    Scale-X™ Bioreactor Seed Amplification Enhancement Application Note
    111 1 Introduction
    (1) (2) (3-6) (7).
    Figure 1.
    Overview of large-scale adherent bioreactor seed amplification chain requirements using plastic culture vessels
    The figure above depicts the continuous steps
    required to prepare a 600 m² fixed-bed bioreactor inoculum using plastic culture vessels (T-bottles and multilayer vessels).
    Assumptions: 1) Inoculation density of 3x104 for plastic culture vessels, 1x104 for large-scale nitro 600 bioreactors, 2) harvest yields of 2x105 cells/cm² for plastic culture vessels, and 3) 632 cm²
    for each multilayer vessel (MT) surface area.

    Figure 3.
    Overview of the cell harvesting protocol for the scale-X bioreactor
    Cells are expanded in a scale-X bioreactor for 4-6 days (1
    ).
    On harvest day, rinse the bioreactor (2) and then fill and incubate with enzyme solution for 20-25 min (3).

    Subsequently, the bioreactor is transferred to the harvest module while applying vibration and drainage (4
    ).
    Finally, rinse is performed for cell recovery (5
    ).
    Steps 1-3 are performed
    using a bioreactor mounted on the scale-X hydro/carbo controller.
    For steps 4-5, these bioreactors are transferred to the harvest module
    .

    Summary of cell harvest results
    Figure 4.
    Reoccupation of harvested cells
    in T-bottles and fixed-bed bioreactors.
    A) Cells harvested from all bioreactor runs are re-seeded in T-flasks for growth curve and morphological assessment
    .
    Micrographs
    of cells harvested from a fixed-bed bioreactor (left) and control cells harvested from a T-bottle (right) on day 3 after re-seeding are shown.
    B) Cells harvested from a scale-X hydro bioreactor (#4) are used to seed a second hydro bioreactor (#5
    ).
    The trend
    of cell density (left axis) and metabolite lactate and glucose concentration (right axis) is shown in two consecutive runs.
    Arrows indicate the time
    of harvesting and reinoculation to the second bioreactor.

    Figure 5.
    Process economy for large-scale viral production based on adherent cells, seed amplification chain strengthening
    The overall cost estimate
    was calculated by comparing processes using plastic culture vessels and using scale-X carbo 30, inoculated with a 600 m² fixed-bed bioreactor at 1x104 cells/cm².
    The results include only the cost
    of the seed amplification phase.
    The cost
    of continuous unit operations was not covered in this study.
    The key assumptions used are detailed
    in the Materials and Methods section.
