German cell culture expert offers analytical services to industrial or academic partners in the field of biotech/biopharma

Country of Origin: Germany
Reference Number: TODE20181219001
Publication Date: 9 January 2019

Summary

A German company, expert in cell culture media, offers analytical methods in the field of biotech/pharma: from spent media analytics over product analytics to physico-chemical analytics. Their performance, speed, fexibility and technology in form of innovative formulations makes them a unique, highly experienced partner. They look for industrial/academic partners for services agreement, e.g. contract analytics and/or research cooperation in the area of spent media analysis.

Description

For the rational development of cell culture media and optimal cultivation of mammalian cell lines, it is essential to understand the cultivation processes in detail. Special analytical methods are available (utilizing e.g. ultra-performance liquid chromatography or mass spectrometry) to study cell culture supernatants (spent media) and draw conclusions about the processes and the cell lines' needs.



A German company is a leading expert in mammalian cell culture media and feed development as well as in customization thereof. Through years of experience, they have also been able to develop themselves strongly in the field of analytics. The company offers a broad portfolio of analytical methods for (spent) media, product and physio-chemical analytics. 



With a highly capable team, they generate comprehensive data sets for their customers' cultures or samples, which enable them to better understand their processes and complex cell behaviour.



In terms of (spent) media analytics the company provides measurements of amino acids, vitamins, saccharides, lactate, pyruvate, and other organic acids, inorganic cations and inorganic anions. Physico-chemical analyses of liquid (spent) media include the determination of pH, turbidity, osmolality and redox potential, whereas moisture analysis and particle size distribution are methods offered for the characterization of powder media. 



In the area of product analytics, the company provides product quantification using size-exclusion chromatography, protein A affinity chromatography, or reverse phase chromatography. 



Methods for protein characterization comprise sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, mass spectrometry-based peptide mapping, lysine-clipping and glycolisation analysis.



Industrial partners e.g. from the biotech and pharmaceutical industry as well as partners from research institutes/universities in that field are sought via services agreement and/or research cooperation agreement. The company is interested in finding partners – industrial or academic - from the field of biotech/biopharma for contract analytic and analytical services and strategic partnerships. Also research and development collaborations in the area of spent media analysis are sought.They would like to cooperate with companies/institutes providing a cell line/system and/or having a specific analytical question.The company will provide its wide range of state-of-the-art analytical equipment and know-how.



They are also open to other forms of cooperation.

Advantages and Innovations

The company is flexible, fast and highly experienced in the field of cell culture media and feed development as well as process development and analytics. 



Their analytical portfolio is broad due to the fact that it has been established in years of work. It ranges from spent media analytics over product analytics to physico-chemical analytics.



The company is flexible with a swift, personal communication and a customer support directly by their experts who developed/validated the products and analytical methods.



The company’s analysis methods for the determination of various cell culture media constituents and metabolites are fast and results are provided within ten working days. With their validated and sensitive amino acid analysis method they are able to measure all proteinogenic amino acids, as well as cystin, hydroxyprolin, ornithin, taurin, citrullin and ethanolamin. The highly efficient analysis of a great number of water-soluble vitamins, including vitamin B1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, 12, is another of their specialities.



Their technology is characterized by innovative formulations and scalability.
