Jayme Cell density, longevity, and expression are the economics of cell cultures in biopharmaceutical production ? and rich growth media are the investment. Glucose and glutamine are primary energy sources for culture growth, but their associated metabolic wastes can actually harm cell cultures. Adapting cell lines to reduced levels of glucose and glutamine, then feeding the culture chemically defined nutrient supplements, increases cell viability, maximizes cell density, and increases product expression.
The Solution Lies with SOLBIOTE™: Achieving Sustainability, a Growing Focus in Biopharma
October 28th 2024The nexus between biopharmaceuticals and sustainability is seemingly far apart, however, it is increasingly recognized as an inevitable challenge. It is encouraged to take a sustainable approach to reducing the environmental impact of the production and supply of medicines while improving people's health; delivering the well-being of people and the planet. Yosuke Shimojo (Technical Value Support Section Manager, Nagase Viita) will unveil how SOLBIOTE™, a portfolio of injectable-grade saccharide excipients, would be a key for the biopharmaceutical development and achieving sustainability for a better future of the industry.
