Disposable Cell Culture Process Train: Project Drivers Decision to move JNJ Platform from Perfusion to Fed Batch Historically Janssen Cell Culture Processes were perfusion based Outsource of Upstream Fed Batch Processing to CMOs Limited in house experience in Fed Batch Decision made to provide back-up internal supply chain capacity for Fed Batch material Finesse CellWorld San Francisco 12
1000L SUB Project Scope Capability for pre-clinical, clinical and commercial production Project must deliver 2 x 1,000 Single Use Bioreactors The capability to have 2 Single Use Bioreactors in operation with 9 months notice Project cannot interfere with the current clinical / commercial manufacturing schedule or approved Operational areas Project must cost less than $21m including all works The new suite must be integrated into existing Automated Systems Multi product capability on a campaign basis Maximize use of disposable technologies Finesse CellWorld San Francisco 13
Why choose to go disposable? Batch Turnaround time Product change over capabilities Cleaning validation requirements Disposable technology supports pre-clinical/early phase production Installation and Qualification Reduction in overall IOQ activities In-house historical disposables experience Finesse CellWorld San Francisco 14
What was the equipment selection criteria? The following criteria was applied to the equipment and disposables selection process: Bag film defined as CX514 material An Integrator with GMP experience Availability of novel disposables The control system needed to integrate into the existing site systems Customizable Assemblies Finesse CellWorld San Francisco 15
What did the Project Deliver? Fully Disposable PreCulture Train Single Use Bioreactors (SUBs) 1 x 250L Seed SUB 2 x 1000L Production SUB Single Use Mixers (SUMs) Harvest Collection SUM DPC (Chromatography) Steps Media Prep Disposable Bio-containers for sampling and media/buffer storage Extensive array of disposable assemblies Finesse CellWorld San Francisco 16

Raman Background Correlated the spectra to the off-line data Model developed for each key process parameter (eg: Glucose, Lactate) you re interested in measuring. Model development is time intensive Possible future applications include: Potential for use as an inline monitor, therefore reducing the reliance on off-line instruments Feed cycle optimisation * Research funded by the Irish Research Council Finesse CellWorld San Francisco 43
