A number of groups have studied the application of continuous bioreactors and continuous chromatographic systems as part of efforts to develop an integrated continuous biomanufacturing process. The objective of this study was to examine the feasibility of using a countercurrent staged diafiltration process for continuous protein formulation with reduced buffer requirements. Experiments were performed using a polyclonal immunoglobulin (IgG) with Cadence™ Inline Concentrators. Model equations were developed for the product yield, impurity removal, and buffer requirements as a function of the number of stages and the stage conversion (ratio of permeate to feed flow rate). Data from a countercurrent two‐stage system were in excellent agreement with model calculations, demonstrating the potential of using countercurrent staged diafiltration for protein formulation. Model simulations demonstrated the importance of the countercurrent staging on both the extent of buffer exchange and the amount of buffer required per kg of formulated product. The staged diafiltration process not only provides for continuous buffer exchange, it could also provide significant reductions in the number of pump passes while providing opportunities for reduced buffer requirements.
