The animal origin-free (AOF) trend in bioprocessing has taken a while to reach microbial bioproduction. In this podcast, we explore the reasons behind this and delve into how AOF products are impacting the future of biopharmaceutical manufacturing. We also discuss the first chemically defined microbial medium—the Gibco™ Bacto™ CD Supreme Fermentation Production Medium (FPM). Hydrolysate-free and AOF, this dry powder medium was specially designed to support high-cell-density cultures of E. Coli. Listen to bioprocessing experts and discover more.
The PharmTech team focused on its coverage of AAPS PharmSci 360 this week, conducting interviews with experts on a range of topics including formulation platforms, AI, amorphous solid dispersions, and animal studies.
Nitin Kumar Swarnakar, PhD, global application lab manager at BASF, talks about spray drying for drying amorphous solid dispersions and Raman spectroscopy’s role as a quantitative analytical tool.
Aleksandra Zuraw, senior veterinary pathologist at Charles River, discusses how chain of custody, good laboratory practice, quality control, and validation are applied to digital pathology data used in drug development.
