Working cell banks (WCBu0027s) are commonly applied to initiate cell culture manufacturing campaigns for production of recombinant or therapeutic proteins. These campaigns typically begin with inoculation of cells previously cryopreserved in cryovials or ampoules. The baseline process proceeds from thaw of cell bank cryovials to scaling up through the seed train and inoculum train, followed by fed-batch production. While cryovials are typically used in the development of WCBu0027s and initiation of manufacturing campaigns, they are not optimal for the growing demands of commercial production.Cryovials are small on average (1-2mL/vial) and filling/removal is performed through an open screw cap. This process results in manual operations and the use of many culture vessels, resulting in the risk of contamination and potential campaign-to-campaign variability. Single-use (disposable) bags have been investigated more recently as a possible solution to minimize open handling steps and to shorten seed train scale-up. Bags offer larger storage volumes, but also come assembled with thermoplastic tubing for sterile connections. Wide-spread adoption of single-use bags for WCB applications has not been observed to this point as currently available tubing and connections canu0027t hold up to the demands (break or canu0027t be welded) when stored/transported at frozen or cryogenic (-196°C) temperatures.To overcome these challenges, novel thermoplastic tubing was developed to balance both the flexibility and robustness demands of cryogenic storage and tube welding characteristics necessary for sterile closed-system processing. The new FP-FLEX™ tubing can be frozen and maintained at cryogenic temperatures, thawed and sterile welded to other thermoplastic tubing (C-Flex®).
