A Collaborative Study for Understanding Trace Element Variability in Custom Cell Culture Media

In this project, Thermo Fisher Scientific worked with a multinational biopharmaceutical company to investigate trace element variability in its custom cell culture media. Within a year, using a risk-based, collaborative approach, both teams were able to thoroughly characterize incoming specific raw materials and implement proactive measures for reducing the risk of impurities, ultimately providing the company with a long-term risk mitigation strategy.
