TABLE 3.

Cost estimates for different antibody manufacturing strategies, followed by either chromatographic or caprylic acid purification.

 CostAb Downstream process

Chromatography Caprylic acid
Fed-Batch 62 USD/g 46 USD/g
Upstream process Hybrid 47 USD/g 33 USD/g
Continuous perfusion 89 USD/g 42 USD/g

These estimates assume an annual production volume of 500 kg of antibodies.
