Product news

Stedim Biotech (SSB), a leading international supplier for the biopharmaceutical industry announced that its subsidiary BioOutsource launched an updated website to spotlight Sartorius Stedim Cellca’s cell line and upstream process development services for the biopharmaceutical industry.

The new microsite features insights into the technology and development services of Cellca most recently acquired by SSB. The availability of both subsidiaries’ unique range of integrated services will support biopharma companies to rapidly and cost-effectively develop their biologics and biosimilars.

The new microsite divides into four easy-to-navigate sections that explain Cellca’s unique CHO Expression Platform which comprises of Expression Vector, Host Cell Line, CHO Media System and Upstream Process Design. This structure gives a simple overview of the technical details and time-saving benefits of this robust, scalable expression platform for individual applications.

Cellca’s cell line and upstream process development services complement BioOutsource’s broad range of bioanalytical and biosafety testing, as well as pre-qualified biosimilar assays. As a result, scientists and potential customers can source all their needs for developing biologics and biosimilars from one trusted supplier. Additionally, as both Cellca and BioOutsource have been part of Sartorius Stedim Biotech since 2015, biopharma firms that need to commercialize their biologics will not only benefit from this niche expertise, but can also access Sartorius Stedim Biotech’s extensive global upstream process development capabilities to accelerate the development timeline of their biologics and biosimilars.

Gerry MacKay, Managing Director of Sartorius Stedim BioOutsource, commented: “We’re pleased to be launching our new microsite because it signals the availability of our unique integrated services. Developers of biologics and biosimilars can now go to our site to find out how to access a fully integrated pathway from cell line development and data characterization through to upstream process development. They can also discover how these services will support them to comply with regulatory standards for timely, cost-effective development of their biosimilars.”

Sample PreparationSample preparation can improve the quality and speed of separation techniques. Products to assist sample preparation include filtration equipment, evaporators, membranes and sieves.Combinatorial ChemistryCombinatorial chemistry, also known as combichem, is a technique used in drug discovery to create libraries of structurally related compounds. A library is generated by synthesis with a chemical reactor system or by computer-based modeling of compound combinations. When undertaking combinatorial chemistry consider reagents, buffers, resins and standards.Cell Lines Stem Cells and Primary CellsPrimary cell cultures, established cell lines and stem cells are vital for <i>in vitro</i> and <i>ex vivo</i> experimentation. High-quality cells, optimized for your applications, alongside optimized cell substrates, growth medium and supplements, are critical for experimental success. Explore a range of cells suitable for your applications, including isogenic cell lines, competent cells, induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived cell lines, fungal/bacterial/mammalian cell lines, stem cells and cancer cell lines. Find the best cells for your research in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Data AnalysisData analysis hardware and software is available to make data processing straight-forward yet powerful. Data software can be used for math and stats, technical graphing and image analysis. In addition, software is available for specific data analysis of electrophoresis, densitometry, ELISA and DNA sequencing.Chem / BioinformaticsCheminformatics and bioinformatics are computational techniques used in chemistry and biology, respectively, for data acquisition, processing and storage. Cheminformatics focuses on compound information, whereas bioinformatics is mainly applied to analysis and modeling of genomics, genetic and sequencing information. Hardware and software is available for data acquisition, analysis, management and storage.Integration ServicesIncorporate lab systems, software and equipment with integration services.Sample ManagementSample management systems include sample storage devices such as freezers and plate storers, sample environment enclosures and sample organization, retrieval and sorter systems. Useful system features include high-throughput, automation, robotic arms, automated liquid handling and associated database systems. Accessories in sample management include barcode scanners, heat sealers and tubes.Biopharmaceutical AdvancesBiopharmaceutical advances follow the development of pharmaceuticals derived from biotechnology, also known as biotechnology medicines. Biopharmaceuticals may be produced from cell lines, plants, or microbial cells. Important considerations of biopharmaceutical use include application, cost, production process and purification.Discovery SoftwareComputational techniques used in both the chemistry and biology aspects of drug discovery, for data acquisition, processing and storage. Software is used for analysis of pathways, target identification, genomics, proteomics, modelling, lead identification, compound analysis and drug modelling among many others. Bioprocessing / FermentationBioprocessing is the use of biological materials to perform commercial, scientific or medical research processes. Biological materials used include cells, enzymes and organisms. Usually bioprocessing requires a batch or continuous bioreactor such as a fermentor or cell culture system. The advantages of using a reactor include high productivity, easy configuration, adjustable values and automation.RegulatoryPharmaceutical regulations impact on all areas of drug development, manufacture and control and supply. Services are provided from the early stages of drug development and clinical trials through to dossier submission, approval and marketing. Regulatory also includes submission of analytical studies from the pharmaceutical product and safety. BiopharmaceuticalsBiopharmaceuticals are proteins and other compounds (such as nucleic acids) produced by living organisms that have uses as therapeutics or for in vivo diagnostics. The most well known example of a biopharmaceutical product, and the first to be approved for therapeutic use, was recombinant human insulin.hiPS Cell LinesDevice IntegrationBiologicsBiologics are medical products derived from living organisms, including vaccines, gene therapies, and monoclonal antibodies. These treatments are key to modern healthcare, especially in oncology and autoimmune diseases. Explore biologics research tools in our peer-reviewed product directory; compare products, check reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.
