Advancing Cell Culture Media Quality: A Fingerprinting Approach for Comprehensive Media Identity Testing



WEBINAR

Consistency of cell culture media (CCM) is vital for reliable therapeutic protein production, as media variability can adversely affect cell growth and drug quality. Comprehensive media identity is key to ensuring lot-to-lot comparability. However, current quality control methods often leave many media components unverified, introducing risks into the manufacturing process. This webinar presents a CCM fingerprinting approach for comprehensive media characterization.  It is optimized to quantify as many components as possible, ensuring proper identity testing prior to release, significantly increase cell growth, and quickly troubleshoot media performance issues.

In this webinar, you will learn:

  • Why current CCM identity tests are incomplete for media release
  • How a single analytical method detects ~75% of media components
  • How media component coverage of ~90% can be achieved, ensuring comprehensive identification of critical media components
  • Real-world use cases showing application of the method to significantly improve cell culture media performance
