We take mAbs, cell and gene therapies, vaccines, viruses and microbial based systems from proof of concept to launch in record time across glassware, bioreactors and wavebags.
We have deep experience working with adherent cell lines and can develop game-changing microcarrier-based processes that drive productivity and offer better scale-up options compared to other options.
Our scientists collect information on up to 30 different metabolites, every 4 to 6 seconds, for every bioprocess we run and then combine this information with a model predictive control architecture that enables the bioreactor to optimize itself.
We believe that process understanding is the raw material from which medicines are made and our upstream process development team leverage the latest process and analytical tools to gather key information that informs best-in-class process design.
Our team of dedicated downstream experts can design, build and optimize filtration, chromatography and separations systems in record time, and take them into manufacturing seamlessly.
We evaluate every upstream process individually and design a separations system that makes sense, leveraging chromatography, TFF and hollow fiber TFF to deliver the highest product yields possible.
APC scientists have developed a next generation platform that combines CFD simulations with lab scale-down models that can troubleshoot problematic separation steps that are slowing the pace of development or putting supply at risk.
We built an advanced chromatography modeling platform that can outperform standalone DoE studies and makes the DoEs we do run smaller and smarter, speeding development and getting to the right chromatography answers faster.
We take processes from flatware to bioreactors and wave bags in less time than anyone else and our focus on process understanding leads to seemless tech transfers and right first time manufacturing introductions.
We use PAT tools such as Raman and mid-IR to understand the kinetic landscape of upstream processes, enabling us to design feeding and mixing regimes that outperform alternatives and scale-up perfectly.
Using CFD we run 1000s of virtual experiments before lab work commences, helping build better lab models and designing bioreactors faster than was previously thought possible.
By aggregating and analyzing 100s of datasets collected across development and manufacturing our teams take documentations reviews to a new level, solving manufacturing problems instantly and shortening development time by thoroughly leveraging existing data.
