A common challenge in scaling up cell and gene therapy production is monitoring for contaminants, such as Mycoplasma. Learn how ddPCR can help in this webinar.

For over 30 years, CHT Ceramic Hydroxyapatite Chromatography Media has been a trusted, proven purification solution for many biopharmaceutical manufacturing processes. CHT Media provides exceptional removal of impurities when other chromatography resins fall short. In this webcast, explore the essential facts and benefits of this chromatography technology.

In nature, mammalian extracellular vesicles (EVs) are vital for intercellular communication, immune responses, and cell removal. EVs also hold promise in diagnostics, therapeutics, and vaccine delivery due to their abundance and natural role as carriers. Explore how overcoming challenges in EV purification and precise RNA analysis methods can help unlock their potential applications.

Endotoxins are common impurities that pose safety risks in therapeutic protein preparations and are difficult to remove. See proven workflows and strategies.

Bispecific antibodies pose unique challenges in downstream processing. See how impurities were efficiently removed by mixed-mode chromatography in this webinar.

In recent years, biologics — drugs derived from living culture systems — have become increasingly significant in the fight against a plethora of conditions. Unfortunately, the efficiency of these drugs comes at a cost. A daily dose of a biologic drug costs, on average, 22 times more than conventional small-molecule drugs. Therefore, biosimilars are developed to make them more accessible. Lung cancer is an example where the development of biosimilars could increase treatment options available for patients.

Biotherapeutic antibody discovery is inherently challenging. Amongst the clinically proven technologies for antibody discovery is phage display — a technique utilized by one of the most recent and innovative solutions on the market: the Pioneer Antibody Discovery Platform.

The therapeutic potential of messenger RNA (mRNA) therapeutics has an unprecedented ability to target previously undruggable diseases. The poly(A) tail drives the therapeutic efficacy of the mRNA molecule. Using Droplet Digital PCR (ddPCR) technology to analyze poly(A) tail length and integrity yields unrivaled sensitivity, enabling developers to ensure high poly(A) tail integrity and, ultimately, functional therapeutic mRNAs.

Lentiviral vectors (LVVs) have become the primary method of gene delivery for cells ex vivo in both academic and clinical applications. Currently, qPCR is the gold standard for functional titering of LVVs, but Droplet Digital PCR (ddPCR) offers an attractive alternative due to its inherent benefits, such as absolute quantification without the use of a standard curve and enhanced resistance to PCR inhibitors.

The realm of druggable targets has expanded significantly with the advent of mRNA therapeutics. Scientists require exceptional accuracy and confidence to adequately characterize these therapeutics and their anticipated effects. To this end, Droplet Digital PCR (ddPCR) technology has proven invaluable. With unparalleled precision and absolute quantification, Droplet Digital PCR is revolutionizing the field of mRNA therapeutic development and manufacturing.
