Data-Driven Decisions to Maximize Productivity Using Automated Immunoassays in Clone and Bioprocess Development
High productivity in bioprocess development demands efficient bioanalytical procedures to measure clone expression, product titer, and process impurities. Commonly used methods such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) or high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) can create bottlenecks in critical workflows due to limitations in throughput, performance, and time to results.

Generation of High-Performing CHO Cell Lines for GMP Biomanufacturing
Since the approval of tPA derived from Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells in 1986, stable expression of recombinant proteins has become a very important system for the manufacture of therapeutic proteins. With an increasing number of therapeutic proteins in development, the demand for fast and robust development of manufacturing cell lines is still increasing. During the past 30 years, the productivity of stable recombinant cell lines could be increased from <100 mg/L to several g/L. The huge increase in productivity…
Nova Biomedical
Nova Biomedical is a technology company based in Waltham, MA, that provides state-of-the-art, automated cell-culture analyzers for the biopharmaceutical market. In 1998, Nova introduced the first line of chemistry analyzers for the biotechnology industry: the BioProfile® series. Nearly a decade later, Nova added the BioProfile Flex series featuring an expanded menu and real-time analysis of key metabolites, nutrients, and gases in cell culture media. In 2011, we announced the BioProfile CDV automated cell density/viability analyzer, which measures up to 80…
Performing Three Key Microbiology Quality Control Tests with a Single, Automated Instrument
Microbial quality control (QC) testing is a critical aspect of pharmaceutical, medical device, and personal‑care products manufacturing. Such tests typically include the following: environmental monitoring (analyzing the air, surfaces, and personnel within cleanrooms to ensure manufacturing areas meet mandated standards) bioburden testing (testing devices, components, raw materials, or finished goods to verify that the total population of viable organisms is within acceptable limits) sterility testing (testing final or in‑process products for viable organisms; a sterility test result should show no…
