BD Biosciences – Advanced Bioprocessing is pleased to announce the opening of its stand alone, dedicated, "Animal-Free / Antibiotic-Free" AF2™ Facility for the cGMP production of cell culture media and supplements by the end of 2009.
The AF2 Facility will deliver a new standard for safety and quality for cell culture media that significantly reduces current risks associated with mixed-use plants. Products manufactured in the new plant will be controlled for animal-origin component raw materials to the tertiary level, the most stringent level of control available.
Custom blends of basal cell culture media and supplements are available currently via the BD Autonutrient Media Design Service and its Custom Product Development Program. However, a new Pilot Lab will be on-line and ready to produce cell culture media samples representative of commercial-scale AF2 Facility manufacturing by the end of 2008. The new Miami plant itself is expected to be open for customer auditing and qualification by October 2009.
With its new manufacturing capability, BD Biosciences – Advanced Bioprocessing will fully serve the culture media needs of bioprocessors working with mammalian, microbial or stem cell lines.
