Thermo Fisher Scientific unveils Efficient-Pro Medium (+) Insulin

Designed for Biopharma Manufacturers, Biotechnology Companies, and CDMOs focused on CHO-Based Therapeutics, efficient-Pro Medium (+) Insulin offers improved protein yield and optimized productivity for insulin-dependent CHO cell lines commonly used in monoclonal antibody and biosimilar production, while also simplifying the preparation process and logistics. Biopharma manufacturers, biotechnology companies, and contract development and manufacturing organizations (CDMOs) can benefit from the following:

• Industry leaders want higher protein titers - our solution offers up to 61% higher protein titers compared to other alternatives;
• High viable cell densities and robust growth, all without compromising product quality;
• Compatibility with a broad range of insulin-dependent CHO cell lines and increased flexibility through a variety of formats and packaging configurations;
• Dry format compatibility via Thermo Fisher’s Gibco Advanced Granulation Technology (AGT) dry media, enabling ease of use, rapid reconstitution and scalability and
• Animal origin–free (AOF) formulation that reduces process variability and eases regulatory complexity, helping customers achieve dependable results with greater peace of mind.

For protein therapeutic developers (e.g., mAb, bispecific, Fc-fusion proteins, etc.), Efficient-Pro Medium (+) Insulin simplifies process development by providing consistent, high-performance growth and production conditions with reduced variability.

“Our announcement represents a significant enhancement in bioprocessing technology,” said Sara Henneman, vice president and general manager of Thermo Fisher Scientific’s cell culture and cell therapy business. “By integrating our AGT format and ensuring an AOF formulation, we are addressing key industry challenges and providing our customers with a reliable, high-performance solution. Efficient-Pro Medium (+) Insulin underscores our dedication to innovation and our mission to support the development of groundbreaking therapies that improve patient outcomes worldwide.”

Efficient-Pro Medium (+) Insulin is designed to eliminate the need for manual insulin supplementation.

“With Efficient-Pro Medium (+) Insulin, we’re building on our commitment to remove barriers in bioproduction and help our customers achieve more,” said Andy Campbell, senior director of research and development at Thermo Fisher Scientific. “This latest innovation enables our customers to scale up rapidly, adapt to evolving project needs, and accelerate the delivery of life-changing therapies to patients. Efficient-Pro Medium (+) Insulin delivers on that promise by providing the tools and support needed to streamline processes, minimize risk and bring new treatments to market faster and more efficiently than ever before.”
