Article Abstract
This research used a customized laboratory setup to compare the filtration performance and fouling buildup during microfiltration with polymeric membranes of skim milk using 2 diafiltration media: ultrafiltration permeate and ultrapure water. Two filtration modes were evaluated: in stage 1, the diafiltration media was added in a 1:1 ratio, with the collection of permeate continuing until the initial protein concentration was restored. In stage 2, retentates and permeates were recycled to simulate fouling accumulation in a steady-state without altering the retentate composition. Utilizing water as the diafiltration medium resulted in higher flux and lower resistance values compared with using ultrafiltration permeate, irrespective of the filtration mode. The concentration had a significant effect on membrane resistance, with no noticeable time-dependent effect on fouling layer development after 60 min of filtration when the retentate composition remained constant. The protein composition of the permeate and extracted foulants were comparable between the 2 media, with caseins predominating in the fouling layer.

Streptococcus pneumoniae is a major pathogen of bacterial pneumonia, meningitis, sepsis, and otitis media. The pathogenicity of this bacterium is largely attributed to its polysaccharide capsule, a protective layer around bacterial cell that enables bacteria to resist against host defense.

Article Synopsis
- Long-acting crystal suspensions of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) involve a mixture of the API, water, and excipients to ensure a sustained release over time.
- PVP K30 was identified as the most effective excipient for stabilizing naproxen crystals, achieving a target crystal size of 1 to 15 μm by using ethanol and water in the process.
- A seven-stage diafiltration process successfully reduced the amount of PVP K30 present in the suspension without compromising crystal stability, demonstrating a significant decrease in the PVP-to-naproxen ratio.
Development of a novel purification method for AAV vectors using tangential flow filtration.

Adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector can efficiently transduce therapeutic genes in various tissue types with less side effects; however, owing to complex multistep processes during manufacture, there have been surges in the pricing of recently approved AAV vector-based gene therapy products. This study aimed to develop a simple and efficient method for high-quality purification of AAV vector via tangential flow filtration (TFF), which is commonly used for concentration and diafiltration of solutions during AAV vector purification. We established a novel purification method using TFF and surfactants.

Inactivated polio vaccine production using attenuated Sabin strains (sIPV) instead of wild type polio viruses (cIPV) is an initiative encouraged by the World Health Organization. This use of attenuated viruses is preferred as it reduces risks related to potential outbreaks during IPV production. Previously, an sIPV production process was set up based on the cIPV production process.
