Croda’s multi-compendial cGMP amino acids offer ultra-low levels of metals and endotoxin that reduces any potential variation in performance, resulting in high quality and improved batch-to-batch consistency for a range of pharmaceutical applications. 

Role of amino acids in bioprocessing

  • Cell culture media: Amino acids are vital ingredients in cell culture media, providing nutrients for the proliferation and maintenance of mammalian, microbial, and insect cell lines.
  • Protein expression: Supplementing the right balance of amino acids enhances recombinant protein expression, ensuring proper folding and biological activity.
  • Metabolic regulation: Amino acids influence cell metabolism, affecting by-product formation, cell viability, and process robustness.
  • Product quality: The profile and concentration of amino acids can impact glycosylation patterns and other critical quality attributes of biopharmaceuticals
  • Downstream purification: Amino acids can offer milder alternatives in protein washing steps and viral inactivation, improved separation in polishing and enhanced protein solubilisation and refolding.
