BioFactura develops and commercializes high-value biosimilars ie follow-on biologics or generic biopharmaceuticals, biodefense medical countermeasures, and client-selected novel drugs using the firm's patented StableFast Biomanufacturing Platform, a novel system rapidly to generate stable NS0 cell lines for biopharmaceutical manufacturing. Elements of this system include a chemically-defined, serum- and cholesterol-free production medium and pre-adapted parental cells, modular expression vectors that utilize a patented selection strategy, and a proprietary growth supplement that permits rapid generation and cloning of cell lines. This platform is simple to use, fast, and productive. A clonal production cell line can be developed and scaled up to yield over one gram of product in less than eight weeks.
