13. DSP Productivity Enhancement StepContinuous Protein A Chromatography [g/(L·h)] 3.1 Cation Exchange Chromatography [g/(L·h)] 3.7 Overall [g/day] ~3x MCC steps enjoy a modest specific productivity increase Other steps suffer from lower specific productivities because they are slowed to accommodate the incoming flow rate The overall DSP will be 2-4x more productive (g/day) by operating in parallel (dependent on Protein A column sizing)

14. Conclusions and Future Work A platform cation exchange step was transformed into a MCC process –3.6X specific productivity increase –Maintained consistent aggregate separation performance compared to the batch process –Integrated into continuous DSP top reflect platform operation with 84% yield at the 100L scale –Matched cycles with protein A step Interface CEX step with continuous viral filtration Scale up process to 2000L in 24hours
