Abstract
In animal cell culture, there are some 25 substrates that both have a significant effect on the culture performance and which can be measured with relative ease. A detailed dynamic simulation for such a culture has been produced and an optimisation policy that use this model to identify ideal media conditions has been developed. This paper describes an extension of that work to include the dynamic optimisation of cultures under fed-batch operation. Two different types of feeding policy were considered – in the first, discrete shots of feed were supplied, while in the second, feed was added continuously. Both policies offered significant improvements in the predicted productivity of the culture - up to 30% that of an experimentally “optimised”batch culture.
