Express Media Service™
Source: Irvine Scientific
Irvine Scientific understands the critical role that prototypes play in media development. Through our Express Media Service™ (EMS), Irvine Scientific’s lab is virtually an extension of our customers' labs.
The EMS program offers:
- Flexible small-scale media production
- Express service, with orders usually ready within 10 business days or less
- Accessibility to Irvine Scientific’s EMS R&D team for formula review and consultation
The EMS program is ideally suited for:
- Scale-down modeling
- Small-scale process development prior to scale-up
- Troubleshooting and media screening of custom products
- Critical raw material evaluation
- Formula development and optimization
Supported Formulas
- Customer-developed formulas
- Irvine Scientific formulas (e.g. BalanCD™ CHO Feed 1 with high glucose, or low NaCl)
- Classical formulas with or without modifications (e.g. RPMI medium 1640 with low NaCl)
Powder and Liquid Formulas
Liquid Media:
- Liquid lots from 1L to 200L
- Media can be packaged in bottles ranging from 100mL to 1L, or standard bags from 5L up to 20L
Powder Media:
- Powder lots from 1kg to 25kg
- Media are packaged in containers by weight
- EMS milling technology is the same as in the large-scale GMP manufacturing facilities. This consistency reduces the variability in scaling up
Raw Material Control
- Raw materials used in the EMS lab are the same high-grade raw materials used in large-scale GMP production that have been approved by Quality Assurance, whenever possible
- Control and care of the raw materials is the same as within Irvine Scientific’s ISO13485:2012 regulated facilities
QC Testing
Quality control testing and Spent Media Analysis is available on EMS products, and can be priced and performed upon request. Optional testing includes:
- Appearance
- pH
- Endotoxin
- Moisture
- Conductivity
- Mycoplasma
- Trace metals (full panel)
- Amino acid analysis (HPLC)
- Osmolality
- Bioburden
- TOC
- MVM
