Phage Consultants to Exhibit Expertise in Phage and Prophage Detection at BIO International 2025

Gdansk, Poland: – Specialist bacteriophage CRO Phage Consultants (PC) will again be an exhibitor at the premier biotechnology event, the BIO International Convention, this time in Boston, USA.

Phage will exhibit from exhibition stand at Booth 3380 at the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center to show its various areas of expertise in phage and prophage detection.

The Phage displays will also highlight applications of its advanced bacteriophage-based tools to contamination prevention in biotech facilities and production troubleshooting.

Extending relationships

PC has a continuous 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, along with Research and Technical Associate Mcs. Julia Gromelska.

Dr. Los commented: “Once again, BIO 2025 will provide us with excellent opportunities to keep in touch with old customers and to find new ones, as well as keep up to date with the latest trends and developments in the field of bacteriophage technology.”

“Once again, we will take advantage of 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 can make the difference in keeping 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. It also plays a leading role in preventing and eradicating contamination in laboratories and production facilities.

Bacteriophages (phages) are viruses that infect bacteria. First discovered around 1915, ‘phages played an important role in increasing scientists’ understanding of fundamental small molecule biology mechanisms, such as horizontal gene transfer.

Bacteriophages have different possible life cycles (lytic and lysogenic), along with various physical manifestations. 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.

However, in biotechnology, phage activity can be devastating in infecting bacterial cultures. This can cause long-lasting recurrent infections which prevent successful production and even force shutdown of whole facilities.

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.

The Phage Consultants team are specialists 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.
