Thermo Fisher Scientific Showcases Newest Bioprocessing Technologies at INTERPHEX

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)– INTERPHEX 2017 – Thermo Fisher Scientific, the world leader in
serving science, today announced it is featuring its latest
bioprocessing technologies at the International Pharmaceutical Expo
(INTERPHEX) at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, March 21-23, booth
3544. The company will feature complete workflows, including systems,
consumables, software and services, designed to help bioprocessing
manufacturers improve productivity and increase supply chain confidence.

“As biosimilars enter the market and competition increases for precision
medicine applications, our customers are looking for a new competitive
edge,” said Cory Stevenson, president of bioproduction at Thermo Fisher
Scientific. “Our superior products, supported by our open architecture
and services expertise, uniquely position Thermo Fisher to help
customers accelerate innovation and increase productivity.”

Designed for Process-specific Workflows

From single-use technologies and high-quality media to purification and
analytics, Thermo Fisher enables manufacturers to adopt end-to-end
workflows fit for specific processes. Among the newest innovations
featured at INTERPHEX are the Gibco
GlycanTune Total feeds, a feeding supplement engineered to
deliver consistent protein quality by dialing-in a specific glycan
profile.

New to INTERPHEX is the Applied
Biosystems GlycanAssure Glycan Analysis and Quantitation System,
which helps save labor, time and analysis cost by combining simplified
sample preparation, multi-capillary electrophoresis instrumentation and
assay-specific software. The integrated platform is designed for high
throughput and high data quality.

Also featured at INTERPHEX is the Thermo
Scientific Acclimate Single-use freeze/thaw shipping system, a
single-use BioProcess Container (BPC) and shell combination suitable for
freezing, thawing and shipping of bio-pharmaceutical fluids, and Thermo
Scientific POROS CaptureSelect AAV8 and AAV9 resins, which are
designed to increase product yields and purity, reduce cost of goods and
enable efficient purification in a single step.

Enhanced to Enable Increased Productivity

From upstream and downstream manufacturing to automation and quality
assurance, Thermo Fisher offers solutions working in unison to increase
capacity and reduce costs of goods. Among these productivity-enhancing
solutions is the Thermo
Scientific HyPerforma Single-use Bioreactor (S.U.B.), which has
been updated with an enhanced mixing system to offer a 5:1 turn-down
ratio. The system includes a patent-pending cross-flow sparging
technology, essential for optimized performance at smaller volume levels.

The Thermo
Scientific Harvestainer Microcarrier Separation System is a
unique single-use solution designed to separate microcarrier beads from
supernatant cells with yield recoveries reaching 87 percent, an
approximately 22 percent improvement over traditional stainless steel
systems.

Thermo Fisher is also previewing a new suite of Thermo Scientific
POROS HIC chromatography resins, which offer biomolecule
purification at a range of hydrophobicities, delivering superior
performance that is independent of flow rate.

Thermo Fisher recently
acquired Finesse Solutions, Inc., a leader in the development of
scalable control automation systems and software for bioproduction.
During INTERPHEX, the company is featuring several complementary Finesse
solutions, including the Finesse
SmartController, the most commonly used control system for the
HyPerforma S.U.B.

Enabling supply chain confidence

For storage and transport of critical drug substances, Thermo Fisher is
also showing its Thermo
Scientific Nalgene products. All bottles and carboys meet the
requirements specified in USP <788>, USP <85> and USP <661> in the case
of Certified Clean testing or exceed the requirements for our Certified
Platinum Clean products. These ranges enable customers to choose quality
storage options based on their specific particulate requirements.

Lastly, Thermo Fisher will showcase solutions and services for improving
supply chain visibility, security and performance. For cGMP-compliant
facilities and manufacturers with highly distributed warehousing
operations, the company offers chemical sourcing capabilities that help
ensure compliance, minimize total cost of material ownership and reduce
the risk of supply interruption.
