Challenges and Solutions for Developing New Monoclonal Antibodies
Unprecedented advances in medicine are delivering remarkable results for some patients. Recent approvals of CAR T therapies and new approaches in regenerative medicine, for example, exemplify Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) used for immunotherapy stimulate the immune system to mount a response to target antigens. These powerful therapeutics are being used to...
Intellicyt® iQue3
Multiple rounds of monitoring are required when screening for the desired antibody characteristics operating on immune cell function.
Easily identify and rank your mAb for desired functional criteria with large multi-plate screening campaigns using the Panorama feature of ForeCyt® software, part of the iQue3 platform.
Sartoclear® Dynamics Lab P15 and Lab V and Sartolab® MultiStation
Rapid and convenient clarification of high-density mammalian cell cultures is often challenging. Sartoclear® Dynamics Lab provides a single-step clarification and sterile filtration protocol 70% faster than traditional centrifugation--without clogging. Quickly and easily harvest your target molecule from clarified supernatant with our simplified, small-scale mammalian cell harvest tools for antibody preparation before further analysis.
Microsart® AMP Mycoplasma Kit
Mycoplasma are widespread contaminants in cell culture. Given their tiny size (~0.3-0.8 µm), mycoplasma cannot be visualized by microscopy. Cultivation-based detection takes 28 days, and even then, the colonies are difficult to visualize with the naked eye. Mycoplasma-contaminated products present a human health risk, so you must confirm your cell lines are uncontaminated.
Microsart® qPCR kits offer a safe and rapid method for early detection of mycoplasma contamination. It’s fast, highly specific and compliant with international guidelines.
Sartorius Stedim BioOutsource Testing Services
The foundation for approval of novel biological entities and biosimilar drugs is built on a robust analytical data package that proves the safety, purity, and potency of your product. Our BioOutsource analytical testing package combines physiochemical and biological analysis for in-depth characterization and comparability studies from a single contract partner. Our service uses platform methods, off-the-shelf assays, and custom developed bioassays to enable rapid data-driven decisions during drug development and is available for pre-clinical through clinical phases and lot release.
BioOutsource Testing Services provides a unique range of integrated testing services to support biopharmaceutical drug development with physicochemical and biological characterization services for biologics.
