Process Discovery

Process Discovery

Process Design – Kemp Proteins is dedicated to developing scalable processes that are robust, and cost effective, to facilitate a successful transfer of your molecule of interest into GMP production. With this goal in mind, we perform our process development under a Quality Management System (QMS) that is certified to ISO 13485:2016.

Creative SolutionsKemp Proteins excels at identifying practical but inventive solutions to solve Upstream (USP) and downstream (DSP) challenges for various proteins. We navigate the maze to reach an optimized USP and DSP for successful tech transfer whether it is a therapeutic, diagnostic or vaccine protein candidate.

Process Optimization – We continually challenge the process throughout the developmental stage, to identify and implement minor adjustments that can have profound effects on the yield and attributes of the final product.  Process Analytical Technologies (PAT) are implemented from early to late stage of development to ensure that the Critical Process Parameters (CPP) and Critical Quality Attributes (CQA) are identified and validated.

One Stop for Initial Conception Through Tech Transfer:

  • Development, optimization and reproducibility
  • Development of Analytical Tools for in-process control and final release
  • Optimization of expression and scale up parameters
  • Bench scale to production scale

Deliverables:

  • Generation of early reference material
  • Material for your Toxicology Studies
  • Master Production Dossier for your GMP production partner

USP Capabilities

  • DOE experiments for yield and quality improvement
  • Small-scale qualification and process characterization studies
  • Development of Process Analytical Tools to ensure that the product has the desired CQA
  • Optimization of media and feeding strategy at lab scale (0.2 L, 1 L, 3 L, 7 L, 15 L, 37L)
  • Scale-up and Confirmation runs (up to 250-L SUB for Mammalian/Insect and 55-L for Bacterial)

DSP Capabilities

  • DOE implemented for optimal development
  • Harvest Optimization – centrifugation, depth-filtration, cell disruption, isolation and solubilization of inclusion bodies
  • Purification at different scales using a range of chromatography techniques
  • Small-scale qualification and process characterization studies

Kemp Proteins’ Project Management Process

Client communication: Initial discussions and an ongoing collaborative communication process is vital to us maximizing the potential for your successful project outcome. Our initial discussions are information gathering to enable us to generate a statement of work, a “project plan”, that is shared with you. Together we refine the plan until the plan captures your project specifications and deliverables and nuances that may be particular to your protein of interest and its intended use. We will supply regular updates through conference calls or information download through electronic means such as “Box” or your preferred alternative.

Project Commencement: The project begins when we agree on the project specifications, and you provide us any client specific deliverables. Each project is different but runs to a general set approach.

Project Approach: The USP is generally developed based on the clients preferred host and is supplemented with additional optimization to arrive at cost effective harvested quantity of the protein of interest. Our approach to specialty purification development is dependent on the project being undertaken. However, they all have certain commonalities. Using a recent project as an example we have outlined the steps for this project – other projects and resins have different steps. We have found this an efficient and effective process to achieve the desired outcome of our clients.
