User Manual DASware design Introduction

In current bioprocessing technologies, process-oriented criteria are playing an increasingly

important role in the assessment of product quality. Quality by Design (QbD) is a concept that

was highlighted, among others, in an FDA guideline on process validation (General Principles

and Practices, FDA, January 2011). It states the need for monitoring procedures already at the

development stage in order to achieve a controlled process and to ensure a defined product

quality.

This chapter outlines the concepts of design space, design of experiments (DoE) and DoE

fields of application. This is followed by a brief overview of the parallel bioreactor system

DASbox

and

DASware design

itself, including a schematic process flow.

Design space

In general, different process settings can be used to achieve good product results. This

multidimensional space which is defined by the factors and the corresponding levels is

referred to as design space (Fig 1). Within this space, the required quality of the product is

guaranteed.

The identification of a suitable design space requires a variety of implementations. Design of

experiments (DOE) can be helpful to reduce the extent of required testing – the total number

of individual experiments.

Introduction 2.

Fig 1: Design space with 3 factors in 2 levels

Design space

Introduction User Manual DASware design

Design of experiments (DoE)

DoE (Fig. 2) is often used to reduce the number of process runs necessary to determine a

suitable design space (Fig 1) for the manufacture of a product. The amount of time saved by

using a multifactorial DoE approach, compared to the classical variation of individual

parameters (one factor at a time), significantly reduces the development overhead and helps

to shorten development times.

The advantages of DoE include:

o Fewer individual experiments required.

o Main effects and interactions are recorded.

o Effects of main factors can be quantified and statistically evaluated.

o Process knowledge is improved, allowing the development of more efficient procedures.

o The description of functional process connections facilitates the definition of a mathema-

tical model and thus the design space (Fig 1).

The following points are to be noted regarding DoE-based process development:

o The factors which have an influence on the target value(s) must be identified.

o The process settings must be varied meaningfully, e.g., within the physiologically

acceptable temperature or pH range of the used microorganisms/cells.

o Discrete factor values can be selected using prior knowledge or previous examinations.

DoE Fields of Application

A DoE is used, for example, in the process development of biopharmaceuticals, such as

vaccines. Equally suitable is the production of biochemicals such as bioethanol or also

foodstuffs such as lactic acid. Individual fields of application for optimization are screening,

strain or cell line characterization as well as process development itself. The following figure

(Fig. 3) provides a schematic overview of the DoE fields of application.

Since DoE minimizes the number of process runs and optimizes the acquisition of knowledge,

a number of software products for DoE is available in the market. The following is a list of

some well-known products:

o JMP®

o Design Expert®

o Minitab™

o MODDE®

Fig. 3: DoE fields of application

Introduction User Manual DASware design

System Platform for DoE

Since in the field of bioprocess applications typical designs of experiments can be carried out

at the same time using a number of bioreactors, a parallel system is perfectly suited to

support the principle of DoE.

DASGIP Parallel Bioreactor Systems

ensure defined and controlled process conditions to

facilitate both the screening of bacteria or cell cultures and the optimization of media or

substrate quantities on a small scale. For example, the easily extendable modular

DASbox

System (four mini bioreactors per unit) offers controlled and reproducible cultivation results.

In

DASGIP Control

all processes can be precisely defined, optimized and adapted. In addition,

all results are accurately and precisely documented.

DASware design

combines statistical design of experiments (DOE) with parallel bioreactor

systems, e.g., the

DASbox

or other modular parallel bioreactor systems from DASGIP. The

degree of automation achieved considerably simplifies and shortens the processes.

Introduction User Manual DASware design

User Manual DASware design DASware® design

The configuration, implementation and evaluation of complex experimental designs is a major

challenge in process development.

DASware design

helps implementing such designs by

seamlessly integrating DoE in

DASGIP Control

and using its precise, parallel process

implementation.

With DoE the most important process parameters are initially identified to enable optimal

process settings to be made. These parameters can be easily entered via the DoE Builder in

DASware design

. All values are then seamlessly transferred to the Recipe Editor, where they

can be supplemented. After a workflow has been started, the parallel bioreactor processes are

carried out under approved controlled conditions. Once this is completed, the process results

are documented and can be easily evaluated using the

DASGIP Information Manager

. In

addition, the evaluated data can be reimported into to a standard DoE software tool.

The additional entries for this process are saved together with the process values and are

available for additional analysis in each further export.

5. You can use the button to the left next to each column heading to select relational

operators for the qualification of a query.

Example: You want to select all process data where

E. coli

K12 was used and for which a

product yield of at least 0.2 g/ L was achieved. For this, the two query criteria are entered in

the corresponding CellLine and Product Yield [g/L]

columns. The table will then list all the

matching process data.

The entry of search criteria is not case-sensitive, but spaces are considered.

With the help of historical data you can, for example, also carry out a plausibility check of

new process runs using a batch to batch comparison. Selecting actual and historical runs at

the same time generates a combined report for subsequent independent analysis.

3.6. DASGIP DOCUMENTATION WIZARD

Evaluating and graphically displaying exported process data is particularly easy and

convenient using the Microsoft Excel® add-in

DASGIP Documentation Wizard

. Both current

and historical process data can be used and compared for the automatic creation of

cultivation reports. Even individual ranges of process values, such as pH or DO, can be

automatically grouped from different process datasets and displayed together graphically. It is

recommended to select the process duration or directly the inoculation time as basis to ensure

that the data series are automatically synchronized.

The synchronized process flows significantly facilitate plausibility checks.

All diagrams generated in the

DASGIP Documentation Wizard

can be formatted and edited

with the standard Microsoft Excel® options.

More information can be found in the DASGIP Documentation Wizard Manual.

Design of Experiments (DoE) is a method for the planning and statistical evaluation of

experiments/processes. The goal of DoE is to learn as much as possible about the

relationships between influencing variables (Input) and results (Output) with as little effort as

possible.

DASware design

, especially in combination with the

DASGIP Information Manager

, supports

and synchronizes process management through the seamless integration of DoE.

The experiment design, which has been either created in the DoE Builder or imported from

external DoE software tools, can be easily integrated and implemented in

DASGIP Control

.

DoE software tools can provide the experiment design that can be easily integrated and

implemented in

DASGIP Control

.

This chapter outlines the implementation of a DoE strategy with and without DoE software

tools (JMP) as an example.

4.1. FULL FACTORIAL DOE WITH THREE FACTORS AND TWO LEVELS

A full factorial experiment setup consists of two or more factors with discrete values that are

determined in two or more levels. In contrast to a fractional factorial setup, all factor

combinations are carried out. This approach allows the observation or calculation of the

effects of individual factors on the response as well as the interactions between the factors.

In the following, the cultivation of

Escherichia coli

is considered with three variable factors in

two levels for the determination of optimal growth conditions. The response used is the

bacteria biomass which is determined based on the determination of the optical density

(OD600). All possible combinations are carried out on

DASbox

System with three blocks.

Please keep in mind that this simple example is intended to teach - the outcome is evident.

Center Point Analysis

To obtain sufficient information about the accuracy of the process results, the use of

repetitions is recommended in literature. However, this significantly increases the work

involved. This is generally not feasible in industrial practice.

Application Example 4.

User Manual DASware® design Application Example

The selected experiment setup includes two levels per factor, so that a possible non-linear

relationship (curvature) between the factors and the response cannot be eliminated. A center

point determination will help to verify this. If the center point deviation is significant, then at

least one factor has a non-linear influence.

It is important that the center point experiments are carried out together with the other

experiments and not carried out later. If the experiment is divided into several blocks, a center

point experiment should be implemented in each block. This is the only way of distinguishing

between a deviation from the linearity and a change over time.

The threefold determination of the center point provides reliable information on the accuracy

of the data at an economically justifiable cost.

In addition, the influence of inoculation cultures (differences between reactor blocks) can be

determined.

The selected settings are summarized below:

 Three factors with two levels and center points

The corresponding three-dimensional experimental space (design space) with center point

looks as follows:

 Response

 Randomization

The reactor positions are assigned to the three blocks. The assignment is random within the

blocks to prevent a trend or any undetected fluctuation (e.g., sensor signal) from distorting

the estimation of the effects of the factors.

DoE Builder

The DoE Builder allows the desired entries to be entered directly:

1. Select the number of factors: 3

2. Select the number of responses: 1

3. Select Use center points

4. Select Randomize

5. Select Number of systems 1 and Block size 4.

23 = 8 runs are needed. In addition, a center point is determined for each block so that a total

of 11 runs are necessary. They are randomly distributed to system on an automatic basis and

summarized in table form as follows:

The entries in the DoE Builder can be saved using the Save button in order to transfer them if

required, e.g., to an additional

DASbox

PC.

After the suitable workflow has been selected as a template, all entries are transferred with

Create Workflow to the Recipe Editor.

Recipe Editor

In the Recipe Editor, the entries can be adjusted or supplemented before the process is

implemented.

The second run (block) is shown as an example:

All entries are saved using the Save button and the process can be started using the Run

button.

Process Monitoring and Control

During a process any manual operation in the Reactor View is possible. However we

recommend avoiding any manual adjustment since they affect the DoE result potentially.

After all processes are completed, the process data is saved in

DASGIP Control

and can be

used for further analysis.

DASGIP Information Manager

The

DASGIP Information Manager

is a helpful tool for performing plausibility checks and for

complementing data. Process data can be grouped together with historical data and exported

(see also 3.5).

Data Analysis

The exported process data can be generated by using the Export Table function and analyzed

in Microsoft Excel®.

Application Example User Manual DASware® design

 Most favorable factor combinations

The most favorable factor combination is determined by the highest biomass concentration.

 Main effects

The main effects are analyzed by calculating the average values for the high (+) and the low

(-) factor level. The difference of the average values is the effect in question.

It is obvious that the factor glucose concentration has the largest effect on the response

biomass. This is represented graphically with 1 and -1 for the two levels below.

In addition, the determined center points provide information about a possible deviation from

linearity. The 3-fold implementation of the center point determination used in this example

provides an indication of the chance variation.

 Interactions

The figures below show the average values of both levels of a factor depending on the setting

of an additional factor.

An indicator of an interaction is the degree of non-parallelism between the corresponding

straight lines. The greater the degree of parallelism between the straight lines, the lower the

interactions.

The presented results indicate an interaction between the factors pH and temperature,

because the straight lines intersect. In the subsequent stage of process optimization, these

two factors should be considered together.

 Most favorable factor combinations

The most favorable factor combination is determined by the highest biomass concentration.

 Main effects

The main effects are analyzed at this point using a linear regression. The gradient is an

indication of the effect of a factor.

In the following, it can be seen that the glucose concentration has the largest effect on the

response biomass.

Application Example User Manual DASware® design

 Interactions

The average values of both levels of a factor are also shown here depending on the setting of

another factor.

The results indicate an interaction between the factors pH and temperature. These should

therefore be considered together in a subsequent process optimization stage.

The following shows an additional display to determine the significance of effects, both of

individual factors as well as of factor-factor interactions.
