How to build an efficient biopharmaceutical production support system to enhance industrial competitiveness?
2024-09-10

With the rapid development of biotechnology, the biopharmaceutical industry has achieved remarkable results worldwide. As a crucial link in the biopharmaceutical industry chain, the biopharmaceutical production support system has a pivotal position in improving production efficiency, reducing costs and ensuring product quality. This paper will focus on the key elements of the biopharmaceutical production support system and discuss how to optimize the production process and improve the overall level of the biopharmaceutical industry.



Biopharmaceuticals It refers to the use of biotechnological means to produce drug products with biological activity. In recent years, with the change of disease spectrum and the improvement of people's demand for health, the biopharmaceutical industry has been developed rapidly. However, there are many challenges in the production process of biopharmaceuticals, such as high production costs, complex processes and strict quality control. Therefore, it is crucial to construct an efficient and stable biopharmaceutical production support system.


Key elements of a biopharmaceutical production support system

  1. Cell culture technology

Cell culture technology is the core link of biopharmaceutical production, mainly including animal cell culture and microbial cell culture. Optimizing cell culture conditions to improve cell growth density and product expression level is the key to improve the efficiency of biopharmaceutical production.

(1) Culture medium: select the appropriate medium to meet the nutrient requirements for cell growth and product expression.

(2) Culture method: according to the cell characteristics, choose suspension culture, adherence culture or microcarrier culture.

(3) Bioreactor: adopt advanced bioreactor to realize automation and intelligent control of cell culture process.


  1. purification process

purification process of biopharmaceutical products is crucial to ensure product quality The purification process consists of the following steps. The purification process mainly consists of the following steps:

(1) Pre-treatment: cell debris and impurities are removed by centrifugation and filtration.

(2) Primary purification: preliminary isolation of the target product by means of affinity chromatography and ion exchange chromatography.

(3) Fine purification: to further improve the purity of the product by means of gel filtration and reversed-phase chromatography.

(4) Virus inactivation and removal: nano-filtration, low pH treatment and other techniques are used to ensure product safety.


  1. Quality control system

The quality control system of biopharmaceutical product quality includes the raw material inspection, production process monitoring, and finished product inspection. The following measures help to improve the level of quality control:

(1) Establish a strict raw material supplier audit system to ensure the quality of raw materials.

(2) Strengthen the monitoring of the production process, real-time grasp of production data, to ensure process stability.

(3) Adopt highly efficient and sensitive testing methods, and carry out comprehensive quality inspection of finished products.


Three optimization strategies for biopharmaceutical production support system

  1. Process optimization

The process is optimized by analyzing the problems in the production process to improve the production efficiency. For example, continuous culture technology is used to replace intermittent culture to reduce production costs.

  1. Equipment upgrading

Introduction of advanced bioreactors, chromatography systems and other equipment, to increase the degree of automation of the production and to reduce the operation error.

  1. Informatization management

Establishing the biopharmaceutical production informatization management system, realizing real-time collection and analysis of production data, and providing the basis for production decision-making.

  1. Talent training and team building

Strengthening the cultivation of biopharmaceutical professionals, improving the overall quality of the team, and providing talent protection for the production support system.


Biopharmaceutical production support system has a pivotal position in the biopharmaceutical industry. By optimizing the cell culture technology, purification process, quality control system and other aspects, the construction of an efficient and stable biopharmaceutical production support system can help to improve production efficiency, reduce costs and ensure product quality. With the continuous progress of biotechnology, the biopharmaceutical production support system will be further improved to provide a strong guarantee for the sustainable development of China's biopharmaceutical industry.
