I’m shadowing the Preventative Maintenance of a Bio-reactor. Help me from going insane.

what sort of super powers do you get from a bio reactor

None, its used to grow up cells for processing. Maybe boredom.

Unfortunately I can only give vague answers due to trade secrets. The cells are grown to contain a certain enzyme and product in a sense that is then harvested out much later in the process. This bioreactor just takes about 1000 cells in media and turns it into a few million, then it transfers to a bigger reactor.

I can tell you that the suites down the hall make Prevnar13, I think were doing clinical drugs in this suite so I can’t tell you too much, also I’m not inline with the process engineering I’m working on maintenance and mechanical changes.

You should probably be paying attention to what they have to say. Which BioPharma? Roche, Regeneron, Gilead?

No but Riboflavin does, which we use for spray coverage testing. I think the clinical drug is public but just to be on the safe side I wont mention it (there is a wiki page but schedules are pretty secret here).
Its an oncology drug and it started from these type of cells (generic)

They grab me when there is an issue, and I am standing right next to them watching what they do. This is a pretty small reactor only 100L so I can see all of it without moving.

I’m just busting chops. That’s cool. You can ignore my edit, just realized you work at Pfizer.

I like how you figured that out without me saying, I will say I have done work for one other company you listed. I’m a consultant to the industry.

I’m in the industry/direct competitor. You are stealing our sales in at least one of our products! Haha, but it’s all good. It’s cool to see others in the industry on this site. Love the work our companies doing for the betterment of society.

No, we have about 50Bn more in market share than them.

Shouldn’t you be paying attention? That kinda sounds important/ could kill everyone.

You company has an alliance with a company in Germany that has the same exact name as the company I work for. Bonus: The way I figured out who you worked for is the product your company is stealing market share from.

I am watching them for issues in ergonomics, pipe slope, or difficult gaskets. If I am too close I am actually in their way. For a PM like this every gasket, valve diaphragm, etc gets changed out and then the system is cleaned, steamed, and sterilized.

Bayer or Roche I would guess. I’m not familiar with all the drugs made here as I bounce from company to company depending on the project.

I was curious about sterility in a clean room so I dug into the primary literature. Found a paper that involved scientists pulling down their pants and farting on petri dishes.
