Monoclonal antibodies

Monoclonal antibody manufacturing faces many challenges, especially during clarification. High cell densities often lead to insufficient removal during centrifugation, clog filters and/or add steps that reduces yields and increase costs. Magnetic separation solves these problems by combining clarification and product capture in one streamlined step, replacing centrifugation, filtration, and affinity column-chromatography while boosting yields, throughput, and cost efficiency.

Learn how MAGic BeadsTM for antibody purification  can be used for 1-step cell clarification and capture of mAbs directly from crude cell broth – to replace centrifugation and depth filtration with a gentler and more efficient technology for improved yields and productivity.

Cell Therapy

Cell therapies, especially allogeneic hiPSC-based therapies, show promise for severe diseases due to self-renewal, differentiation, and ethical advantages. However, their complex manufacturing process present significant barriers that restrict patient access, including high costs and scale-up challenges as well as ensuring patient safety by removal of undifferentiated cells. Magnetic separation streamlines cell isolation, improving efficiency and scalability.

Learn how MAGic BeadsTM for cell therapy can be used for gentle and efficient isolation and purification of stem cells, viral vectors and cell therapy products for improved yields.
