Manufacturing challenges 制造挑戰(zhàn)Ensuring product quality 確保產(chǎn)品質(zhì)量Biologics are susceptible to physical and chemical degradation. Even slight temperature fluctuations can lead to protein denaturation or aggregation, reducing efficacy. Freeze-thaw cycles of biologics in large-volume formats are often required for their storage and transport; however this process can compromise product integrity. To mitigate these risks, manufacturers must rely on validated processes and advanced monitoring systems that maintain consistent conditions throughout the freezing and thawing process.
生物制劑易受物理和化學(xué)因素的影響而降解。即使是輕微的溫度波動也可能導(dǎo)致蛋白質(zhì)變性或聚集，從而降低療效。大體積生物制劑的儲存和運輸通常需要反復(fù)凍融；然而，這一過程可能會損害產(chǎn)品的完整性。為了降低這些風(fēng)險，生產(chǎn)商必須依賴經(jīng)過驗證的工藝和監(jiān)控系統(tǒng)，以確保在整個凍融過程中保持條件的一致性。
Selecting primary packaging 選擇初級包裝Single-use containers, primarily bags or bottles, are the most common types of containers used to transport and store biologics, but each type of container has its own limitations. Bags offer flexibility and facilitate aseptically closed systems. However, they are prone to damage due to mechanical stress and can break if not adequately protected when in a frozen state. Rigid containers also tend to be bulky, which means they take a long time to freeze and thaw. This can compromise product quality. Bottles provide better structural integrity but can limit scalability and require specialized handling equipment. The choice of primary packaging used during freezing often determines the subsequent cold chain management technologies employed. This is because not all cold chain management solutions are compatible with all types of primary packaging.
一次性容器，主要是瓶子或袋子，是運輸和儲存生物制劑容器類型，但每種容器都有其自身的局限性。袋子容器具有靈活性，便于建立無菌封閉系統(tǒng)。然而，它們?nèi)菀滓驒C械應(yīng)力而損壞，如果在冷凍狀態(tài)下保護(hù)不當(dāng)，則可能破裂。硬質(zhì)容器通常體積較大，這意味著它們需要較長的凍融時間。這可能會影響產(chǎn)品質(zhì)量。瓶裝容器具有更好的結(jié)構(gòu)完整性，但會限制其規(guī)?；a(chǎn)，并且需要專門的操作設(shè)備。冷凍過程中使用的初級包裝的選擇通常決定了后續(xù)冷鏈管理技術(shù)的應(yīng)用。這是因為并非所有冷鏈管理解決方案都與所有類型的初級包裝兼容。
Incompatible processes 不兼容的工藝The use of single-use bags can constrain process flexibility because of equipment incompatibilities and vendor lock-in. Therefore, scalable biopharmaceutical manufacturing solutions must support variable batch volumes while minimizing the need for substantial facility reconfiguration. Bag-independent and modular solutions are thus increasingly popular. Combining modular systems with automation can streamline workflows, reduce the need for manual intervention, and minimize contamination risks, as recommended in EU GMP Annex 1. Ultimately, an end-to-end process that is compatible with every step of cold chain management – from filling and freezing to storage and thawing – ensures a smooth transition, while also facilitating compliance with relevant quality control standards, such as EU GMP Annex 1.
由于設(shè)備不兼容和供應(yīng)商鎖定，使用一次性袋子會限制工藝的靈活性。因此，可擴(kuò)展的生物制藥生產(chǎn)解決方案必須支持不同批次量，同時減少對設(shè)施進(jìn)行大規(guī)模重新配置的需求。因此，獨立于袋子的模塊化解決方案越來越受歡迎。將模塊化系統(tǒng)與自動化相結(jié)合可以簡化工作流程，減少人工干預(yù)，并降低污染風(fēng)險，正如歐盟GMP附錄1所建議的那樣。最終，一個與冷鏈管理的每個步驟（從灌裝和冷凍到儲存和解凍）都兼容的端到端流程，可以確保平穩(wěn)過渡，同時也有助于符合相關(guān)的質(zhì)量控制標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，例如歐盟GMP附錄1。
Sustainable processes 可持續(xù)過程Cold chain operations are energy intensive, driven largely by the power requirements of freezers and temperature-controlled storage units. Optimizing freezing profiles and investing in energy-efficient equipment can help reduce the environmental impact of these operations. The use of fluorinated gases, also known as F-gases, is gradually being phased out, with the European Union setting a goal for a complete phase-out by 2050.
3 They are being replaced by natural gases and air-cooled technologies with much lower global warming potential (GWP) than F-gases.
冷鏈操作是能源密集型的，這主要是由于冷凍機和溫控存儲單元的電力需求造成的。優(yōu)化冷凍工藝流程并投資節(jié)能設(shè)備有助于減少這些作業(yè)對環(huán)境的影響。含氟氣體（也稱氟化氣體）的使用正在逐步淘汰，歐盟的目標(biāo)是在2050年前淘汰。3取而代之的是天然氣和空氣冷卻技術(shù)，這些技術(shù)的變暖潛值（GWP）遠(yuǎn)低于氟化氣體。
Figure 2: Reductions in product quality during cold chain management processes are a major concern for biopharmaceutical manufacturers

The behavior of biologics during freezing生物制品在冷凍過程中的行為When biologics are frozen, several important changes occur that can influence their stability and efficacy. A thorough understanding of these behaviors is essential for preserving long-term product quality and efficacy.
生物制劑冷凍保存期間會發(fā)生一些重要變化，這些變化會影響其穩(wěn)定性和療效。深入了解這些變化對于保持產(chǎn)品的長期質(zhì)量和療效至關(guān)重要。
What happens when freezing biologics? 生物制劑冷凍后會發(fā)生什么？Proteins are thermally unstable molecules, and their native structure depends on a delicate balance of interactions within the protein itself and between the protein and surrounding components, such as solvents. When a protein solution is frozen, the temperature of the solution initially decreases steadily as the heat is removed. As the temperature continues to decrease, the solution can become super-cooled, which means that it drops below its normal freezing point without immediately forming ice. However, at a certain temperature, ice begins to form; this is known as
ice nucleation. Once ice starts to form, the temperature briefly stabilizes because energy is being used to change the liquid protein solution into solid ice, not to lower the temperature further. This stage is known as the
phase transition. After most of the liquid has turned to ice, the temperature begins to decrease again as more heat is removed, and the solution becomes completely solid.
蛋白質(zhì)是熱穩(wěn)定性較差的分子，其天然結(jié)構(gòu)依賴于蛋白質(zhì)內(nèi)部以及蛋白質(zhì)與周圍成分（例如溶劑）之間相互作用的微妙平衡。當(dāng)?shù)鞍踪|(zhì)溶液被冷凍時，隨著熱量的移除，溶液的溫度最初會穩(wěn)定下降。隨著溫度持續(xù)下降，溶液會變得過冷，這意味著它的溫度會降至正常冰點以下，但不會立即形成冰。然而，在達(dá)到一定溫度后，冰開始形成；這被稱為冰核形成。一旦冰開始形成，溫度會短暫穩(wěn)定下來，因為能量被用于將液態(tài)蛋白質(zhì)溶液轉(zhuǎn)化為固態(tài)冰，而不是用于進(jìn)一步降低溫度。這個階段被稱為相變。當(dāng)大部分液體轉(zhuǎn)化為冰后，隨著更多熱量的移除，溫度再次開始下降，溶液最終凝固。
Figure 3: The behavior of biologics during the freezing process 圖 3：生物制品在冷凍過程中的行為
Figure 4: Ice crystallization at each step in the freezing process
What physical changes impact protein stability during freezing?冷凍過程中哪些物理變化會影響蛋白質(zhì)的穩(wěn)定性？Freezing and thawing can alter how proteins interact with their environment, which in turn can reduce their stability. One of the most important effects is cryoconcentration.
4,5 When pharmaceutical products are frozen in large batches, ice forms as the temperature decreases; this removes water that normally hydrates and stabilizes proteins. As a result, proteins and other formulation components become concentrated in the remaining unfrozen solution. The loss of protective water and the increased concentration of other ingredients can destabilize proteins, leading to aggregation, partial unfolding, or unwanted interactions with formulation components or container surfaces.
凍融過程會改變蛋白質(zhì)與其環(huán)境的相互作用方式，進(jìn)而降低其穩(wěn)定性。其中最重要的影響之一是冷凍濃縮。當(dāng)藥品批量冷凍時，隨著溫度降低會形成冰；冰會帶走通常用于水合和穩(wěn)定蛋白質(zhì)的水分。因此，蛋白質(zhì)和其他制劑成分會在剩余的未凍結(jié)溶液中濃縮。保護(hù)性水分的損失和其他成分濃度的增加會導(dǎo)致蛋白質(zhì)不穩(wěn)定，進(jìn)而引起聚集、部分展開或與制劑成分或容器表面發(fā)生不必要的相互作用。
Cryoconcentration can introduce several additional destabilizing effects. As freezing progresses, the solution becomes more viscous, and the rates of freezing and thawing influence how long these altered conditions persist. Ice formation can also trap small air bubbles, which may further disrupt protein structure and reduce stability. Another key factor is the formation of ice-liquid interfaces.
5 Proteins that adsorb to these interfaces can undergo structural changes or denaturation; therefore, control of the cooling rate is critical. More rapid freezing generally produces smaller ice crystal s and results in a larger ice-liquid interface. This can help limit the unwanted crystallization of buffering components and support maintenance of solution pH.
冷凍濃縮還會引入其他幾種不穩(wěn)定因素。隨著冷凍的進(jìn)行，溶液粘度會增加，而凍融速率會影響這些改變狀態(tài)的持續(xù)時間。冰的形成還會捕獲微小的氣泡，這可能會進(jìn)一步破壞蛋白質(zhì)結(jié)構(gòu)并降低其穩(wěn)定性。另一個關(guān)鍵因素是冰-液界面的形成。吸附在這些界面上的蛋白質(zhì)可能會發(fā)生結(jié)構(gòu)變化或變性；因此，控制冷卻速率至關(guān)重要?？焖倮鋬鐾ǔa(chǎn)生更小的冰晶，并形成更大的冰液界面。這有助于限制緩沖成分的非預(yù)期結(jié)晶，并有助于維持溶液的pH值。
What does this mean when freezing biologics during manufacturing?在生產(chǎn)過程中冷凍生物制劑意味著什么？Ultimately, freezing is not just a matter of lowering the temperature. For example, fast freezing is optimal for most proteins, such as monoclonal antibodies, whereas slower freezing rates are preferable for other proteins.
6歸根結(jié)底，冷凍不僅僅是降低溫度的問題。例如，快速冷凍對大多數(shù)蛋白質(zhì)（如單克隆抗體）來說是好選擇，而較慢的冷凍速率則更適合其他蛋白質(zhì)。
Precise control over process parameters is required to minimize destabilizing effects and preserve the integrity of biologics. Manufacturers must account for these physical changes and their impact on protein stability to ensure consistent product quality and reliable handling of bulk drug substances.
精確控制工藝參數(shù)對于減少不穩(wěn)定因素并保持生物制劑的完整性至關(guān)重要。生產(chǎn)商必須考慮這些物理變化及其對蛋白質(zhì)穩(wěn)定性的影響，以確保產(chǎn)品質(zhì)量的一致性和原料藥處理的可靠性。

Best practice: Controlled freezing of biologicsThe freezing process has profound implications for the stability of protein-based biologics. Cryoconcentration and the formation of ice-liquid interfaces can lead to the loss of protein structure and function if not properly controlled. The extent of these effects depends on a variety of factors, including:
冷凍過程對蛋白質(zhì)生物制劑的穩(wěn)定性有著深遠(yuǎn)的影響。如果控制不當(dāng)，冷凍濃縮和冰液界面的形成會導(dǎo)致蛋白質(zhì)結(jié)構(gòu)和功能的喪失。這些影響的程度取決于多種因素，包括：
Therefore, effective management of these physical changes requires controlled freezing strategies for different container types, such as single-use bags and bottles, and for a range of processing volumes.
因此，要有效管理這些物理變化，需要針對不同類型的容器（如一次性袋子和瓶子）以及不同的加工量制定受控的冷凍策略。
Freezing biologics in single-use bags 將生物制劑冷凍于一次性袋子中2D bioprocess containers that have a small water column can be frozen using plate-freezing technology, which enables more rapid, controlled freezing than traditional static freezing. When employing plate-freezing technology with single-use bags, the bags should be placed in specialized secondary packaging designed to ensure optimal heat transfer. Rapid, controlled freezing using plate freezers enables simultaneous freezing of the drug substance in single-use bags from both the top and the bottom. This helps prevent cryoconcentration of the drug substances and other formulation components in the center of the bag. Both conductive cooling, which provides direct contact with the cooling medium as in plate freezers, and convective cooling, which uses an airflow-based technology as in blast freezers, achieve faster and more homogeneous freezing than static freezers. Figure 6 illustrates the difference in freezing results between static freezers and plate freezers. The degree of cryoconcentration in a single-use bag compared to the initial liquid-state concentration when frozen in a static freezer is significantly higher than that observed when plate-freezing is used. A study conducted in collaboration with Zurich University of Applied Sciences measured cryoconcentration levels of up to +212 % after freezing in a static freezer, whereas cryoconcentration levels using plate freezers showed no major changes.
7對于含有少量水柱的二維生物工藝容器，可采用平板冷凍技術(shù)進(jìn)行冷凍，該技術(shù)比傳統(tǒng)的靜態(tài)冷凍技術(shù)能夠?qū)崿F(xiàn)更快速、更可控的冷凍。當(dāng)使用平板冷凍技術(shù)處理一次性袋子時，應(yīng)將袋子置于專門設(shè)計的二級包裝中，以確保最佳的熱傳遞。平板冷凍機能夠從頂部和底部同時冷凍一次性袋子中的藥物，從而實現(xiàn)快速、可控的冷凍。這有助于防止藥物和其他制劑成分在袋子中心發(fā)生冷凍濃縮。無論是傳導(dǎo)冷卻（如平板冷凍機中與冷卻介質(zhì)直接接觸）還是對流冷卻（如速凍機中利用氣流技術(shù)），都能比靜態(tài)冷凍機實現(xiàn)更快、更均勻的冷凍。圖 6 展示了靜態(tài)冷凍機和平板冷凍機冷凍結(jié)果的差異。與靜態(tài)冷凍機相比，使用平板冷凍技術(shù)冷凍的一次性袋子中的冷凍濃縮程度明顯更高。與蘇黎世應(yīng)用科學(xué)大學(xué)合作進(jìn)行的一項研究測量了靜態(tài)冷凍機冷凍后的冷凍濃縮水平高達(dá) +212 %，而使用平板冷凍機的冷凍濃縮水平則沒有出現(xiàn)重大變化。

深藍(lán)色斑點表示冷凍濃縮程度更高。與傳統(tǒng)冷凍方法相比，使用平板冷凍機進(jìn)行快速可控冷凍能夠?qū)崿F(xiàn)更均勻的冷凍效果。
As noted earlier, small air bubbles can occur during the cooling process, which can further affect proteins and reduce their stability. Stress at the liquid-ice interface during the formation of ice can also destabilize proteins.8 So how can these effects be prevented to achieve a homogeneous freezing result? Single Use Support has performed computed tomography (CT) scans to visualize when these phenomena occur to identify ways in which they can be avoided. In Figure 7, an uneven freezing result following static freezing is clearly visible. Bubbles and cracks at the final point of solidification are visible, indicating cryoconcentration.
如前所述，冷卻過程中可能會產(chǎn)生微小氣泡，這會進(jìn)一步影響蛋白質(zhì)并降低其穩(wěn)定性。冰形成過程中液態(tài)-冰界面處的應(yīng)力也會破壞蛋白質(zhì)的穩(wěn)定性。8 那么，如何避免這些影響以獲得均勻的冷凍效果呢？Single Use Support 公司進(jìn)行了計算機斷層掃描 (CT)，以觀察這些現(xiàn)象發(fā)生的時間，并找出避免它們的方法。圖 7 清晰地顯示了靜態(tài)冷凍后冷凍效果不均勻的情況。在最終凝固點處可以看到氣泡和裂紋，表明存在低溫濃縮現(xiàn)象。

Freezing biologics in bottles 將生物制劑冷凍于瓶中Unlike single-use bags, bottles present unique challenges when used to freeze biologics; this is due to their bulk and their requirement for vertical placement during freezing. It is therefore recommended to freeze bottles using static or blast freezing methods.
與一次性袋子不同，瓶子在冷凍生物制劑時面臨著獨特的挑戰(zhàn)；這是由于瓶子體積較大，且冷凍過程中需要垂直放置。因此，建議采用靜態(tài)冷凍或速凍方法冷凍瓶子。
However, uncontrolled freezing in bottles often leads to uneven temperature gradients and cryoconcentration, compromising product quality. Blast freezing, particularly with forced air flow, is superior to static freezing methods but still requires careful control.
然而，瓶內(nèi)冷凍若不受控制，往往會導(dǎo)致溫度梯度不均勻和濃縮，從而影響產(chǎn)品質(zhì)量。速凍，特別是采用強制氣流的速凍，優(yōu)于靜態(tài)冷凍方法，但仍需嚴(yán)格控制。
Studies have shown that uncontrolled freezing can result in considerable differences in solute concentration between the top and bottom of a bottle, indicating heterogeneous freezing and reduced reproducibility, with cryoconcentration levels increasing by more than 300 %.
9研究表明，冷凍若不受控制，會導(dǎo)致瓶內(nèi)頂部和底部溶質(zhì)濃度出現(xiàn)顯著差異，表明冷凍不均勻，重復(fù)性降低，濃縮程度增加超過300%。
As a bottle is subjected to the freezing process, pressure on the side walls from the growing ice fronts pushes liquid toward the center, forming a cone at the top. This phenomenon is known as the “volcano effect", illustrated in Figure 10.
當(dāng)瓶子處于冷凍過程中時，不斷增長的冰鋒對瓶壁施加壓力，將液體推向中心，在頂部形成錐形。這種現(xiàn)象被稱為“火山效應(yīng)"，如圖10所示。
Figure 10: Visualized cryoconcentration in bottles under uncontrolled freezing conditions showing the “volcano effect" (left) compared with controlled blast freezing (right)
圖 10：在不受控制的冷凍條件下，瓶中低溫濃縮的可視化結(jié)果，顯示了“火山效應(yīng)"（左圖），并與受控的速凍（右圖）進(jìn)行了比較。
To address these issues, Single Use Support has developed controlled-rate freezing protocols for bottles. For large bottles, freezing rates of approximately -0.1 °C to -0.5 °C/min are essential for maintaining protein stability.4,10 Controlled air distribution with advanced air flow systems optimizes the freezing behavior of drug substances to ensure bottle-to-bottle reproducibility and homogeneous freezing results. Visualization of heat transfer and airflow patterns demonstrates that high-performance forced air distribution enables consistent temperature control and uniform freezing. Single Use Support’s
RoSS.BLST is a blast freezer that controls the rate of cooling by employing smart air distribution, as shown in Figure 11. It is a modular, controlled-rate blast freezer that incorporates forced-air technology. Its best-in-class chamber size-to-foot-print ratio enables manufacturers to efficiently freeze bulk-packaged biologics. It can accommodate bottles, bulky single-use bag setups, and other single-use containers. For example, it can accommodate up to 192 2 L bottles and can freeze drug substances according to optimal freezing protocols to achieve maximum product stability. It also contributes to efficient and sustainable freezing by providing great process flexibility:
為了解決這些問題，Single Use Support 開發(fā)了適用于瓶裝產(chǎn)品的控溫速凍方案。對于大瓶裝產(chǎn)品，約 -0.1℃ 至 -0.5 °C/min 的速凍速率對于維持蛋白質(zhì)穩(wěn)定性至關(guān)重要
4,10。采用氣流系統(tǒng)的可控空氣分配能夠優(yōu)化藥物的冷凍行為，確保瓶與瓶之間冷凍效果的可重復(fù)性和均勻性。熱傳遞和氣流模式的可視化結(jié)果表明，高性能強制空氣分配能夠?qū)崿F(xiàn)穩(wěn)定的溫度控制和均勻的冷凍效果。如圖 11 所示，Single Use Support 的 RoSS.BLST 是一款采用智能空氣分配控制冷卻速率的速凍機。它是一款模塊化、控溫速凍機，并采用了強制空氣技術(shù)。其腔室尺寸與占地面積比使生產(chǎn)商能夠高效地冷凍散裝生物制劑。它可以容納瓶裝產(chǎn)品、體積較大的一次性袋子以及其他一次性容器。例如，它最多可容納 192 瓶 2 升裝藥品，并可根據(jù)冷凍方案冷凍藥品，以實現(xiàn)產(chǎn)品穩(wěn)定性。此外，它還具有高的工藝靈活性，有助于實現(xiàn)高效且可持續(xù)的冷凍：

Maintaining cold chain for storage and transport維持冷鏈以進(jìn)行儲存和運輸The efficient and safe freezing of biologics in single-use bags and bottles requires a fully closed, Annex 1-aligned, and aseptic system during the entire fluid and cold chain management process. The process begins with automated filling and filtration, continues through freezing, cold storage and shipping, and concludes with controlled thawing at the drug product site, until the drug substance is removed from the singleuse containers for fill/finish. The integration of closed systems at every stage minimizes contamination risks, streamlines workflows, and ensures product integrity. This end-toend strategy fosters compatibility between single-use technologies, regardless of the type or size of primary packaging used by the manufacturer. Furthermore, closed systems fulfill GMP-relevant standards, and can be seamlessly integrated into customer networks for process control. An automated and compatible cold chain improves operational efficiency, making it the gold standard for the management of single-use containers used in biopharmaceutical manufacturing, such as single-use bags and bottles.
生物制劑在一次性袋子和瓶中的高效安全冷凍，需要在整個液體和冷鏈管理過程中采用封閉、符合附件1要求且無菌的系統(tǒng)。該流程始于自動化灌裝和過濾，貫穿冷凍、冷藏和運輸，最終在藥品生產(chǎn)現(xiàn)場進(jìn)行受控解凍，直至將原料藥從一次性容器中取出進(jìn)行灌裝/包裝。在每個階段集成封閉系統(tǒng)可限度地降低污染風(fēng)險，簡化工作流程，并確保產(chǎn)品完整性。這種端到端策略促進(jìn)了各種一次性技術(shù)之間的兼容性，無論制造商使用何種類型或尺寸的初級包裝。此外，封閉系統(tǒng)符合GMP相關(guān)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，并且可以無縫集成到客戶網(wǎng)絡(luò)中進(jìn)行過程控制。自動化且兼容的冷鏈提高了運營效率，使其成為生物制藥生產(chǎn)中一次性容器（例如一次性袋子和瓶）管理的黃金標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。
