Employing Near-Infrared Spectroscopic Methods of Analysis for Fermentation Monitoring and Control: Part 1, Method Development

Gender diversity and equality in leadership positions have been shown to improve profitability and return on equity through greater innovation and more creative solutions.

In this episode, we explore BIOVECTRA’s capabilities in antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) manufacturing, from complex conjugation chemistry to synthesis of highly potent payloads. We’ll also showcase how BIOVECTRA’s extensive experience in complex chemistries and specialized small molecule manufacturing gives them a unique perspective, strengthening their approach to ADC production and ensuring clients receive custom solutions across all project stages.

The investment, led by Foresight Group and secured alongside funding from PARP, will be used to further commercialize uFraction8’s microfiltration technology.

Metabolic Flux Analysis (MFA) is a powerful technique used to characterize metabolic phenotype driving to improved productivity in biomanufacturing. MFA is most powerful when absolute concentrations of the metabolic intermediates are measured, but doing so in practice is often impractical due to inherent limitations of conventional absolute quantitation by mass spectral analysis. Recently, advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have been applied to solving the problem of broad, untargeted, absolute quantitation in liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). These new approaches extend readily to the determination of absolute concentrations of stable isotopically-labeled metabolic intermediates, offering a new tool for MFA. Dr Sam Yenne from Metalytics Inc., a company that specializes in the science of metabolic flux, has recently assessed and adopted Pyxis, a new tool for absolute quantitation of raw LC-MS data. Dr Yenne describes MFA, its utility in biopharmaceutical development, associated challenges and how Pyxis impacts those challenges.

RNA modalities will especially benefit from fuller adoption of continuous manufacturing platforms.

G-CON’s floorlessPOD is a free-standing structure that provides direct integration with the host facility floor, eliminating the need for ramps, platforms and stairs typically required with prefabricated structures that have integrated floors. With fully integrated MEP, the floorlessPOD is an ideal solution when the cleanroom cannot be structurally supported by the host facility.
