Biologic Drug Analytics
Biopharmaceutical Process Development Services
ProtaGene provides biopharmaceutical process development services with phase-appropriate qualification and validation strategies across product and process development. We support teams in understanding product quality, assessing change impact, and progressing biologics process development and biologics drug product development. In practice, development spans the upstream process and downstream process development and expands as programs move from early drug development into clinical and commercial stages. We align studies and documentation to your phase and project requirements.
Biopharmaceutical Process Development: What We Support
We support biopharmaceutical process development with analytical development and phase-appropriate qualification and validation strategies. Our process development services help connect process parameters to product quality across the manufacturing process—from upstream process development through downstream process development, including work on drug substance and drug products.
Technology Transfer
During technology transfer, the key challenge is keeping data comparable as the manufacturing process changes in scale, equipment, or site. ProtaGene supports technology transfer with analytical development strategies that maintain continuity and reduce uncertainty—so that process parameters, product quality, and comparability data remain reliable as programs move toward later clinical and commercial stages.
-
Analytical continuity planning across phases and sites
-
Comparability strategies to support tech transfer decisions
-
Support for identifying process parameters to monitor during scale up activities
-
Documentation support aligned with internal governance and quality expectations
-
Phase-appropriate, cost effective analytical plans to support development timelines
Upstream & Downstream Process Development
Process development is rarely one decision – it’s a chain of process steps where upstream and downstream choices influence each other. Analytical support helps you interpret whether shifts in process parameters are driving meaningful changes in product quality, or whether differences are within expected variability. This is especially useful during developing and optimizing cycles, when teams need data that stays interpretable across multiple steps of the manufacturing process.
-
Phase-appropriate analytics supporting upstream process development and downstream process development
-
Analytical readouts to track trends and variability across process steps
-
Impurity and residual assessment support where applicable
-
Data packages to support development decisions for drug substance and intermediate materials
-
Fit-for-purpose study planning designed to be practical and cost effective
Biologics Drug Product Development: Formulation & Stability
Formulation and product understanding dictate drug product stability, which is essential for product efficacy and patient safety. Analysis of the stability, especially under accelerated and stress storage conditions, across different formulations by high resolution methods supports the selection of the correct formulation. In addition, ProtaGene supports the execution of long-term stability studies, stress studies, and forced degradation studies to build comprehensive stability profiles across development and manufacturing stages.
-
(Pre-)formulation support for formulation screening and selection
-
Analytics for stability studies and stress studies under accelerated and stress storage conditions
-
Forced degradation studies to explore degradation pathways and risk drivers
-
High resolution methods to support formulation decisions and change assessment
-
Data to support drug product process development decisions across phases
Process Characterization & Comparability
Process characterization focuses on learning what truly drives outcomes in your process not just what changed. Linking clinical results from process A to the properties of process B is the key to meaningful comparability. ProtaGene supports comparability programs with release panel testing, extended characterization, and stability studies, connecting process parameters and process steps to product quality across the manufacturing process during biopharmaceutical process development.
-
Process characterization studies supported by analytical testing across process steps
-
Comparability testing with release panel, extended characterization, and stability studies
-
Support for interpreting differences and trends in drug substance and drug products
-
Impurity/residual assessment support (including clearance-related questions where applicable)
-
Documentation and data packages aligned with project and regulatory needs
