Preserving Lentiviral Titer During Sterile Filtration Using Recombinant Albumin

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Lentivirus production is central to CAR-T manufacturing, and is even more critical with the emergence of in vivo CAR-T approaches. This puts increased emphasis on the need for high-yield lentivirus manufacturing. However, lentiviruses are inherently fragile, and infectious titer is lost at every step in manufacturing.  The shift towards suspension systems, and chemically …

Beyond Synthetic Surfactants: The Case for Recombinant Human Serum Albumin (rHSA) as an Ideal Alternative to Poloxamer 188

Reading time: 4 minutes Share this article: For decades, the biopharmaceutical industry has relied on Pluronic F68 (Poloxamer 188, P188) as the standard shear protectant in sparged bioreactors. This reliance emerged from regulatory pressure to remove serum-derived contaminants, including BSE and TSE from manufacturing workflows. More recently, however, manufacturing disruptions linked to poloxamer 188, have …

InVitria and Cellevate Partner on Vaccine Manufacturing

InVitria has entered a strategic collaboration with Cellevate AB to explore improved upstream solutions for viral vaccine production. The collaboration brings together Cellevate’s Cellevat3d® nanofiber microcarrier platform with InVitria’s chemically defined recombinant proteins to support scalable, animal-origin-free vaccine manufacturing workflows. Cellevat3d enables high-density adherent cell culture, while InVitria’s recombinant media components help provide consistent and …

Enhancing Cell Therapy Consistency and Safety

This poster evaluates recombinant human serum albumin (rHSA, Optibumin® 25) as a structurally defined alternative to plasma-derived human serum albumin (pHSA) in T cell wash and cryopreservation workflows. Analytical characterization (SEC and Cys34 redox) demonstrates reduced aggregate burden and structural heterogeneity, with functional validation in T cell and MSC cryopreservation, including reduced-DMSO conditions. Equivalent T …

Replacing the “Necessary Evil”: Recombinant Human Serum Albumin as a Chemically Stable Alternative to Polysorbates in Biopharmaceutical Formulation

Reading time: 4 minutes Share this article: Polysorbate 20 and polysorbate 80 have long been treated as default stabilizers in biopharmaceutical formulations. They are effective surfactants and, for many years, have been viewed as a practical solution to interfacial stress and aggregation. Over time, however, a growing body of evidence has shown that these excipients …
