Industry Innovators 2018-2019
Pfizer CentreOne Contract Manufacturing
Pfizer CentreOne is a global contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) embedded within Pfizer. We focus on custom API synthesis, sterile injectable fill–finish, and highly potent oral solid dose; and we are a leading supplier of steroid and hormone APIs and intermediates. For more than 40 years, we’ve manufactured complex compounds for our biopharmaceutical partners, guiding their drugs safely from development through commercialization. The Value of the Embedded-CDMO Model: Your molecule is manufactured in the same facilities that produce Pfizer’s…
Prometic Bioseparations Increases Manufacturing Capacity for GMP- Standard Chromatography Adsorbents
For over 25 years, Prometic Bioseparations Ltd (PBL) has produced chromatography adsorbents in batch sizes up to 280 L under cleanroom/good manufacturing practice (GMP) conditions at its Isle of Man (UK) manufacturing site. Following a sustained increase in demand for its chromatography products, PBL made the decision to expand its manufacturing operations to meet the projected future demand. During 2013, designs to expand the plant were developed. Between 2014 and 2017, a major investment focused on the expansion of PBL’s…

Preventing the Risk of Contamination with a Robust System for Anaerobic Testing
Environmental monitoring, product quality control, and mycoplasma testing of biopharmaceuticals require anaerobic bacteria monitoring. If the proper environment is not created when performing microbial testing, bacteria will not grow, and a possible contamination could be missed. Any bacterial contamination of biopharmaceutical products can have major negative effects on manufacturing, production costs, and profit margins. A technology that relies on the evacuation and replacement of oxygen in a jar is valuable to the biopharmaceutical industry because it creates a quality-assured anaerobic…
Horizon’s Alternative CHO K1 GS Knockout Cell Line Drives Access to Cutting-Edge Biomanufacturing Cell Lines
Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells are the expression system of choice for the manufacturing of biotherapeutics. They have the capacity to express a range of proteins such as therapeutic enzymes or monoclonal antibodies at multiple gram per liter titers. As expression technologies have developed, obtaining such titers has been achieved mainly through improvements to media and feed. Similarly, the ability to identify high-productivity clones has been streamlined through the use of different selection systems, with metabolic selection being the preferred…
Purification Control Systems for Every Step of the Development Process
Early stage development of biological unit operations is critical to ensuring an efficient and robust commercially viable process. Often, the types of experiments required in early stage development are arduous tasks that require extensive testing of different critical process parameters, filters, and other essential production components. Such testing inherently produces massive amounts of data that must be carefully analyzed. To streamline the development process and optimize operational efficiency, PendoTECH has developed a full offering of control systems specifically designed for…
Efficient Bioprocess Development with Online Analytics and Data Management
As an engineering company, we are optimizing and developing new technologies for more efficiency in bioprocessing. Building on over 25 years of experience in online analytics, information processing, and automation technology, we aim to be the trusted technology provider for optimized workflows through automated sampling and process information management. Who We Are Securecell emerged in 2009 from the company Biospectra, which was founded as a spin-off from ETH Zürich in 1992. Ever since, development of online analytic solutions for bioprocess…
Acidic IgM Purification with a New Anion Exchange Resin
IgM antibodies are one of the fastest growing groups of diagnostic and therapeutic candidates. Unlike IgGs, IgMs cannot be purified by affinity chromatography due to their physiochemical properties. The large size of IgMs presents an additional purification challenge. Bio-Rad has developed a new strong anion exchange (AEX) resin — Nuvia HP-Q — to overcome the multiple issues faced when purifying large biomolecules. We show the purification of an acidic IgM antibody with capture purification using Nuvia HP-Q and polish purification…
