Micro-flow imaging enables cutting edge biopharmaceuticals research
10 Dec 2020Protein aggregation and the formation of subvisible particles can significantly impact the safety and efficacy of biopharmaceuticals. Therefore, protein aggregation and subvisible particle content must be carefully monitored during in-process and final product development. ProteinSimple offers Micro-Flow Imaging™ (MFI), a powerful system to analyze protein aggregates and other subvisible particles in your samples.

Biopharmaceutical AdvancesBiopharmaceutical advances follow the development of pharmaceuticals derived from biotechnology, also known as biotechnology medicines. Biopharmaceuticals may be produced from cell lines, plants, or microbial cells. Important considerations of biopharmaceutical use include application, cost, production process and purification.BiopharmaceuticalsBiopharmaceuticals are proteins and other compounds (such as nucleic acids) produced by living organisms that have uses as therapeutics or for in vivo diagnostics. The most well known example of a biopharmaceutical product, and the first to be approved for therapeutic use, was recombinant human insulin.Protein BiologyThe analysis of protein expression, identity and function is vital for many areas of life science research and drug discovery. Some of the most commonly used techniques in protein analysis include Western blotting, electrophoresis and mass spectrometry.
