InVitria Achieves cGMP Qualification Milestone

InVitria announces Lysobac is now available as a cGMP grade cell lysis reagent.

Lysobac is a recombinant and animal component free lysozyme used to manufacture biotherapeutics when a gentle microbial lysing agent is required to maintain product quality and integrity.

Fort Collins, CO February 8, 2011 – InVitria announces that its Lysobac cell lysing reagent is now manufactured under cGMP (Current Good Manufacturing Practice) standards at the Company’s Junction City, Kansas facility. Lysobac is a completely animal component free reagent that is substantially more effective and consistent than hen egg white lysozyme and complies with global regulatory standards for manufacturing biotherapeutics.

“Achievement of this milestone demonstrates InVitria’s commitment to the high quality standards that our customers expect,” said Shawn Smith, Vice President of Sales & Marketing.  

“Customers routinely inspect our facility and operations as part of their normal purchasing and vendor qualification process. With the introduction of cGMP-grade Lysobac, we are raising the bar for the quality of reagents used in biomanufacturing,” said Greg Unruh, Vice President of Manufacturing.

InVitria’s Lysobac is used in the manufacture of several products derived from microbial fermentation such as E. coli. Lysobac is more than four times more effective than hen egg white lysozyme and because it is derived from recombinant production, it delivers consistent performance.
