An improved system for large scale production of proteins and / or polypeptides in cell culture, particularly in media characterized by one or more of: i) a cumulative amino acid concentration greater than about 70 mM; ii) a molar cumulative glutamine to cumulative asparagine ratio of less than about 2; iii) a molar cumulative glutamine to cumulative total amino acid ratio of less than about 0.2; iv) a molar cumulative inorganic ion to cumulative total amino acid ratio between about 0.4 to 1; or v) a combined cumulative glutamine and cumulative asparagine concentration between about 16 and 36 mM, is provided. The use of such a system allows high levels of protein production and lessens accumulation of certain undesirable factors such as ammonium and / or lactate. Additionally, culture methods including a temperature shift, typically including a decrease in temperature when the culture has reached about 20-80% of it maximal cell density, are provided. Alternatively or additionally, the present invention provides methods such that, after reaching a peak, lactate and / or ammonium levels in the culture decrease over time.

An apparatus for water treatment which comprises a means of removing ingredients contained in water and a means of adsorbing ions with a porous molding as an adsorbent, wherein the porous molding comprises fibrils comprising an organic polymer resin and an inorganic ion adsorbent. The fibrils form interconnecting pores open to the outer surface and have voids in inner parts thereof, at least part of the voids being open to the surface of the fibrils. The inorganic ion adsorbent has been deposited on the outer surface of the fibrils and on the surface of the voids in the fibrils.

The invention discloses a high-strength and hydrophilic polysulfone hollow fibre ultrafiltration membrane, belonging to the technical field of membranes. The invention is characterized in that: complex reaction between a soluble polymer and inorganic ions is utilized to improve the hydrophilicity of the membrane by adding a water-soluble polymer of metallic compound complex into a polysulfone material; the strength of the membrane is improved by preparing a hollow fibre membrane with spinning equipment, especially adopting a porous spinning jet to prepare a porous hollow fibre membrane which has a plurality of mutual-supporting porous channels; and the spinnability of the casting solution is improved by adding an auxiliary additive to produce a series of hollow fibre ultrafiltration membranes with different molecular weight cut-off (MWCO)s, satisfying various demands and having wide application scope. The preparing technology of the invention is simple to carry out industrialization production, thereby having good application prospect.
