InVitria Optimizes Hybridoma Cell Culture With New Product Zap-Hybridoma

For diagnostic and monoclonal antibody production, Zap-Hybridoma improves target antibody purity and hybridoma productivity



zap-hybridoma
Fort Collins, CO March 2, 2010 -InVitria's launch of Zap-Hybridoma provides a powerful solution for hybridoma cell culture. Zap-Hybridoma was created to improve monoclonal antibody productivity and deliver easier purification of the target product.

Zap-Hybridoma was developed by InVitria's Cell Culture Development team as an answer to many of the challenges facing scientists working with hybridoma cell culture. "Not only can Zap-Hybridoma increase productivity, it delivers consistent results and allows hybridoma cells to more quickly adapt away from FBS (fetal bovine serum)," said Dr. Steve Pettit, InVitria's Director of Cell Culture Development. "We tested Zap-Hybridoma in six of the leading commercial hybridoma media on the market today and observed faster cell growth, a 50% average increase in maximum cell density and increased monoclonal antibody yield when compared to the recommended use of the manufacturer."

"Zap-Hybridoma is an innovation InVitria is proud to bring to its customers so they can achieve better performance more consistently," said Scott Deeter, InVitria President and CEO. We developed Zap-Hybridoma to give users an IgG free alternative to FBS without sacrificing performance."

    Cell Culture Media supplement Blog Strategies for Improving Viral Yield in Vaccine Manufacturing

    A recent article in Pharma Times titled "US biopharma: nearly 300 vaccines in R&D," points out that there are currently 300 vaccines either in clinical studies or under review by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). While not all vaccines are cell culture derived vaccines, it does indicate that a large number of cell culture based viral vaccines are in the pipeline and that perhaps viral vaccine manufacturing should be examined. One area under consideration is how to improve viral yield so that vaccines can be made at lower cost ... Read More
