Pluronic® F-68 10 % – a non-ionic surfactant that protects cells from shear stress in suspension and bioreactor culture and during ultrafiltration.

Catalogue and GMP grade. Pluronic® F-68 10 % is a RUO product (P08-02100); a matched GMP grade (CT-02110) is also available. Both are manufactured or assured by PAN-Celltech and released against a defined quality-control panel on every lot.

Why

  • Shear protection – for suspension and bioreactor systems.
  • GMP grade – for regulated manufacture.
  • Non-ionic surfactant – 10 % solution.

In the process – by application (upstream & downstream)

Pluronic® F-68 10 % is used at the following process steps across the biologics platforms it supports:

Monoclonal antibodies

  • CHO – Shear protectant in stirred bioreactors and shake flasks. Not needed for HybridBoost/ISF-1 (surfactant built in).
  • HEK – Shear protectant in stirred bioreactors and shake flasks. Not needed for HybridBoost/ISF-1 (surfactant built in).
  • Hybridoma – Shear protectant in stirred bioreactors and shake flasks. Not needed for HybridBoost/ISF-1 (surfactant built in).
  • Bioreactor Production (Fed-batch / Perfusion) – Continuous shear protection in sparged bioreactors (CHO/HEK293).

Cell & gene therapy

  • Feed & buffering supplements – Shear protection.
  • Vector Production / Transfection – Shear protection.
  • Ultrafiltration / Diafiltration – Membrane / shear protection.
  • Ultrafiltration / Diafiltration – Membrane protection.

Vaccines

  • Media supplements – Shear protection for suspension / bioreactor culture.

Liposomes & LNP

  • Solvent removal & buffer exchange – membrane / shear protection in TFF.
