Process modelling for chromatography – how is it used?

Process modelling of chromatographic behavior, in an industrial setting, can be a useful tool in dealing with the complexities of purification process development, optimization and scale-up. It can...

Enhanced Capture Process - a presentation

Just before the Christmas break, Lars, Haneskog, Bio-Works R&D Director, presented a new and proven strategy for downstream processing at the New Horizons in Biologics and Bioprocessing conference....

How reversing downstream bioprocess steps can make all the difference

Improving downstream bioprocess economy depends on fine-tuning an enormous range of parameters, from culture and harvesting to purification and final polishing. Success depends on the ability to...

Ten things you must know when producing synthetic therapeutic peptides

Peptide therapeutic agents are enjoying increasing success but they are challenging to produce and, not least, to purify. Purity requirements are, in fact, approaching those for small molecules....

Join the effort to make chromatography sustainable

The environmental impact of pharmaceutical R&D and production is considerable. Although the industry is rather conservative and also constrained by regulatory guidelines, there is increasing interest...

Affordable and safe biosimilars for affordable healthcare

When it comes to many serious and challenging diseases, healthcare has reached a point of unsustainability, due to drug costs. For example, sustained therapy for an autoimmune disease or cancer,...

Illnesses with approved monoclonal antibody therapies

As our understanding of diseases at the molecular level increases, so does the potential for monoclonal antibody (mAb) - related therapies. Platform approaches to mAb production, including...

Improve peptide purification for affordable insulin

The global diabetes pandemic has created a massive demand for insulin, especially in China, which is expected to soon have half the world’s diabetes patients. Meeting this demand means developing...

Three market changes that will impact the production of mAbs

In 2015, the monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) market was estimated to be USD 85,4 billion and predicted to reach approximately USD 130 billion in 2023[1]. However, new research points at a much higher...

How pure is pure? Controlling your mAb purification process

Monoclonal antibodies, mAbs, form a well-established, technologically advanced segment of the pharmaceutical industry offering hope for large groups of patients who have difficult-to-treat cancers,...
