Cell Line Development

Industry-leading cell lines are screened to select clones with highest titer and representative PQ to the reference product. By initiating cell line development early, future biosimilars can be de-risked via understanding of early analytical and safety profiles of the product prior to process development initiation.

  • We model future biosimilar demand to ensure our productivities are sufficient for worldwide supply after approval.
  • Single Cell Clones
  • Four (4) Final RCBs
  • Ambr15 titer and PQ data on top clones
  • ICH compliant data packages

Commercially-Viable Process Development

sb-section-ft-img-2

Our upstream development efforts use robust small-scale bioreactors to quickly and cost effectively screen media, feed, and bioreactor conditions. Using high-throughput analytical readouts, we make sure to understand the effects on product quality at every stage of development, starting at 15 mL microbioreactors, to 3L glass, to 50L SUB, and through a 200L IND-enabling production run.

Our downstream scientists screen commercially available resins to clear both product and process specific impurities. The finalized 2 or 3 step process will meet commercial production demands for yield and purity.

  • Scalable upstream process, data from 15 mL to 200L
  • Commercially-ready purification process
  • Toxicology material ready for use
  • Full use of reference product analytical data packages
