Published: February 2025

Virus concentration using hollow fibers is widely used for vaccine production to maintain viral infectivity with low shear stress and to allow for easier scale-up of production. However, research laboratories often have limited available viral materials at the early stage of vaccine development, making it difficult to find an optimal hollow-fiber. In addition, few research articles have reported on optimizing hollow fiber pore size and membrane structure for virus concentration. In this study, the previously established handheld hollow fiber virus concentration method was modified to reduce the sample volume required and to enable simple and easy hollow fiber screening. The handheld hollow fiber screening method for virus concentration was confirmed to be effective using Zika as a model virus.

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.

Suboptimal spatial utilization and inefficient access to internal porosity preclude porous carbon cathodes from delivering high energy density in zinc-ion hybrid capacitors (ZIHCs). Inspired by the function of capillaries in biological systems, this study proposes a facile coordination-pyrolysis method to fabricate thin-walled hollow carbon nanofibers (CNFs) with optimized pore structure and surface functional groups for ZHICs. The capillary-like CNFs maximize the electrode/electrolyte interface area, facilitating the optimal utilization of energy storage sites.

Cryopreservation enhances the availability of "off-the-shelf" cell therapies. However, the choice between tissue culture polystyrene (TCP) and hollow fiber system (HFB) system for adipose-derived stem cell (ASC) production remains a critical decision, with implications for scalability, reproducibility, and the clinical efficacy. Therefore, the characteristics of ASCs expanded in TCP and HFB and cryopreserved were compared.
