Abstract
Glutamine, glutamate and glutathione are key modulators of excessive oxidative stress in tumor cells. In this study, we developed a rapid and accurate HILIC-MS/MS method to simultaneously determine concentrations of cellular glutamine, glutamate and glutathione. A bared silica HILIC column was employed to analyze these polar metabolites. The LC-MS parameters were optimized to achieve high sensitivity and selectivity. The analysis can be completed within 4 min under optimal conditions. The method was validated in terms of accuracy, precision, and linearity. Intra-day (n = 9) precision was within 2.68-6.24% among QCs. Inter-day precision (n = 3) was below 12.4%. The method accuracy was evaluated by the recovery test, and the accuracy for three analytes were between 91.6 and 110%. The developed method was applied to study antioxidant function of GLS2 in non-small cell lung cancer cells. Changes in concentrations of glutamine, glutamate and glutathione revealed that the overexpression of GLS2 could effectively decrease oxidative stress. In summary, this study developed a rapid HILIC-MS/MS method for quantification of GLS2-related metabolites that could facilitate elucidation of the role of GLS2 in tumor development.

Abstract
Flow cytometry has been used to accurately monitor cell events that indicate the spatio-temporal state of a bioreactor culture. The introduction of process analytical technology (PAT) has led to process improvements using real-time or semi real-time monitoring systems. Integration of flow cytometry into an automated scheme for improved process monitoring can benefit PAT in bioreactor-based biopharmaceutical productions by establishing optimum process conditions and better quality protocols. Herein, we provide detailed protocols for establishing an automated flow cytometry system that can be used to investigate and monitor cell growth, viability, cell size, and cell cycle data. A method is described for the use of such a system primarily focused on CHO cell culture, although it is foreseen the information gathered from automated flow cytometry can be applied to a variety of cell lines to address both PAT requirements and gain further understanding of complex biological systems.

Abstract
Mammalian cell-based bioprocesses are used extensively for production of therapeutic proteins. Off-line monitoring of such cultivations via manual sampling is often labor-intensive and can introduce operator-dependent error into the process. An integrated multi-functional off-line analyzer, the BioProfile FLEX (NOVA Biomedical, Waltham MA) has been developed, which combines the functionality of three off-line analyzers (a cell counter, an osmometer, and a gas/electrolyte & nutrient/metabolite bio-profile analyzer) into one device. In addition, a novel automated sampling system has also been developed that allows the BioProfile FLEX to automatically analyze the culture conditions in as many as ten bioreactors. This is the first report on the development and function of this integrated analyzer and an auto-sampler prototype for monitoring of mammalian cell cultures. Evaluation of the BioProfile FLEX was conducted in two separate laboratories and involved two BioProfile FLEX analyzers and two sets of reference analyzers (Nova BioProfile 400, Beckman-Coulter Vi-Cell AS, and Advanced Instruments Osmometer 3900), 13 CHO cell lines and over 20 operators. In general, BioProfile FLEX measurements were equivalent to those obtained using reference analyzers, and the auto-sampler did not alter the samples it provided to the BioProfile FLEX. These results suggest that the system has the potential to dramatically reduce the manual labor involved in monitoring mammalian cell bioprocesses without altering the quality of the data obtained, and integration with a bioreactor control system will allow feedback control of parameters previously available only for off-line monitoring.

Abstract
On-line, "real-time" monitoring of product concentration is important for mammalian cell culture fermentation. The continuous measurement of monoclonal antibodies allows for instantaneous determination of cell productivity and effective manipulation of the fermentor operating conditions for optimal production. This article will present the evaluation and application of a BioCad/RPM system (Per Septive Biosystems) for rapid analysis of lgG concentration for hybridoma cell cultivation. Several commercial crossflow filtration devices are tested for low protein retention and fouling properties. A protein G column is used successfully for analyzing about 400 samples of lgG(1), without significant loss in separation efficiency. The Immuno Detection system is integrated into a computer-controlled 15-L fermentor. This fermentor could be operated in batch and perfusion modes with cell densities up to 20 million cells/mL. A continuous cell-free sample stream obtained by a hollow fiber filter system is introduced to the BioCad/RPM for analysis. The speed of this system allows for real-time monitoring even at high densities with fast dynamics. A murine hybridoma cell (A10G10) is cultivated in batch and continuous reactors and antibody concentration is measured continuously with complete sterility. The results are compared to offline measurements with good agreement.

Abstract
Tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) mediated amperometric enzyme electrodes have been developed for the monitoring of L-glutamine and L-glutamic acid in growing mammalian cell cultures. The detection of glutamine was accomplished by a coupled enzyme system comprised of glutaminase plus glutamate oxidase, while the detection of glutamic acid was carried out by a single enzyme, glutamate oxidase. The appropriate enzyme(s) were immoblized on the Triton-X treated surface of tetrathiafulvalene modified carbon paste electrodes by adsorption, in conjunction with entrapment by an electrochemically deposited copolymer film of 1,3-phenylenediamine and resorcinol. Operating conditions for the glutamine enzyme electrode were optimized with respect to the amount of enzymes immoblized, pH, temperature and mobile phase flow rate for operation in a flow injection (FIA) system. When applied to glutamine and glutamic acid measurements in mammalian cell culture in FIA, the results obtained with enzyme electrodes were in excellent agreement with those determined by enzymatic analysis.

Abstract
A multi-channel flow injection analysis system was used for on-line monitoring of a continuous animal cell culture with high cell density. With this system, the glucose, lactate and glutamine concentration were determined using immobilized dehydrogenases, ammonium using an aqueous o-phthaldialdehyde solution. Glutamine concentration was determined on the basis of the difference between a glutamine and a glutamate measurement. To prevent disturbance of the measurement and pollution of the system, the analytes in the sample were separated from high molecular compounds by on-line dialysis. On-line gas dialysis was used to avoid interference of other amino groups with the ammonium determination. In addition, dialysis was used as a dilution step. The measurement time for all four components was 42 min. This time included a final washing period after the analysis cycle. The system was calibrated once a day. Two continuous cultivations of a hybridoma cell line immobilized in open-porous glass carriers were monitored, using a fluidized bed reactor as cultivation system. The concentration of glutamine, glucose and ammonium determined with the on-line FIA system were in good agreement with the off-line data determined once a day. Only the lactate data showed some deviation. The immobilized enzyme reactors could be used for up to 3000-5000 injections. During the first cultivation, lasting 200 h, the start up period of the reactor was monitored. The on-line measurements described much better the time-course of the concentrations than the off-line data. It was possible to estimate the growth rate of the cells in the micro-carriers by the on-line data. In the course of the second cultivation, which lasted almost 1000 h, the influence of the dissolved oxygen concentration on the cell metabolism was monitored. It was noted that a sudden change of the glutamine concentration in the feed caused a fast change of the consumption and production rate of the measured metabolites.

Abstract
A flow injection analytical system based on a gas diffusion membrane module for ammonia and an ammonium flow-through potentiometric detector has been set up for measurement of L-glutamine and ammonium ions in hybridoma cell cultures. The main feature of the system is that the same basic analytical concept and equipment is used in both measurements, the only difference being for the determination of L-glutamine, in which the sample flows through an immobilized glutaminase cartridge. The conditions to enable the performance of both analysis consecutively, avoiding potential interferences by unwanted deamination of other compounds in the samples, have been determined. Finally, the proposed system has been compared with reference analytical methods for batch hybridoma cell culture experiments.
