Gdansk, Poland: – Specialist bacteriophage CRO Phage Consultants (PC) is returning to June’s landmark BIO International Convention, this time in San Diego, California. PC will use this high prestige biotech expo to showcase applications of its advanced bacteriophage expertise to contamination prevention in biological processes.

Phage Consultants will exhibit from exhibition stand at Booth 5844 at the San Diego Convention Center that will also highlight application of bacteriophage-based tools to production troubleshooting. PC has an unbroken relationship with the BIO Convention that stretches to its initial appearance in 2009. Once again, the Phage presence at the event will be led by its CEO, Dr. Marcin Los.

BIO track record

“We keep returning to this exciting event year after year because it keeps providing a superb platform from to connect with our peers and the audience of fermentation managers and biotech production teams for whom contamination prevention, control and troubleshooting are very much front of mind issues,” commented Dr. Los, who is an internationally acknowledged authority on the role of phages in microbiology.

“We will be using our stand, the many face-to-face networking opportunities and BIO ONE-on-ONE™ Partnering to explain more about our individually customized bacteriophage contamination and microbial detection packages that provide powerful tools to keep biotech fermentation processes on track,” he added.

About Phage Consultants

Phage Consultants is a contract research and manufacturing organization that specializes in bacteriophage detection, characterization and production, but also prevention and eradication from laboratories and production facilities.

Bacteriophages (phages) are viruses that infect bacteria. First discovered around 1915, phages played an important role in understanding viral biology, for example in elucidating viral reproduction in lytic and lysogenic cycles. They have been used for almost a century as alternatives to antibiotics and can have therapeutic effect against multi-drug-resistant strains of many bacteria. In biotechnology, their activity can be devastating when bacterial cultures get infected. They can cause long-lasting recurrent infections which prevent successful production and in the past some facilities have been forced to close down due to their activities.

Founded in Gdansk, Poland, in 2007, PC has become a world leader in using the power of bacteriophage technology in bioprocess infection and contamination control and assisting companies whose production is based on microbial activities in preventing bacteriophage contamination, along with bacterial, fungal and viral contaminations.

Phage Consultants is also a team specialist in the field of bacteriophage biology with specific expertise in phage activity in bioprocesses. The team provides unique assistance to pharmaceutical and biotech companies, offering a range of services from personal training to consulting and process optimization in phage growth limitation. The company also advises and assists clients in the development of new production facilities.
