Plasmid Process Characterization and Validation (PC/PV) Service at Creative Biolabs

Plasmid process characterization and validation are essential to ensuring that plasmid DNA manufacturing processes are robust, reproducible, and scalable. For any plasmid-based product-whether for research, clinical trials, or commercial production—the integrity, purity, and performance of the plasmid DNA must be carefully controlled. Our Plasmid Process Characterization and Validation (PC/PV) Service evaluates and optimizes all aspects of the plasmid production process, including upstream and downstream operations.

Through in-depth process characterization and rigorous validation, we guarantee that plasmid DNA production meets the highest quality and safety standards. Our PC/PV service supports the successful scale-up of plasmid production processes, minimizing the risk of batch-to-batch variability and enhancing overall productivity.

• Service We Offer

• Process Characterization
  • Process Mapping and Analysis: We begin by evaluating the entire plasmid production process, identifying key parameters and their impact on yield, purity, and quality. This step involves mapping out all critical steps in the upstream (e.g., cell culture conditions, fermentation parameters) and downstream (e.g., plasmid purification, chromatography) processes.
  • Critical Process Parameters (CPP) and Critical Quality Attributes (CQA): We identify and define the CPPs and CQAs that directly impact plasmid quality. This includes parameters such as temperature, pH, cell density, feed rates, and purification techniques, which are carefully optimized for reproducibility and scalability.
  • Risk Assessment: Using advanced methodologies, we conduct risk assessments to pinpoint potential process weaknesses, allowing us to mitigate variability and improve the robustness of the process.
• Process Optimization
  • Scale-Up Optimization: Transitioning from small-scale laboratory production to large-scale manufacturing often introduces new challenges. We provide in-depth scale-up support, optimizing production parameters and identifying bottlenecks at each stage to ensure efficient, large-scale plasmid production.
  • Yield Enhancement: We utilize cutting-edge techniques such as feeding strategies, co-culture systems, and advanced bioreactor technologies to increase plasmid yield while maintaining the integrity of the product.
  • Purification Process Optimization: We optimize purification strategies, including affinity chromatography, anion exchange, and size-exclusion chromatography, to ensure that plasmid DNA is consistently of high quality.
• Process Validation
  • Method Validation: We conduct method validation studies for key analytical tests used to assess plasmid DNA quality, such as endotoxin levels, identity, integrity, and concentration. These studies are performed to ensure that the testing methods are accurate, reproducible, and compliant with regulatory standards.
  • Batch Validation: We perform validation runs under defined conditions, ensuring that the plasmid manufacturing process produces consistent and reproducible results. This includes verifying the robustness of the upstream and downstream processes through controlled pilot-scale and commercial-scale batches.

• Process Workflow

• Technologies Utilized

• High-Throughput Screening and Analytics: For rapid analysis of key parameters, helping to optimize plasmid yield, purity, and quality.
• Bioreactor Systems: Scalable bioreactor systems for process development and optimization.
• Chromatography Techniques: Advanced chromatographic techniques, including affinity, ion-exchange, and size-exclusion chromatography, for effective plasmid purification.
• Endotoxin Testing: LAL (Limulus Amebocyte Lysate) assay for endotoxin detection to ensure safe clinical use.
• PCR & Gel Electrophoresis: For verifying plasmid integrity, identity, and confirmation of plasmid constructs.
