GE Analytical Instruments - Cleaning Validation: Verifying the Performance of a Validated Cleaning Process Using TOC

Under a global alliance with the Australian non-profit GC4K and Weill Cornell Medicine, PackGene aims to deliver a custom-tailored gene therapy solution for hereditary spastic paraplegia type 56, an exceptionally rare neurological disease.

In this episode, we explore BIOVECTRA’s capabilities in antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) manufacturing, from complex conjugation chemistry to synthesis of highly potent payloads. We’ll also showcase how BIOVECTRA’s extensive experience in complex chemistries and specialized small molecule manufacturing gives them a unique perspective, strengthening their approach to ADC production and ensuring clients receive custom solutions across all project stages.

The co-leaders of the financing were Novo Holdings and Bpifrance, with other investments from Invus, UI Investissement, Seroba Life Sciences, Fund+, Kurma Partners, Omnes Capital, and Turenne Capital.

Metabolic Flux Analysis (MFA) is a powerful technique used to characterize metabolic phenotype driving to improved productivity in biomanufacturing. MFA is most powerful when absolute concentrations of the metabolic intermediates are measured, but doing so in practice is often impractical due to inherent limitations of conventional absolute quantitation by mass spectral analysis. Recently, advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have been applied to solving the problem of broad, untargeted, absolute quantitation in liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). These new approaches extend readily to the determination of absolute concentrations of stable isotopically-labeled metabolic intermediates, offering a new tool for MFA. Dr Sam Yenne from Metalytics Inc., a company that specializes in the science of metabolic flux, has recently assessed and adopted Pyxis, a new tool for absolute quantitation of raw LC-MS data. Dr Yenne describes MFA, its utility in biopharmaceutical development, associated challenges and how Pyxis impacts those challenges.

There are several advantages to using a novel capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry (CE-MS) device. The REBEL from 908 Devices offers a streamlined and efficient alternative to traditional liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) for bioprocess monitoring. This paper highlights how this new technology can simplify media analysis, reduce method development time, and improve real-time data collection for biotherapeutic production.

This latest fast track designation marks the second such designation by FDA for J&J’s tau-directed investigational therapies for treating Alzheimer’s disease.
