characterization of biopharmaceuticals The analysis of biopharmaceuticals such as recombinant proteins and glycoproteins, monoclonal antibodies or nucleic acid-based drugs, requires a different skill set than that for small chemical entities. Many of the analytical techniques such as LC/MS/MS and capillary electrophoresis or quantitative PCR have emerged from an R&D-type setting into routine use for product characterization. Nevertheless, the same demanding quality standards apply for the quality control of biologicals as for small molecule drugs. With the recent acquisition of M-Scan in November 2010, SGS enhances its service portfolio for the characterization of biologics with GLP/GMP contract analytical services, consultancy and training based on high-end mass spectrometry, chromatography and physicochemical analyses.

cell LiNe characterization SGS uses a variety of nucleic acid and protein-based technologies to characterize the identity of cell lines and assess the structure of the expression construct. According to ICH guideline Q5B, the characterization of the expression construct is important to ensure the consistent production of a recombinant DNA-derived product. The analysis should establish that the correct coding sequence of the product is incorporated into the host cell and is maintained during culture to the end of production. test MetHoDS Gene and plasmid copy number assay Flow cytometric analysis (FACS Canto II) Histocompatibility antigens Southern blotting DNA fingerprinting DNA sequencing SaFety testing Adventitious virus assay (ICH Q5A) Specific virus/bacteria detection by qpcr Virus titration by plaque assay Haemaglutination / haemadsoption assay Mycoplasma testing according to Eur.

HOST CELL IMPURITY TESTING SGS provides you with sufficiently sensitive test methods to detect host cell impurities. Additionally, SGS has the capabilities to develop specific host cell protein assays for your expression cell line. Host cell proteins (HCPs) comprise the major protein contaminants associated with biopharmaceuticals derived by recombinant DNA technology. Protein recovery processes are required to minimize the content of HCPs in the final product. Host cell proteins are often immunogenic and can alter the therapeutic efficacy of a drug or can affect patient safety. Host cell DNA levels are another cellular contaminant present in biopharmaceuticals. The WHO, the EU and the FDA have set specific levels of residual host cell DNA that are acceptable in biopharmaceutical products. SGS has the expertise to develop and validate specific methods for specific product or purpose. SERVICES INCLUDE : HOST CELL PROTEIN ASSAYS ELISA ILA (Immunoligand Assay) SDS-PAGE Immunoblotting HCP assay (kit-based) Flow cytometric analysis HOST CELL DNA ASSAYS Quantitative PCR Flourescence assays (OliGreen and PicoGreen ) ANALYSIS OF CELL CULTURE - DERIVED IMPURITIES Albumin Nutrients

biologics SaFety testing SGS s Biologics Safety Testing detects contamination of cell cultures, virus stocks and final products, with a view to assisting quality control measures in the development of biopharmaceutical products. The threat of contamination of cell cultures by adventitious agents such as, endotoxin, viruses, and mycoplasma, should not be underestimated. For instance, endotoxins, which when present in a final product, can induce an inflammatory response in patients. Viral contamination can lead to unreliable experiments in biomedical and biotechnological research and bring about significant productivity losses in biological manufacturing. Finally, mycoplasma can alter virtually every cellular process, including hybridoma selection rates, protein and nucleic acid synthesis, and immunogenicity and chromosomal damage. Our services therefore test for a range of contaminants at any stage of drug development and production. endotoxin test MetHoDS LAL gel clot assay LAL photometric assay LAL colorimetric assay virus testing EP 2.6.16 and 5.2.3 and ICH Q5A In vitro adventitious virus assays by CPE, haemadsorption, and haemaglutination assay Virus titration by plaque assay Customer-specific method development tests For MycoPLaSMa DetectioN Cell culture method (21 CFR 610.30 and EP 2.6.7) Indicator cell Fluorochrome staining Validated PCR based method with preenrichment or direct detection SaMPLe MateriaLS Biopharmaceutical samples, including: raw materials, intermediate products, API, bulk drugs, and finished products Working and master cell banks Culture media Conducted by our network of international experts, whose skills and knowledge are second to none, our biopharma safety testing methods are complaint with FDA, USP, EP and ICH guidelines, and also help you to ensure that your biopharmaceutical products meet other international and local regulatory requirements.
