Downstream Bioprocessing
Advances in upstream bioprocessing have created bottlenecks in downstream processing – particularly during chromatography purification. Other challenges in downstream processing include the labor intensive buffer preparation operations and the cleaning and validation of traditional equipment. Learn how Thermo Fisher Scientific provides solutions to drive efficiency throughout your downstream bioprocess.
We have developed multiple strategies for downstream buffer preparation and supply and we are integrating single-use technologies into downstream workflows to drive process simplification. To stay ahead of future downstream needs, we are focusing on novel purification platforms to address new molecules and therapies in your pipeline and process analytical testing to ensure removal of product- and process-related impurities, including host cell components and leached proteins.
