Event Overview:
Chemical lysis has become the preferred harvest method in viral gene therapy manufacturing due to scalability and consistency, yet new challenges have emerged that current cell lysis reagents fail to address. Namely, Triton X-100 is listed as a substance of very high concern by the European Chemicals Agency. There are also issues with reagent volume usage, high viscosity, and foaming, and inadequate protection of the viral vector from damage during processing.
This webinar will offer research illustrating key performance benefits of a novel biodegradable cell lysis solution when paired with a quality endonuclease. This solution shows improved protection of particles during agitation, as well as flexible process development with a ready-to-use formula that reduces foaming and viscosity and allows for room temperature storage and shipping.
