Phage Consultants to present bacteriophage detection technologies at DUPHAT 2021

Gdansk, Poland: – Bacteriophage technology specialist contract research organization Phage Consultants (PC) will next month make its debut appearance at the influential DUPHAT Middle East Pharmaceutical Industry conference in Dubai.

Phage Consultants will exhibit from Booth 4C20 at the Dubai World Trade Center (DWTC) as part of the Pomeranian Region of Poland display that showcases the various capabilities of the Baltic coast pharmaceutical and biotech cluster centered around the city of Gdansk.

Connecting with MENA markets

Phage Consultants CEO and founder, Dr. Marcin Los, will represent PC at the event.

Dr. Los commented:  “After almost a year of not being able to meet face-to-face with our existing and prospective clients, we are excited to be attending in person at DUPHAT, which will give us great opportunities to present our continuously expanding portfolio of offers face-to-face.”

“This is our first time at this influential conference that provides a superb platform for us to explore the biopharmaceutical markets of the MENA region covering the Middle East and Africa,” Dr. Los added.

DE3 Background Removal

PC’s display at DUPHAT will highlight a range of new offers, including analysis services and bacteriophage detection tests dedicated for phage detection in difficult bacterial strains, such as E.coli strains carrying the DE3 prophage.

This Cell Bank Testing service overcomes one of the major problems encountered in decontaminating cell banks: that presence of the DE3 prophage causing false positive results in virulent phage and prophage testing. Phage Consultants testing technology can remove the DE3-related background with high precision and ensure reliable testing of any bacterial strain, with or without the prophage.

About Phage Consultants

Phage Consultants is a contract research and manufacturing organization that specializes in bacteriophage detection, characterization and production.

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.

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.
