FOCUS ON OUTSOURCING

Why Contamination Control By Design Should Matter To Your CDMO

EU GMP Annex 1 mandates a documented contamination control strategy, and FDA expectations are substantively equivalent. Let's look at why CDMOs are disproportionately exposed.

Why Manufacturing Drives FDA CRLs In Cell Therapy

Manufacturing and quality gaps drive most FDA Complete Response Letters in cell therapy, often stemming from early‑stage decisions and unresolved CMC issues that become major late‑stage risks.

Handling Demanding Active Ingredients Safely And Efficiently

See three flexible Optima fill‑finish and syringe assembly systems to boost performance, accuracy, and scalability, enabling efficient processing of diverse formats and supporting rapid CDMO growth.

Flexibility In Development: From Tactical Response To Strategic Imperative

Build flexibility into your drug development strategy to navigate change effectively, maintain momentum, and drive successful outcomes across every stage of the lifecycle.

How Characterization Analytics Smooths The Path To IND

Smart analytical decisions made early can prevent costly issues later. Real-world examples show how right-sized analytics enable smoother scale-up and fewer late-stage surprises.

Scaling Manufacturing For Global Success

This collaboration demonstrates how a partnership-driven approach, combined with technical expertise, can deliver scalable and reliable solutions that support successful global commercialization.

Innovations In Hybridoma-Based Therapeutic Antibody Discovery

Leverage a hybridoma discovery and humanization platform to develop high-affinity, cross-reactive monoclonal antibodies against Type I transmembrane protein targets.

Redefining Cell Line Development For Next-Generation Biologics

A transposon‑enabled cell line development strategy streamlines upstream optimization, shortening timelines while improving consistency, yield, and quality across recombinant protein modalities.

The Bispecific Antibody Boom Has A Manufacturing Fix

Advanced cell line strategies improve stability and chain pairing while accelerating production, helping developers overcome scalability, productivity, and timeline challenges.

Bioprocessing Trends: Modern Comparability Analytics

Bioprocess changes require robust comparability strategies that combine risk assessment, advanced analytics, and regulatory expectations to keep biologics safe, effective, and compliant.

Five Tips For A Successful Tech Transfer To A CDMO

Successful tech transfer depends on solid documentation, early teamwork, clear expectations, proactive risk planning, and experienced partners to keep execution smooth and projects moving on schedule.

Scale-Up And BLA Planning For Microbial Biomanufacturing

Early planning for scale-up and biologics license application activities can maximize your chances of success by allowing sufficient time to develop launch options and prevent costly delays and setbacks.

Flexibility And Capability In Pre-Filled Syringes: The Future Of PFS

Outlined here are the benefits of PFS and how they relate to the delivery of drugs, how SARS-CoV-2 could be fueling an explosive increase in demand, and how partnering with a flexible CDMO is key.
