Platforms, more than their single modules

Quick - Predictable - Reproducible

Punctual solutions seldom bring sustainable value to clients, Therefore we have an integral approach. We have developed platform technologies for the manufacturing of recombiant proteins and vaccines. Our platforms consist of host cell lines, culture media and cell cultivation methodology from cell thaw up to harvest of a production bioeactor.

Sustainable

Using platforms we avoid repetitive development of culture media or bioreactor processes. Our platforms offer a holistic approach to our clients with the goal of reaching he market quickly. Our platforms consider all aspects of manufacturing while developing the process such as IP, regulation, scalability and robustness.

Our platforms at a glance

ProteinMax  Platform for protein production. VaccineMax  Platform for vaccine production. GlycoShift  Platform for glycoengineering. NutriBalance  Platform for media development.

ProteinMax-

platform for protein production

Protein production with CHO cells

We have a large platform for rapid production of target proteins on a large scale with the desired quality. The protein platform is a combination of multiple other platforms.

The protein platform consists of the following subplatforms:

1. Cell line generation platform consisting of vector, host line and the clone selection process.
2. Culture media platform consisting of the single cell cloning medium, the basal medium and the feed media.
3. Our GlycoShift platform consisting of nutrient cocktails for altering the glycosylation.
4. The bioreactor platform made up of scaled down models of larger bioreactors for fed-batch processes including cell harvesting.

Cell line generation

The platform consists of our proprietary expression vector, the CHO DG44 host cell line and a clone selection process.

We offer cell line generation to our clients as a service. Multiple cell lines are generated as long as all of them are expressing biosimilarities. Our focus in cell line generation is the biosimilarity. Therefore we use our platform known as GlycoShift during the cell line generation.

VaccineMax-

platform for vaccine production

We have multiple platforms for producing any vaccine rapidly with high reproducibility and scalability.

Our platforms have been proven in the production of vaccines against Covid -19, foot and mouth diseases, rabies, AAV as well as LV and AV.

GlycoShift-


platform for glycoengineering

GlycoShift



We have identified cellular nutrients that shift the secondary metabolism of cells in the desired direction. That is why we shift the glycolytic pathway of the cells in the wanted direction.

Without genetic interference

We shift protein galactosylation or mannosylation in the desired direction. We achieve this without genetic interference within the cells. There is no need to express exogenous glycosylation enzymes in the cells. Thus, without altering the master cell bank we can obtain the desired glycosylation profile.

First

in the world

Our specialised nutrient cocktails get formulated into novel cell culture media. We utilize these media to modify protein quality attributes.

These kinds of culture media are specifically designed to alter protein mannosylation or galacosylation.

NutriBalance


platform for media development

Quick, without compromises

Our modularly assembled platform enables us to be among the first to develop novel culture media. We utilize a toolbox taking into consideration the metabolism of the specified cell type, for which to develop our products. The resulting media can be produced in a record time while surpassing other alternatives on the market.

Balance, our core philosophy

Our in depth understanding of cellular metabolic pathways enable us to develop media recipes, that correspond to the metabolic needs of the particular cell type.

Our media recipes are not only optimised for cell growth but also optimised for an efficient metabolism.

In all of our media the cells generate more cellular energy and less metabolic waste products. Across all used cells the acidic waste is reduced enabling the pH in the bioreactor to remain constant. This benefit simplifies cell cultivation on a large scale.

Modular

quick and powerful.

All of our culture media are products of our NutriBalance platform.
NutriBalance is built modularly, thus media development is simplified. Most importantly media development for a novel cell line doesn´t take a lot of time for us anymore. We combine modules by taking the specific cell metabolism into account with an algorithm. This enables us to find the appropriate culture medium for the cell line in a record time.

Universal


more than animal cells

Our NutriBalance media platform is universally applicable to develop any novel culture medium. It is applicable for not only animal cells but also stem cells, bacteria as well as yeast.

We have also developed novel media for unusual cell lines like Vero suspension cells, MDCK suspensison cells and MRC-5 suspension cells.
