Increase of time to results through faster and higher growth resulting in a shorter time to reach detection threshold.
Alternative to animal peptones: analytical based recommendation of the more relevant yeast-based nutrient resulting in an efficient substitution.
DEDICATED OFFER FOR BIOPHARMA
Ideal for manufacture of a range of biopharma products, including antibodies, antibiotics, vaccines, vitamins, and ready-to-use media, when you use ProCel® – our high-performance fermentation nutrients specifically designed for the biopharma industry.
Biopharma Solutions from Fermentation
How we collaborate, we partner closely with our customers through:
• Co‑development - with joint R&D from concept through validation.
• Proof of concepts - generating validated performance data in our application labs.
• Quality alignment - managing critical parameters (such as endotoxins and nitrogen), ensuring batch‑to‑batch consistency, and formalizing quality agreements.
• A global network - with 7 manufacturing sites that secure supply resilience.
• Sustainability integration - embedded in every collaboration.
We welcome the opportunity to partner with you to leverage advanced technologies from the very inception of our innovation initiatives.
ILLUSTRATION OF PROOF-OF-CONCEPTS
Recombinant enzyme production optimization with yeast extract in P. pastoris
This experiment shows how yeast-based nutrients enriched protein production.
P. pastoris, grown in bioreactor, expressing Human Serum Albumin (HSA) on plasmid under control of the constitutive GAP promoter in chemically defined media with 8% of ProCel® 245 MG. The recombinant HSA yield increased 88% when the media is supplemented with a ProCel® 245 MG yeast extract.
Comparaison of biomass & recombinant protein production after 15h of growth
Results obtained for genetically modified Saccharomyces cerevisie strain producing GFP. The strain was grown in Micro Titer Plate at 28°C under agitation with 10 g/L Soy Peptone or Yeast Peptone 3 - in a culture media derived from CP broth. Better performance are observed with the yeast peptone.
Animal-free alternative to casein peptone for TSA formulations
Yeast peptone products can serve as an animal-free alternative to casein peptones in standard TSA formulations, while maintaining equivalent microbial performance compared to commercial TSA used as the reference control.
B.subtilis - ATCC 6633
Sauries - ATCC 6538
C.albicans - ATCC 10231
We adapt the quality and compliance alignment with end application market, fueled by market insights , and of course customer specificities.
