Modernizing cell culture processes for the next wave of genomic medicine

Pharmaceutical Technology

The field of genomic medicine has reached a true turning point. For each production process, you have to generate the plasmids in huge quantities with GMP quality and then do a transient transfection, meaning you mix them with a transfection reagent and add that to the cells in a very controlled way,” explains Faust.

Optimising AAV capsid purification through improved analytics

Drug Discovery World

Methods such as ELISA/qPCR offer well-established, sensitive, and specific analyses that can measure capsid titre versus genome titre, quantifying empty and full capsids 3. This approach, however, can be time-consuming, laborious, and require expensive reagents, including serotype-specific antibodies.
