Cell Line Services

The science of cell line development has become complex. Increasing production demands along with shorter development timelines require a breadth of investment in platforms, technologies, and personnel. Factors such as transfection efficiency, cell productivity, media conditions, and cell line stability must be incorporated into an overall program of cell line optimization. From myriad expression enhancers to high-throughput screening, the challenges of optimization continue to mount. Additionally, intellectual property, technology harmonization, and final product quality are other considerations that complicate the process.
