Repligen Launches the CTech™ SoloVPE™ PLUS System
Repligen Corporation (NASDAQ:RGEN), a prominent name in the life sciences sector, has unveiled its latest innovation, the CTech™ SoloVPE™ PLUS System. This cutting-edge system represents a major leap in UV-based Variable Pathlength Technology, specifically tailored for biopharmaceutical manufacturers. It is designed to provide exceptional accuracy, rapid processing, and user-friendly operation in at-line ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) concentration measurements, seamlessly integrating into complex biological manufacturing workflows from process development to cGMP production.
Meeting the Needs of Modern Bioprocessing
The bioprocess industry is experiencing a notable shift towards concentrated drug formulations. This evolution aims to boost efficiency and drive down production costs. In response to this growing need, the SoloVPE PLUS System employs variable pathlength spectroscopy, facilitating precise concentration measurements in under 30 seconds. This is achieved without requiring dilution or background correction, which is a significant advancement in analytical technology.
Key Features of the SoloVPE PLUS System
This newly launched technology significantly complements Repligen’s existing portfolio of process analytics tools. The SoloVPE PLUS System enhances the company’s capabilities at the line, working alongside its FlowVPX™ System and the integrated RPM™ (Real-time Process Management) TFF Systems. Key applications for the SoloVPE PLUS include measuring protein concentrations—particularly for antibody drugs—and quantifying nucleic acids and mRNA in innovative mRNA therapeutics.
Efficiency and Speed in Measurement
According to Olivier Loeillot, President and CEO, the SoloVPE PLUS System is a triumph of the development team. It advances speed, precision, and reproducibility in the measurement process, reflecting Repligen’s commitment to innovation in bioprocessing. Kola Otitoju, Senior VP and Global Head of Process Analytics, echoed this sentiment, highlighting that the system is a testament to Repligen's dedication to continual innovation that aligns with customer needs.
Advantages of the SoloVPE PLUS System
The SoloVPE PLUS System offers several distinct advantages compared to existing UV-Vis spectroscopy solutions:
- Streamlined Workflow: The SoloVPE PLUS reduces operational steps by 70%, from seven to just two, simplifying the measurement process.
- Accelerated Acquisition Speed: It doubles data collection speed, providing results in half the time when compared to the previous SoloVPE model.
- Enhanced Sensitivity and Reproducibility: The system accommodates a wide concentration range—from 0.01 mg/mL to 320 mg/mL without requiring dilution, ensuring an R² ? 0.999.
- Minimized Error-Prone Steps: Directly measuring samples negates the need for dilution or extra preparation, minimizing potential errors.
- Optimized Data Management: The integrated CTech™ ViPER™ ANLYTX Software employs SQL for efficient data storage and retrieval, alongside standardized communication protocols supporting agile bioprocessing operations.
