Novo Nordisk Pharmatech brings advanced insights on recombinant insulin to BPI Europe, Amsterdam

Bagsvaerd, Denmark: – Novo Nordisk Pharmatech, will exhibit at Aprils’s high prestige BioProcess International summit in Amsterdam to show the power of its recombinant insulin to optimize cell density and viability in serum free growth media.

Insulin Sales Manager Magnus Franzmann and Product Manager Sara Goualdoni will lead the Novo Nordisk Pharmatech team at Booth 108 at Amsterdam’s RAI Center.

They will be showcasing the company’s new recombinant insulin as a key component in innovative biologics and pharmaceutical grade Quaternary ammonium compounds.

CHO cell study

The innovative Danish CMO, which is one of the world’s leading suppliers of recombinant insulin in cell culture media powering biopharma blockbuster drugs worldwide, will also post a study, Increase viable CHO cell density by supplementation with recombinant Insulin Human AF.

The main objective of the study was to investigate the effect of insulin as a supplement to improve cell culture media growth and demonstrated that insulin has a positive effect on the CHO cell lines.

cGMP MAbs and vaccines manufacture

“This event gives us a great opportunity to reach out to biopharmaceutical companies working in cell line development. Our insulin can help them enhance and optimize their cell line media growth,” said Sara Goualdoni.

“Our new recombinant insulin can be used in cGMP manufacture of monoclonal antibodies, virus vaccines, gene therapy products and many other biological drug products approved by regulatory bodies worldwide, including FDA and EMA,” Ms. Goualdoni.
