Top 5 considerations for a robust harvest process

The top considerations for a robust harvest process are sustainability, time, cost, space, and scale. Thermo Fisher Scientific discusses the importance of defining the process for producing, harvesting, and purifying molecules in drug development, particularly focusing on monoclonal antibodies (mAb), recombinant proteins, vaccines, gene therapy, and cell therapeutics. Further, Thermo Fisher compares depth filtration and centrifugation as common harvesting methods, analyzing factors such as consumable usage, space requirement, time efficiency, and cost implications. Sustainability is also emphasized as a critical factor, considering aspects like energy consumption, plastic usage, and chemical requirements.
