    Reimagine bioprocessing to accelerate speed to market

    Traditional bioprocessing lines can be challenging with outdated technology that can't keep up with new developments in higher-titer cell cultures and increased contaminants. We have a portfolio of solutions that can help your line run more efficiently and with excellent purity and higher yields.

  • graph showing decrease in cost of 16% when using 3M™ Harvest RC Chromatographic Clarifier and 3M™ Polisher ST
  • Compare a legacy process consisting of two stages of depth filters during cell harvesting and traditional resin-based AEX and CEX columns in downstream polishing chromatography to a process using 3M™ Harvest RC Chromatographic Clarifier and 3M™ Polisher ST. This model shows a 29% increased yield and a 16% decreased cost.

    Industry trends: Producing mAbs at a commercial scale

    • Biopharmaceutical products (biologics) are transforming the treatment of many diseases like cancer, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), Hepatitis C and Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and recombinant therapeutic proteins are the two largest biologics segments. Producing these molecules consistently at a commercial scale is both complex and costly.

      Frost & Sullivan has identified key trends driving biopharmaceutical companies to adopt a sandbox approach for development of next-generation biopharmaceutical manufacturing platforms. Read more in the webinar summary.
