The optimization of bioprocess for CHO cell culture involves careful consideration of factors such as nutrient consumption, metabolic byproduct accumulation, cell growth, and monoclonal antibody (mAb) production. Valuable insights can be obtained by understanding cellular physiology to ensure robust and efficient bioprocess. This study aims to improve our understanding of the CHO‐K1 cell metabolism using 1H NMR‐based metabolomics. Initially, the variations in culture performance and metabolic profiles under varied aeration conditions and copper supplementations were thoroughly examined. Furthermore, a comprehensive metabolic pathway analysis was performed to assess the impact of these conditions on the implicated pathways. The results revealed substantial alterations in the pyruvate metabolism, histidine metabolism, as well as phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan biosynthesis, which were especially evident in cultures subjected to copper deficiency conditions. Conclusively, significant metabolites governing cell growth and mAb titer were identified through orthogonal partial least square‐discriminant analysis (OPLS‐DA). Metabolites, including glycerol, alanine, formate, glutamate, phenylalanine, and valine, exhibited strong associations with distinct cell growth phases. Additionally, glycerol, acetate, lactate, formate, glycine, histidine, and aspartate emerged as metabolites influencing cell productivity. This study demonstrates the potential of employing 1H NMR‐based metabolomics technology in bioprocess research. It provides valuable guidance for feed medium development, feeding strategy design, bioprocess parameter adjustments, and ultimately the enhancement of cell proliferation and mAb yield.
