Description
Summary:Objectives The applicability of proton-transfer-reaction mass spectrometry (PTR-MS) as a versatile online monitoring tool to increase consistency and robustness for recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) producing HEK 293 bioprocesses was evaluated. We present a structured workflow to extract process relevant information from PTR-MS data. Results Reproducibility of volatile organic compound (VOC) measurements was demonstrated with spiking experiments and the process data sets used for applicability evaluation consisted of HEK 293 cell culture triplicates with and without transfection. The developed data workflow enabled the identification of six VOCs, of which two were used to develop a soft sensor providing better real-time estimates than the conventional capacitance sensor. Acetaldehyde, another VOC, provides online process information about glucose depletion that can directly be used for process control purposes. Conclusions The potential of PTR-MS for HEK 293 cell culture monitoring has been shown. VOC data derived information can be used to develop soft sensors and to directly set up new process control strategies.
