Cell Culture Media Development for Antibody Drug Manufacturing

40% Improvement in Antibody Production

Using CellTune, our culture optimization software powered by Epistra Accelerate, we improved the feed media composition for antibody production. As a result of the optimization, we discovered a media composition that increased antibody production by approximately 40% compared to the pre-optimization composition.

Novel Assay System Construction

46% Improvement in Detection Sensitivity

44% Reduction in R&D Period

We optimized conditions for a novel assay for drug screening. Human researchers and Epistra Accelerate independently conducted the optimization and compared results. The conditions discovered by Epistra Accelerate improved pre-optimization sensitivity by 46% and exceeded human-discovered conditions by 12%. While human researchers took 4.5 months, Epistra Accelerate completed the exploration in 2.5 months, achieving a 44% reduction in R&D time.

Improving Cell Preservation Reagent Performance

133% Improvement in Yield

40% Improvement in Functionality

Robust Against Temperature/Concentration Changes

We developed a higher-performance cell preservation reagent for the commercialization of cell-based therapeutics. Through optimization, we identified a reagent composition that improved yield by 133% and cell functionality by 40% compared to commercially available products. The identified composition is also robust against temperature and concentration variations, while avoiding third-party intellectual property.

Culture Media Cost Reduction

70% Cost Reduction

Culture media costs for pharmaceutical manufacturing are high. We undertook an initiative to minimize media costs while maintaining comparable performance to improve profitability. Through optimization, we achieved a 70% reduction in total media costs, with projected ongoing savings of over 400 million yen per year.

Animal Origin-Free (AOF) Medium Development

Significant Yield Improvement

Achieved AOF

We optimized the media composition for the client's mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) using Epistra Accelerate. After 4 months of condition screening, we discovered a media composition with superior proliferative capacity and significantly reduced raw material costs. All media developed in this project are animal origin-free (AOF), containing no animal or human-derived factors.
