Parameter setting: a core element of the biopharmaceutical industry
2024-11-25

In the biopharmaceutical industry, the importance of parameterization cannot be overstated. From laboratory research to production process to quality control, every step of the process is inseparable from accurate parameter settings. This article will focus on parameter settings in the biopharmaceutical industry and share some dry goods for you.


1.Overview of the biopharmaceutical industry

Biopharmaceuticals are drugs produced by utilizing biotechnology. Produced drugs, mainly including protein drugs, antibody drugs, vaccines and so on. Compared with traditional chemical drugs, biological drugs are characterized by high efficiency, low toxicity and strong targeting, and have become an important part of the global pharmaceutical market. In recent years, China's biopharmaceutical industry has made great progress, and the market scale has been expanding year by year, but it is still facing problems such as insufficient innovation ability and uneven production level.

2. Importance of parameter settings in the biopharmaceutical industry

Research phase

In the research phase of biopharmaceuticals, parameter settings are crucial for the accuracy of experimental results. The following are some of the key parameters:

(1) Temperature: In biological experiments, temperature has an important impact on enzyme activity, cell growth, etc. For example, during PCR amplification, the temperature setting needs to be accurate to 0.1℃.

(2) pH: The pH of the biological system has a significant effect on protein structure, enzyme activity and so on. The pH value needs to be strictly controlled during the experiment to ensure the reliability of the experimental results.

(3) Time: Time parameters in biological experiments include reaction time, incubation time and so on. Accurate control of time is essential for the reproducibility of experimental results.

Production stage

Parameter settings in the production process of biopharmaceuticals are decisive for product quality. The following are some key parameters:

(1) Fermentation parameters: including temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, rotational speed and so on. During the fermentation process, these parameters need to be monitored and adjusted in real time to ensure that the strain grows in a good state and to improve the product yield.

(2) Purification parameters: including affinity chromatography, ion exchange chromatography, gel filtration chromatography and so on. During the purification process, the chromatographic parameters need to be optimized according to the characteristics of the target product to improve the purification efficiency.

(3) Preparation parameters: including lyophilized protective agent formulation, lyophilization curve, aseptic filling and so on. Precise control of parameters during the preparation process helps to ensure product quality.

Quality control stage

In the quality control process of biopharmaceuticals, the influence of parameter settings on the test results should not be ignored. The following are some key parameters:

(1) Detection method: choose the appropriate detection method, such as ELISA, HPLC, mass spectrometry, etc., and optimize the detection conditions.

(2) Standard preparation: prepare high purity and high activity standards to ensure the accuracy of detection results.

(3) Instrumentation: calibrate the instrumentation to ensure the reliability of the test data.

3. Key points of parameter setting in biopharmaceutical industry

Based on the theoretical basis: parameter setting should be combined with the theoretical basis of biopharmaceutical, such as enzyme kinetics and cell biology.

Rigorous experimental design: the optimal parameter combinations are screened by pre-experiments, orthogonal experiments and other methods.

Data analysis and optimization: experimental data were collected and analyzed using statistical methods to continuously optimize the parameter settings.

Strict production management: In the production process, the parameter settings are strictly implemented to ensure product quality.

Continuous Improvement: According to the actual production, continuously adjust and optimize the parameter settings to improve the production efficiency.


In short, parameter setting in the biopharmaceutical industry is a key factor in determining product quality. From research, production to quality control, parameter setting needs to be highly emphasized in every process. By continuously optimizing parameters, China's biopharmaceutical industry is expected to achieve high-quality development and bring more benefits to patients around the world.
