Cadence BioSMB Process 350 System – User Data / Feedback A total of 2.3 Kg mAb (400 L at 5.8 g/L) was purified in 12 hours (13 cycles) Only 3.85 L of Protein A media was required (KANEKA KanCapA) A comparable batch process would require 20 L of Protein A media Five columns was the optimal configuration This is approximately 10% of the maximum capacity of the

Cadence BioSMB Process system Batch process was translated to continuous at PD scale and

transferred to Process Scale (150x) in less than 3 weeks Operation (HMI) of Cadence BioSMB Process system is

relatively easy (comparable with Cadence BioSMB PD) Result for Process Scale and PD Scale are very similar

(performance and product quality attributes) The Cadence BioSMB PD process successfully scaled up >150-fold 9

Cadence Virus Inactivation System Comprised of one control unit and one or

two mixers Designed for both continuous and

batch operations Fully automated semi-continuous operation – For processing up to 2000 L fermentation volume – Single-use gamma irradiated flow path – GMP ready – Uses proven low pH virus inactivation methodology – Capacity up to 30 L/h volume

15


Cadence Virus Inactivation Operation Concept

16


Single-Use System Error free installation ensured by – Tagged connections – Shadow boarding – Unique genders and sizes on certain connections to make wrong assembly impossible

Mixer and manifolds can be installed in under

30 minutes Sample port in recirculation loop

for highly representative sampling No sample port on mixer

End titer 0 0 0 3.30E+07

Integrated with Cadence BioSMB Process System, or standalone Single use flow path with installation in less than 30 minutes Capable of fully automated processing for batch chromatography No dead legs – Tested with: – Bacteriophage – B. diminuta – Riboflavin

Fully automated, designed for easy integration into continuous processes up to 2000L cell culture volume 18


Validation Results Test data available for testing with: – Bacteriophage (used as a virus analogue) to show effectiveness of the inactivation methodology – Bacterial challenge with Brevundimonas diminuta (B. dim) to show effectiveness of the design in eliminating hold-ups and carry over The bacteriophage data showed: – No active bacteriophages in the inactivation mixer and recirculation loop after completing two cycles, demonstrating the efficiency of the dosing, mixing and recirculation methodology – Controls showed no damage to the protein from pumping and mixing The B. dim testing data showed: – Complete washout of the target organism to below the limits of detection, indicating that the system does not have any detectable dead legs

19


Cadence BioSMB and Cadence Virus Inactivation Systems Together– Designed to be Integrated as a Combined Unit Operation Both systems can be integrated to run

continuously Automation – Connected directly or via control system to upstream and downstream operations

Process – Connected to Cadence BioSMB product port by interconnection manifold – Ability to collect whole elution peaks based on weight change in mixer or opening / closing of product valve
