The switch from lab-scale to industrial-scale AAV production requires deep ­hands-on expertise in various technological solutions, their limitations, and their ­suitability for GMP large-scale manufacturing. Direct application of lab-scale process leads to expensive ­AAV-based products and unnecessarily laborious industrial processes. The complexity and growing demands for controllable critical quality attributes (CQAs), create a challenging blend.
