As companies in pharma continue to grow, the way in which they operate and manage their sites
needs to adapt with increasing demands – how can a business process management system be
useful in facilitating these adaptations?
Biotechnologische Produktion ist unsere DNA
CORONA WAR EIN BOOSTER FÜR DIE BIOTECHNOLOGIE-BRANCHE.
Die Richter-Helm Biologics GmbH & Co. KG aus Hamburg ist seit über 30 Jahren ein Lohnhersteller für biopharmazeutische Produkte. Mit großer Expertise im Bereich der DNA-Impfstoffe war das Unternehmen während der Pandemie für große US Entwicklungsunternehmen ein wichtiger Produktionspartner.
Mit neuen Produktionsanlagen will das Unternehmen jetzt seine Kapazitäten für die kommenden Jahre weiter ausbauen.
A guide to the analysis of plasmid DNA
Plasmids are circular, double-stranded DNA molecules of various sizes originally found in bacteria, archaea and eukaryotic yeast. They replicate independently of chromosomal DNA and are easily genetically modified. Plasmids can be used for a variety of pharmaceutical purposes: as the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in DNA vaccines to prevent viral infections or cancer development; as critical raw material, starting material or ancillary material for viral vector production; or as template for mRNA-based products.
Delivering flexible and transparent manufacturing processes
Developing and manufacturing microbial-derived biopharmaceutical products require deep expertise and reliable solutions that can guide a project to success while meeting evolving industry standards. To this end, pharmaceutical companies need expert partners capable of bringing promising cures to the market on time, regardless of scale.
