BY-2 cell lysate was investigated to enable the production of difficult-to-produce proteins in larger protein quantities. For the preparation of lysate with a final volume of 1 L, important preparation steps such as the cultivation and protoplast formation of the BY-2 cells were transferred from the shake flask process to a stirred tank reactor (STR) process. The transfer of the cultivation process for the purpose of lysate production was successful, but with up to 30 $\%$ lower biomass formation compared to the shake flask and a negative influence of media sterilization using heat on the quality of the lysates. The lower biomass formation was compensated for by e. g. increasing the culture volume by 25 $\%.$ For media sterilization, a combination of filtration and heat sterilization was developed so that influences on the lysate quality were minimized. An influence of the stirring frequency and the aeration rate was identified for the protoplast formation, and process parameters of 180 rpm and 0.1 vvm (laboratory fermentation system) were defined. Five processes were carried out for the preparation of 1 L of lysate per cycle, in each of which 50 L of suspension culture could be processed into one liter of lysate. The lysates showed variations in quality with yields for eYFP $11\%$ better and $80\%$ worse and for GOx $44\%$ better and $69\%$ worse compared to the reference. In the early development phase of this upscaled preparation process, optimizations of the individual steps were continuously implemented and data for possible quality parameters were recorded during the process. These data, such as PCV values of the cultivation, protoplast and evacuated protoplast number, could be evaluated retrospectively and possible quality parameters identified. In order to carry out the CFPS reaction in a volume of 1 L, three different reactor vessels were tested: a roller bottle, a wave-mixed bag bioreactor (CELL-tainer) and an STR. It was found that the CFPS reaction was possible in both the CELL-tainer and the STR with the same efficiency compared to the reference in a microtiter plate. The CFPS reactions in the CELL-tainer showed a yield comparable to the reference when expressing eYFP, while the expression of GOx showed a 62 $\%$ loss in efficiency. Initially, the process in the STR was associated with foam formation, which could be minimized by adapting the stirrer design. The reaction in the roller bottle showed a significant difference in performance with $50\%$ lower yields compared to the reference in a microtiter plate. Finally, the method was evaluated on two product candidates, bovine enterokinase (EKL) and the fusion protein of MSP4-specific scFv antibody and granzyme B (GrB-scFv). The yields of GrB-scFv were comparable to cell-based yields with 1.4 mg of purified protein per liter of lysate, while those of EKL were below cell-based yields with 0.4 mg of purified protein per liter of lysate. In summary, the scaling up of the system from BY-2 cells and its application on a larger scale could be demonstrated. The cell lysate has great potential as a platform technology to enable important aspects of the bioeconomy in the long term, such as the establishment of resource-saving biological processes for industry.}, cin = {416510 / 162910 / 160000}, ddc = {570}, cid = {$I:(DE-82)416510_20140620$ / $I:(DE-82)162910_20140620$ / $I:(DE-82)160000_20140620$}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)11}, doi = {10.18154/RWTH-2025-01489}, url = {https://publications.rwth-aachen.de/record/1004548}, }
