Cell culture media optimization and development
Cell culture media optimization and development

Cell culture media optimization and development is critical to achieving efficient and reproducible outcomes in upstream bioprocessing. Our cutting-edge technology and deep expertise is combined to help you maximize productivity and ensure consistent performance at scale.

Accelerated media development
Accelerated media development

Using our DOE methodology, we accelerate the development process by testing multiple variables simultaneously. This approach provides data-driven insights to help shorten development timelines, reduce variability across experiments, and scale formulations from lab to production environments.

Support across various systems
Support across various systems

Finally, we support cell culture media optimization and development across various systems, including CHO Cells, HEK Cells, and Yeast and Microbial Systems.

 
Customized media optimization
Customized media optimization

We work with you to design, test, and refine media formulations tailored to your cell lines and production goals. Using our cloud-connected bioreactors, we can evaluate nutrient profiles to enhance growth and protect yields, test feed strategies to maintain cell health in high-density cultures, and identify and optimize critical media components to improve performance.

Real-time monitoring
