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…

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…

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…
