Purification processes constitute more than half of the development costs for a biosimilar. We present an alternative workflow using IEX and mixed mode resins as a viable and cost effective alternative to traditional methods for biosimilar purification.
Webinar Overview
The global biosimilars market is expected to reach US $10.9B by 2021. Although biosimilars are expected to be significantly cheaper than biologics due to their shorter development times and lower production costs, a further reduction in development costs is required for broader affordability. Purification processes constitute more than half of the development costs, particularly with the use of Protein A based media. Using an IEX workflow along with a mixed mode polish step is a viable and cost effective alternative to traditional methods for biosimilar purification.
