Bioconjugates

Bioconjugates Manufacturing

Bioconjugates represent a rising class of biopharmaceuticals in which at least one of the reactants is a biomolecule, often an antibody, protein, or oligonucleotide. The most famous example is the class of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs).

ADCs comprise an antibody that is joined by a chemical linker to a biologically active drug or a cytotoxic compound. The monoclonal antibodies that make up the antibody component of ADCs can be carefully designed to target specific cells, such as tumor cells.

Safe Handling of Antibody-Drug Conjugates (ADCs)

Any breakage of sample containers holding ADCs or their cytotoxic components could pose a serious threat to staff safety. Careful handling and reliable protection are required throughout the entire production and logistics process. Single Use Support’s RoSS® shell (a robust shell system for frozen storage and shipping), comprising an outer sleeve of robust stainless-steel and an adaptive inner layer of 3D foam, forms a closed system around single-use systems and can contribute to the safe transport and storage of high-value and potentially harmful substances.

Safe Filling & Aliquoting of Antibody Drug Conjugates (ADCs)

The safe handling of ADCs or other HPAPIs is a complex and elaborate process that requires specialized facilities and a safe, sterile environment. The filling/aliquoting step in particular calls for great care and specific equipment to ensure sterility and rule out any potential cross-contamination as well as potential harm to handling staff.
