Gdansk, Poland: – Specialist bacteriophage CRO Phage Consultants (PC) is making its debut appearance at one of South East Asia’s leading laboratory technology events, the analytica Vietnam trade show in Ho Chi Minh City.

PC will use this influential expo to promote its world-class services in phage and prophage testing of microbiome strains and cell banks.

Contamination prevention and troubleshooting

The Phage Consultants CEO Dr Marcin Los will present its range of lab services that apply its advanced bacteriophage expertise to preventing contamination in biological processes at the event.

Dr. Los commented: “We have an established relationship with analytical events, having attended them in Munich and we are excited to be travelling to this South East Asia extension of the franchise.”

“The show will be great opportunity to advertise our contract research and manufacturing services, especially in phage and prophage testing for microbiome cell banks, phage research, and phage manufacturing.

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.
