Reading time: 3 minutes Share this article: Biomanufacturing safety is currently compromised by the persistent risk of adventitious agents inherent to serum-derived products. Fetal bovine serum (FBS) is frequently contaminated with bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV), a virus that can evade standard filtration and survive irradiation. Human AB serum presents a different but equally significant …
Audio Summary: Optibumin 25 Stabilizes High-Cost Cytokines EXECUTIVE SUMMARY High-value cytokines and growth factors are the economic and functional drivers of modern cell therapy and biomanufacturing, frequently accounting for over 80% of total media costs. However, these critical investments are constantly at risk due to inherent protein fragility, leading to rapid aggregation, surface adsorption, and …
Reading time: 4 minutes Share this article: The biopharmaceutical industry faces a critical quality control challenge: the inherent variability of serum and plasma-derived products. While traditionally relied upon for cell culture, blood-derived albumin introduces significant lot-to-lot inconsistencies in protein heterogeneity, growth factor content, and biochemical profiles. These variations directly impact manufacturing success, particularly in …
