Express Media Service™

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
