    Gdansk, Poland: – Polish-based bacteriophage specialist CRO Phage Consultants (PC) has received a vote of confidence from ‘down under’ after helping biotech customer in Australia avoid accepting phage-contaminated strains to their facility.

    The Australian customer testimonial comes after extended PC involvement in regular tests of incoming strains, which greatly helped to improve safety of the processes involving bacterial production at its hi-tech facility. Phage Consultants are prevented by customer confidentiality from discussing details of the co-operation.

    Preventing phage problems

    “This recommendation shows that we are effective not only in combatting bacteriophage-related problems, but also in providing ongoing everyday prevention, through routine tests of incoming strains,” commented Phage Consultants CEO, Dr. Marcin Los.

    “We are also experts in testing very difficult bacterial strains like strict anaerobes, psychrophilic or thermophilic bacteria,” he added.

    Rescuing biotech facilities

    “This is a clear and reassuring message to other production facility managers of biopharma and industrial biotech, fermentation teams, fermentation managers, as well as quality assurance teams, that we are able to provide effective prevention of ‘phage problems,” said Dr. Los.

    At the upcoming Waterside Conference of the International Society for BioProcess Technology (ISBioTech) in Norfolk, Virginia, Dr. Los will speak extensively on strategies to prevent and reverse bacteriophage contamination and rescue affected biotech facilities.
