Media Formulation for Biopharma

Guide

Efficient Methods and Procedures

The Biopharma Media Formulation Guide presents an overview of common pain points and sources of error in the culture media development process, as well as strategies and solutions for ensuring fast, accurate and well-documented formulation. Thanks to these strategies, you can benefit from the following:

  • Accuracy and consistency in media formulation
  • Optimized cell growth conditions for biopharma production
  • Increased productivity
  • Reduced waste
  • Easier compliance compatibility and smoother audits
  • Enhanced profitability

Learn more about the challenges of producing accurate culture media formulas for use in the biopharmaceutical industry and find out how you can tackle them to save time, money and effort in the process.

Biopharmaceutical companies today face the challenge of developing highly productive cell lines as quickly as possible. The development of suitable growth media optimize cell growth and thus also the yield of the generated product.

Cell culture media can have significant impacts on cell growth and viability, and can also affect protein production and quality. The development of optimal culture media formulations is therefore a pivotal and frequent task in biopharmaceutical development laboratories.

A range of innovative weighing solutions from METTLER TOLEDO helps to make such development processes as efficient as possible. Intelligent user guidance and integrated software guide the user through the process and capture all relevant data. Connecting the instrument to a printer, PC or network automates data acquisition, data transfer / management and reporting. This saves a lot of time, avoids transcription errors, and ensures traceability and regulatory compliance. Such efficient methods and processes in culture media development help scientists to ensure quick, safe and reproducible bioproduction of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).

 

Do you need support choosing the right device for your media formulation application?

We can help you select the right balance for your specific needs by matching a device’s performance and characteristics to your process requirements. GWP® Recommendation is free of charge, tailored to your needs, and easy to apply. It provides the security you need before making a purchase decision.

GWP Recommendation considers the following key factors:

  • Maximum weight: The maximum load you weigh (including the tare container)
  • Smallest net weight: The smallest load you weigh (excluding the tare container)
  • Weighing tolerance: The acceptable weighing error, specified as ± percentage
  • Safety factor: Considers external influences such as vibrations, drafts, operators, etc.
