Membrane fouling is a common and complex challenge with cell culture perfusion process in biopharmaceutical manufacturing that can have detrimental effects on the process performance. In this study, we evaluated a method to calculate the hollow fiber membrane resistance at different time points for water and supernatant. In addition, the number of subvisible particles of < 200 nm.
