Project Overview
A vaccine development project required a fully integrated, GMP-compliant bioprocess system to support production scale-up from pilot to industrial manufacturing.
The client aimed to establish a reliable and compliant production platform capable of meeting strict regulatory standards while ensuring process consistency across multiple scales.
The core objective: build a scalable and GMP-ready bioreactor system for vaccine production.
The Challenge
The project involved several critical requirements:
Scaling from 150L to 1500L and up to 15,000L
Ensuring full compliance with GMP standards
Maintaining consistent process parameters across all scales
Implementing a validated cleaning system (CIP)
Integrating multiple systems into a unified control platform
Supporting sterile and controlled vaccine production processes
Vaccine manufacturing requires extremely high standards in sterility, traceability, and process reliability, making system design and integration particularly complex.
