Kit Detects and Quantifies HCPs

Gyrolab CHO-HCP Kit 1 detects and quantifies host cell proteins from Chinese hamster ovary cells.

 

The Gyrolab CHO-HCP Kit 1 from Gyros detects and quantifies host cell proteins (HCP) from Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells used in bioprocessing of biotherapeutics.

The kit, which has been validated for use on the Gyrolab xP and xPlore workstations, is provided ready-to-use, eliminating the need for assay development. The automation capabilities of Gyrolab systems enable 96 data points to be generated in approximately one hour without manual intervention. The kit broadens the analytical range from typically two orders of magnitude to four, and therefore requires fewer dilutions and fewer reruns than alternative methods, the company reports.

Gyrolab CHO-HCP Kit 1 contains the reagents needed to produce 96 data points, including a specific Bioaffy CD that has been optimized for this HCP assay.

Equivalence test using two one-sided tests are widely used for demonstrating the comparability of treatment effects in different research fields. The method described in the manuscript aims to use simulations in Microsoft Excel to compute power for 2 one-sided tests for two groups with unequal variances.
