Freezing biologics is an almost unavoidable step in the process of preserving and storing them for an extended period of time. After all, biologics encompass a diverse range of therapeutic products derived from living organisms. They include monoclonal antibodies, protein solutions, and other biotherapeutics – complex formulations engineered to treat various diseases and medical conditions. The freeze-thaw process requires close attention to formulation, cooling rates, and cryoprotective strategies to maintain the stability and efficacy of the drug product.
冷凍是生物制劑長期保存和儲存過程中幾乎不可避免的步驟。畢竟，生物制劑涵蓋了多種源自活體生物的治療產品，包括單克隆抗體、蛋白質溶液和其他生物治療藥物——這些復雜的制劑旨在治療各種疾病和病癥。凍融過程需要密切關注制劑配方、冷卻速率和冷凍保護策略，以維持藥物產品的穩定性和療效。
Safe cold storage of biologics is key in ensuring the efficacy and safety of pharmaceutical products throughout their lifecycle. As the demand for biopharmaceuticals continues to rise, so does the need for efficient and reliable storage solutions that maintain the integrity of the cold chain. Biologics are often highly temperature-sensitive, requiring precise control to prevent degradation and ensure potency.
生物制劑的安全冷藏是確保藥物產品在其整個生命周期內療效和安全性的關鍵。隨著對生物制藥的需求持續增長，對能夠維持冷鏈完整性的高效可靠儲存解決方案的需求也日益增加。生物制劑通常對溫度高度敏感，需要精確控制溫度以防止降解并確保其效力。
In this article, we will discuss essential requirements and innovative solutions for freezing and storing biologics along the cold chain – from ultracold and cryogenic freezers to solutions for safe packaging of biologics.

本文將探討生物制劑在冷鏈中冷凍和儲存的基本要求和創新解決方案——從超低溫和低溫冷凍機到生物制劑的安全包裝方案。

Biologics early considerations 生物制劑早期考量
Freezing biologics demands the consideration of various critical factors to uphold their integrity and efficacy throughout the process. Some of these considerations include:
生物制劑的冷凍保存需要考慮多種關鍵因素，以確保其在整個過程中保持完整性和有效性。這些因素包括：
Container selection: Vials, cryovessels, or single-use bags – there are numerous types of containers to choose from when freezing biologics. It is important for manufacturers to consider the thermodynamic characteristics of the materials they are made of to ensure that they can endure the stress that may come with extreme temperature gradients while protecting valuable therapies, such as mAbs or mRNA vaccines.
容器選擇：冷凍保存生物制劑時，可選擇的容器類型多種多樣，例如小瓶、冷凍容器或一次性冷凍袋。生產商必須考慮容器材料的熱力學特性，以確保其能夠承受溫度梯度帶來的壓力，同時保護重要的治療藥物，例如單克隆抗體或mRNA疫苗。
However, container options do not only differ in terms of built materials, but also in regard to their size: The volume of individual units significantly impacts their freezing behavior, thus also the risk for detrimental effects of freezing like unwanted ice crystal formation or protein concentration.
然而，容器的選擇不僅體現在材料上，還體現在其尺寸上：單個容器的體積會顯著影響其冷凍性能，進而影響冷凍過程中可能產生的有害影響，例如形成不必要的冰晶或蛋白質濃縮。
Formulation and cryoprotective agents: Biologics themselves are already highly complex structures, but they are often not frozen alone, but in combination with other substances, such as cryoprotective agents (CPAs or cryoprotectants). Excipients like glycerol and glycol in formulation development play vital roles in mitigating cryoconcentration effects and sustaining the stability of proteins during freezing and thawing cycles.
制劑和冷凍保護劑：生物制劑本身就是高度復雜的結構，但它們通常并非單獨冷凍，而是與其他物質（例如冷凍保護劑）混合使用。在制劑研發中，甘油和乙二醇等輔料在減輕冷凍濃縮效應和維持蛋白質在凍融循環中的穩定性方面發揮著至關重要的作用。
Freezing and thawing protocols: Cooling rates are a fundamental aspect in achieving desired freeze-thaw profiles and preserving protein stability. It is one of the most decisive steps in unit operation of pharmaceutical freezers, which is why the next chapter will discuss this facet in more detail. ¹
凍融方案：冷卻速率是實現理想凍融曲線和保持蛋白質穩定性的關鍵因素。它是制藥冷凍機單元操作中最關鍵的步驟之一，因此下一章將更詳細地討論這一方面。

Hitting the right cooling rate and speed for biological drug substances
生物藥物的冷卻速率和速度要合適。
Hitting the optimal cooling rate is crucial when freezing biological drug substances. This rate directly impacts various aspects of the process, including ice formation, protein denaturation, and overall product stability.
在冷凍生物藥物時，達到冷卻速率至關重要。該速率直接影響工藝的各個方面，包括冰的形成、蛋白質變性和產品的整體穩定性。
Since there is no cooling and thawing rate that is considered to be universally ideal, it has to be individualized for each product. This requires thorough stability studies, including characterization of all its components and the kinetics occurring during freezing.
由于不存在普遍適用的理想冷卻和解凍速率，因此必須針對每種產品進行個性化設置。這需要進行全面的穩定性研究，包括對所有成分的表征以及冷凍過程中發生的動力學變化。
Linked to freezing rates is the time for phase transition as an even more crucial factor for protein stability: It refers to the amount of time it takes for the product to transition from the liquid to the frozen state, and determines effects like cryoconcentration, pH changes, and glass formation. ²
與冷凍速率密切相關的是相變時間，它是影響蛋白質穩定性的一個更為關鍵的因素：相變時間是指產品從液態轉變為固態所需的時間，它決定了諸如冷凍濃縮、pH 值變化和玻璃態形成等效應。

Freezing strategies for biologics 生物制劑的冷凍策略
Biotechnology knows several freezing strategies for biologics, with some of them being more eligible than others. However, it always depends on the very scope that a pharmaceutical company or CDMO has when subjecting their products to a distinct freezing method, as well as the individual product characteristics.
生物技術領域針對生物制劑開發了多種冷凍策略，其中一些策略比其他策略更適用。然而，最終選擇哪種冷凍方法，始終取決于制藥公司或合同研發生產機構（CDMO）的具體業務范圍以及產品的特性。
In the following sections, we will discuss four methods to freeze biologics and biosimilars.
在接下來的章節中，我們將討論四種生物制劑和生物類似藥的冷凍方法。

Slow uncontrolled freezing 緩慢不受控制的冷凍
Slow uncontrolled freezing, characterized by gradual cooling rates and minimal control over ice crystal formation, may appear as a simple approach, but poses significant risks to protein solutions. This method often results in the formation of unwanted ice crystals, inducing denaturation and compromising product stability.
緩慢且不受控的冷凍方法，其特點是冷卻速率緩慢，且對冰晶形成控制甚微，看似簡單，但卻對蛋白質溶液構成重大風險。該方法通常會導致形成不必要的冰晶，從而誘發蛋白質變性并損害產品穩定性。
Furthermore, slow freezing brings an increased risk for cryoconcentration, describing an inhomogeneous distribution of protein mass within the sample. ³
此外，緩慢冷凍還會增加冷凍濃縮的風險，冷凍濃縮是指樣品中蛋白質質量分布不均勻。3

Lyophilization of biologics 生物制劑的凍干
Lyophilization, or freeze-drying, stands as a popular method for preserving biologics, involving freezing the product followed by ice removal under vacuum for extended frozen storage. This process utilizes buffer solutions like sucrose to minimize ice nucleation and stabilize protein formulations.
凍干，也稱冷凍干燥，是一種常用的生物制劑保存方法，其原理是將產品冷凍，然后在真空條件下去除冰層，從而實現長期冷凍保存。該過程利用蔗糖等緩沖溶液來減少冰核的形成并穩定蛋白質制劑。
While lyophilization offers advantages in the preservation of biopharmaceuticals, it also presents disadvantages. These may include high operational costs, longer processing times, and product loss as a result of protein denaturation. Therefore, products like pharmaceuticals based on LNPs are usually not freeze-dried. ⁴
雖然凍干在生物制藥的保存方面具有優勢，但也存在一些缺點。這些缺點包括較高的操作成本、較長的處理時間以及因蛋白質變性造成的產品損失。因此，像基于脂質納米顆粒（LNP）的藥物這類產品通常不采用凍干工藝。

Controlled plate freezing 受控平板冷凍
Controlled plate freezing is a methodical approach to freezing biologics that involves precise regulation of freezing rates and temperature gradients. This technique is not only valuable during process development and small-scale production: With innovative plate freezing and thawing systems like RoSS.pFTU, both small and large-scale freezing of biologics is possible.
可控平板冷凍是一種系統化的生物制劑冷凍方法，它涉及對冷凍速率和溫度梯度的精確控制。這項技術不僅在工藝開發和小規模生產中具有價值，而且借助RoSS.pFTU等創新型平板冷凍和解凍系統，生物制劑的小規模和大規模冷凍均可實現。
By optimizing heat transfer and freezing time, controlled plate freezing ensures the preservation of protein stability throughout the freezing process, with a decreased risk for protein aggregation and other unwanted freezing effects.
通過優化傳熱和冷凍時間，可控平板冷凍能夠確保蛋白質在整個冷凍過程中保持穩定性，并降低蛋白質聚集和其他不良冷凍效應的風險。

Our new freeze-thaw units are fully scalable and compatible with all batch sizes and bags from all established manufacturers – you will only require one single system from the lab to blockbuster production. 一次性使用的凍融平臺為每個臨床階段的凍融流程提供獨立的解決方案。我們全新的凍融裝置具有可擴展性，并兼容所有制造商的所有批次規格和包裝袋——您只需一套系統即可完成從實驗室到重磅藥物生產的整個流程。

Cryogenic freezing and cryopreservation 低溫冷凍和冷凍保存
Cryogenic freezing involves the use of extremely low temperatures (down to around -180°C) for the preservation of biologics, ensuring long-term stability and viability. This method, integral to cryopreservation, safeguards the integrity of biotherapeutics over extended periods.
低溫冷凍是指利用極低溫度（低至約-180°C）保存生物制品，以確保其長期穩定性和活性。該方法是冷凍保存不可少的一部分，能夠長期保障生物治療藥物的完整性。
Cryobiology plays an important role in individualizing the ideal process parameters and storage temperatures for, e.g., cell therapies, which are typically stored at around -150°C. It represents an essential preservation method in bioprocessing, when ultra-low temperatures (around -80°C) are not sufficient to preserve product quality.
低溫生物學在確定理想的工藝參數和儲存溫度方面發揮著重要作用，例如，細胞療法通常儲存在約-150°C的溫度下。當超低溫（約-80°C）不足以保證產品質量時，低溫冷凍便成為生物加工過程中不可少的保存方法。
Control over freezing rates, though, has long been a major challenge during cryogenic freezing, due to the use of liquid nitrogen as cooling means. Single Use Support has therefore developed the first truly controlled cryogenic freezer, the RoSS.LN2F, which protects biologics from full exposure to LN2 while following adjustable freezing profiles. ⁵
然而，由于使用液氮作為冷卻手段，控制冷凍速率一直是低溫冷凍過程中的一大挑戰。因此，Single Use Support公司開發了真正可控的低溫冷凍機RoSS.LN2F，該設備能夠根據可調節的冷凍曲線，在避免生物制品暴露于液氮的情況下，保護其免受液氮的直接影響。

RoSS.LN2F | Cryogenic Freezer低溫冷凍機 RoSS.LN2F is a powerful cryogenic controlled rate freezer for temperatures down to -170°C. An enclosed LN2 system and our innovative direct injection system ensure no direct exposure and no mechanical compressors are needed. This ensures a safe, low-maintenance and energy-saving handling. RoSS.LN2F 是一款功能強大的低溫可控速冷凍機，可實現低至 -170°C 的溫度。其封閉式液氮系統和我們創新的直接噴射系統確保了無直接接觸，無需機械壓縮機。這保證了安全、低維護和節能的操作。

Freezing biologics and the advances with single-use technologies
生物制劑的冷凍保存及一次性使用技術的進步
For cryopreservation of sensitive biologics Single Use Support is convinced of plate freezing and cryogenic freezing as two extremely favorable approaches to control the cooling and thawing process. They can ideally cater to individual product requirements in terms of cooling rates and target temperature, ensuring ideal results upon thawing.
對于敏感生物制劑的冷凍保存，Single Use Support 堅信平板冷凍和低溫冷凍是控制冷卻和解凍過程的兩種極其理想的方法。它們能夠很好滿足不同產品在冷卻速率和目標溫度方面的個性化需求，確保解凍后達到理想效果。

The cryogenic freezer RoSS.LN2F, on the other hand, enables pharmaceutical manufacturers to ensure long-term storage at even lower temperatures, ensuring the viability of biotherapeutics like certain cell-based products – for small and large volumes.
另一方面，低溫冷凍機 RoSS.LN2F 使制藥企業能夠在更低的溫度下進行長期儲存，從而確保某些細胞療法等生物治療藥物（無論小批量還是大批量）的活性。
Both systems work with high-quality single-use bags covered in the RoSS® Shell as protective packaging solution.

What’s needed along the cold chain of biologics?
生物制劑冷鏈需要哪些環節？
The safe storage of biologics along the cold chain requires meticulous attention to several critical factors to ensure product integrity and efficacy. From temperature control to protection from contamination, various elements must be carefully managed to maintain the quality of biologic products throughout biomanufacturing – all in regard to regulatory compliance.
生物制劑在冷鏈中的安全儲存需要對多個關鍵因素進行細致關注，以確保產品的完整性和有效性。從溫度控制到防止污染，必須精心管理各種要素，以在整個生物制藥過程中維持生物制品的質量——所有這些都必須符合監管要求。
What makes cold chain management of biologics and biosimilars even more complex is the need for individualized approaches, depending on the very product or intermediate that is currently being processed. Different types of biologics have unique requirements and vulnerabilities – e.g. physical stress, light or oxygen exposure. One of the most common aspects to be considered is temperature, along with bringing efficiency and safety into harmony.
生物制劑和生物類似藥的冷鏈管理之所以更加復雜，是因為需要根據當前正在加工的具體產品或中間體采取個性化的方法。不同類型的生物制劑具有獨特的要求和脆弱性——例如，物理應力、光照或氧氣暴露。需要考慮的常見因素之一是溫度，以及如何在效率和安全性之間取得平衡。
Best choice for cold storage of Biopharmaceuticals - A Comparison
生物制藥冷藏的優秀選擇——比較


Temperature control in cold storage 冷庫的溫度控制
Temperature control plays a pivotal role in the storage of biologics due to the inherent sensitivity of these products to temperature fluctuations. Biologics, such as mRNA vaccines or allogeneic stem cell therapies, often contain delicate molecular structures that can be easily compromised by exposure to inappropriate temperatures.
由于生物制品本身對溫度波動非常敏感，溫度控制在生物制品的儲存中起著至關重要的作用。例如，mRNA疫苗或異體干細胞療法等生物制品通常含有精細的分子結構，暴露于不適宜的溫度下很容易受到破壞。
Maintaining the prescribed temperature range is critical to preserving the stability and efficacy of biologic products. Deviations from the recommended storage conditions can lead to irreversible damage, including denaturation of proteins, loss of biological activity,?protein stability, and degradation of nucleic acids. These alterations can not only render the product ineffective, but also pose potential safety risks to patients.
維持規定的溫度范圍對于保持生物制品的穩定性和有效性至關重要。偏離推薦的儲存條件會導致不可逆的損害，包括蛋白質變性、生物活性喪失、蛋白質穩定性下降以及核酸降解。這些改變不僅會使產品失效，還會對患者構成潛在的安全風險。
It is the recommended storage temperature that, being specific for each product type, makes cold chain management so complex for pharmaceutical companies and CDMOs. For instance, Fc-fusion proteins have been found to aggregate during long-term storage at -30°C; samples stored at both -70°C and -20°C, on the other hand, remained stable.
正是由于每種產品類型的推薦儲存溫度各不相同，才使得制藥公司和合同研發生產機構（CDMO）的冷鏈管理如此復雜。例如，研究發現Fc融合蛋白在-30°C長期儲存期間會發生聚集；而儲存在-70°C和-20°C的樣品則保持穩定。
Nevertheless, there are some rules of thumb regarding typical storage temperatures for biologics:
不過，關于生物制劑的典型儲存溫度，有一些經驗法則：

• monoclonal antibodies: -80°C單克隆抗體：-80°C

• mRNA: -80°C

• gene therapies: -80°C 基因療法：-80°C

• cell therapies: -130°C and lower 細胞療法：-130°C 及以下

• gene-modified cell therapies: lower than -150°C 基因修飾細胞療法：低于 -150°C

Furthermore, the temperature sensitivity of biologics extends beyond storage to transportation and handling. Fluctuations in temperature during transit can have detrimental effects on product quality, particularly if the excursion occurs outside the acceptable range.
此外，生物制品的溫度敏感性不限于儲存，還體現在運輸和處理過程中。運輸過程中的溫度波動會對產品質量產生不利影響，尤其是在溫度波動超出可接受范圍的情況下。

Combining efficiency and safety 兼顧效率與安全性
Achieving the delicate equilibrium between efficiency and safety is a balancing act in the storage of biologics. While optimizing storage processes for efficiency is essential to meet production demands and minimize costs, it must not compromise the safety and integrity of biologic products.
在生物制品的儲存過程中，如何在效率和安全性之間取得微妙的平衡至關重要。優化儲存流程以提高效率對于滿足生產需求和降低成本至關重要，但絕不能以犧牲生物制品的安全性和完整性為代價。
Efficiency in storage entails streamlining workflows, maximizing storage capacity, and minimizing downtime. However, these optimizations must not compromise safety measures, such as temperature control, contamination prevention, and product traceability.
提高儲存效率意味著簡化工作流程、大容量存儲容量和最小化停機時間。然而，這些優化措施絕不能影響安全措施，例如溫度控制、污染預防和產品可追溯性。
By integrating efficient storage practices with advanced systems and robust safety protocols, biopharmaceutical companies can ensure that biologic products are stored in optimal conditions while reducing the risk of product loss or compromise. This holistic approach to storage management not only optimizes efficiency in biomanufacturing, but also safeguards product quality and patient safety throughout the cold chain. ^{6 7}
通過將高效的儲存實踐與優秀的系統和完善的安全規程相結合，生物制藥公司可以確保生物制品在條件下儲存，同時降低產品損失或受損的風險。這種全面的儲存管理方法不僅優化了生物制藥的效率，而且在整個冷鏈過程中保障了產品質量和患者安全。

Ultra-cold storage for biologics – when refrigeration is not enough
生物制劑的超低溫儲存——當普通冷藏不足以滿足需求時
Ultra-cold storage involves temperatures around -80°C, and is crucial for preserving the efficacy and stability of biologics, such as vaccines, cell therapies, and mRNA-based drugs. These delicate biopharmaceuticals often require storage at ultra-low temperatures to prevent degradation and maintain protein stability along with therapeutic properties.
超低溫儲存是指在約-80°C的溫度下進行儲存，對于保持生物制劑（例如疫苗、細胞療法和mRNA藥物）的療效和穩定性至關重要。這些敏感的生物制藥產品通常需要在超低溫下儲存，以防止降解并維持蛋白質穩定性及其治療特性。
Ultra-low temperature storage can either be necessary超低溫儲存可能是必要的。

• right after freezing for shipping and long term storage,冷凍后立即進行運輸和長期儲存；

• upon arrival at the drug product manufacturing site prior to fill/finish,

到達藥品生產現場后，在灌裝/完成之前；

• or when buffer, media or intermediate drug substances need to be short- or midterm stored during bioprocessing.

或者當緩沖液、培養基或中間藥物物質在生物加工過程中需要短期或中期儲存時。
However, achieving and maintaining such extreme temperatures presents several challenges:
然而，實現并維持如此低的溫度面臨著諸多挑戰：

• Infrastructure requirements: Ultra-cold storage necessitates specialized freezers with precise temperature control capabilities, which can be expensive to purchase and maintain. Additionally, facilities must have adequate space, power supply, and backup systems to support these freezers – and to scale up capacities if need be. Here, storage density is an essential criterion, as e.g. walk-in freezers come with a large footprint, need specialized infrastructure, and require a considerable amount of energy, while upright storage freezers may be more resource effective.

基礎設施要求：超低溫儲存需要具備精確溫度控制功能的專用冷凍機，其購置和維護成本可能很高。此外，設施必須擁有足夠的空間、電力供應和備用系統來支持這些冷凍機，并在必要時擴展容量。存儲密度是關鍵因素，例如，步入式冷凍庫占地面積大，需要專用基礎設施，并且需要大量能源，而立式冷凍庫可能更節能。

• Temperature control: Maintaining consistent temperatures throughout the storage period is paramount for ensuring the integrity of biologics. Fluctuations or deviations from the desired temperature range can compromise product quality and efficacy, leading to potential safety concerns.

溫度控制：在整個儲存期間保持溫度穩定對于確保生物制品的完整性至關重要。溫度波動或偏離所需范圍會影響產品質量和療效，從而導致潛在的安全問題。

• Logistical concerns: Transporting biologics to and from ultra-cold storage facilities requires careful planning and coordination to prevent temperature excursions. Any deviation from the recommended temperature range during transit can result in product degradation and loss of potency.

物流問題：將生物制品運送到超低溫儲存設施或從超低溫儲存設施運出需要周密的計劃和協調，以防止溫度波動。運輸過程中任何偏離推薦溫度范圍的情況都可能導致產品降解和效力降低。
