Helpful Biosafety Testing Innovations Where And When You Need Them

Monoclonal antibody manufacturing continues to evolve through innovations in engineering, formulation, and biosafety to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and expand therapeutic impact amid growing demand and biosimilar competition.

 

Regulatory Considerations For Alternative Microbial Methods

Global regulatory guidance, such as the International Council on Harmonization (ICH) Q5A, requires drug manufacturers to implement measures to prevent, remove, and detect contaminants. Explore the regulatory expectations for the incorporation of alternative methods with a focus on comparability and strategies for easier substitution.

 

Genetic Stability Testing With Whole Genome Sequencing

Whole genome sequencing (WGS) by Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) offers a faster, sequence-agnostic approach for genetic stability testing compared to existing monitoring techniques. Here, we describe the use of WGS to perform a comprehensive assessment of genetic stability in clonally-derived CHO cell banks using a single method.
