product consistency while minimizing the cost of goods (COG). We manage the entire pipeline, including fermentation process validation, downstream process (DSP) optimization, and technology transfer documentation, ensuring that your enzyme is produced economically and reliably for industrial, pharmaceutical, or large-scale diagnostic markets.

Bridging Lab Research to Commercial Manufacturing

Scale-up is more than just increasing volume; it involves mitigating process risks associated with larger bioreactors, ensuring consistent mass transfer and heat removal, and optimizing high-throughput purification steps. Our approach begins with a comprehensive review of the bench-scale protocol, followed by rigorous process validation runs at pilot scale (e.g., 50L–500L). We apply techniques like Quality by Design (QbD) to identify Critical Process Parameters (CPPs) and establish robust control strategies for upstream (fermentation) and downstream (chromatography) steps. The result is a fully documented, cGMP-ready process that guarantees high yield and consistent enzyme quality across multiple large-scale batches.

Final Production & Tech Transfer

Risk Assessment: Identify process differences and potential bottlenecks when moving from lab to pilot scale.

Feasibility Runs: Conduct small-scale runs using manufacturing-grade media and equipment to confirm initial yield and purity expectations.

Bioreactor Characterization: Optimize aeration, agitation, and mixing for the target bioreactor size (e.g., 500L).

Robustness Testing: Perform validation runs to demonstrate that the process can consistently operate within acceptable parameter ranges (CPPs).

Chromatography Optimization: Design and validate high-capacity, high-flow chromatography steps (Affinity, IEX, SEC).

Yield and Purity Lock: Ensure the DSP achieves the required purity targets (>95%) with maximized yield and reduced cycle time.

Commercial Production: Execute large-scale manufacturing runs under strict adherence to the finalized Master Batch Record.
Documentation: Finalize the Technology Transfer Package, including all SOPs and validation reports.
Delivery: Ship bulk enzyme product and transfer all validated process documentation to the client or CDMO.

FAQs about Enzyme Scale-Up Production Services

Still have questions?

What is the biggest challenge when scaling up fermentation?

The biggest challenges involve maintaining homogeneity of the culture. This includes ensuring adequate oxygen transfer (mixing/aeration) and heat removal across the entire large volume to prevent local temperature or pH gradients, which can stress the cells and reduce yield.

What is a Technology Transfer Package?

It is the complete documentation required to reproduce the manufacturing process reliably at another site. This includes Master Batch Records, all Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for equipment operation and process steps, raw material specifications, and analytical method reports.

Do you handle cGMP production runs?

We specialize in process development, optimization, and validation that are cGMP-ready. While we can perform pilot-scale runs under strict quality standards, the final commercial cGMP production is typically transferred to the client's cGMP facility or a selected Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (CDMO).

How do you ensure cost reduction during scale-up?

We focus on optimizing raw materials (e.g., cheapening media components), reducing utility consumption (buffer volumes), and increasing efficiency (higher chromatography flow rates and faster cycle times) to lower the Cost of Goods (COG) per gram of final enzyme product.

How much does Metabolic Engineering services cost?

The cost of Metabolic Engineering services depends on the project scope, complexity of the target compound, the host organism chosen, and the required yield optimization. We provide customized quotes after a detailed discussion of your specific research objectives.

Do your engineered strains meet regulatory standards?

We adhere to high quality control standards in all strain construction and optimization processes. While we do not handle final regulatory approval, our detailed documentation and compliance with best laboratory practices ensure your engineered strains are prepared for necessary regulatory filings (e.g., GRAS, FDA).

What to look for when selecting the best gene editing service?

We provide various gene editing services such as CRISPR-sgRNA library generation, stable transformation cell line generation, gene knockout cell line generation, and gene point mutation cell line generation. Users are free to select the type of service that suits their research.

Does gene editing allow customisability?

Yes, we offer very customised gene editing solutions such as AAV vector capsid directed evolution, mRNA vector gene delivery, library creation, promoter evolution and screening, etc.

What is the process for keeping data private and confidential?

We adhere to the data privacy policy completely, and all customer data and experimental data are kept confidential.
