06.23.26 -- Emerging Technologies In Aseptic Processing: Hype Vs. Operational Reality

SPONSOR

Developing a scalable, GMP-ready AAV8 production platform is complex and requires a unified approach across upstream and downstream operations, data-driven decisions, and efficient progression from bench scale to manufacturing-relevant volumes. In this white paper, Matica Biotechnology and Sartorius demonstrate how collaboration enabled the design, optimization, and scale-up of an integrated AAV8 process to 50L with reproducible performance, sharing practical lessons in upstream optimization, downstream purification, capsid separation, and analytics to support flexible gene therapy manufacturing.
