Novo Nordisk Pharmatech showcasing human insulin-based production advances at ESACT Copenhagen

Koege, Denmark: – World-leading insulin specialist Novo Nordisk Pharmatech A/S will be a prominent presence at May’s European Society for Animal Cell Technology (ESACT) annual meeting in Copenhagen.

Novo Nordisk Pharmatech will take advantage of the event to highlight its recent breakthroughs in using recombinant animal-free (AF) human insulin to increase Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell density and ability to boost virus-like particle (VLP) production by using recombinant Insulin Human AF supplements.

AF insulin supplements

The Danish-based insulin leader will be an exhibitor at ESACT 2019, with a stand at Booths 17-20 at Copenhagen’s Bella Center.

It will also contribute to the scientific agenda with two posters.

The first will focus on ‘Increase viable Sf9 cell density and boost Baculovirus-based VLP production by supplementation with recombinant Insulin Human AF.’

The second will examine: ‘Comparative Study of CHO Cell Culture in Different Media with Insulin Supplementation’.
