RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT
We have developed and commercialized innovative products through cutting edge research for over four decades.
Our team of engineers and scientists have taken up pioneering work. While our scientists are tasked with new product development, our team of industrial scientists use applied research in scientific or technological fields. All in a bid to facilitate future product development.
In our continued efforts to deliver affordable medicines with improved efficacy and minimal side effects, the use of deep science has led us to a paradigm shift in the pharmaceutical market.
EQUINE BIOLOGICALS
The equine biologicals team has scientists from various biological disciplines with extensive knowledge on purification of biological products. This team is the necessary link between the research lab and commercial scale production. The team works largely on two classes of equine products: Anti-toxins (such as Anti Snake Venom Serum) and Immunoglobulins (such as Antithymocyte Globulin).
CAPABILITIES
Our strengths reside largely around the purification of antigens and the design of immunization procedures for efficient antibody development. The team’s capabilities are in:
- Purification & characterization of antigens for immunization
- Cryopreservation
- Designing Mixtures and Immunisation Regimens for maximum antibody titre development
- Purification of immunoglobulins from crude plasma with high specific activity
- Standardisation and validation of analytical methods and alternates to the use of animals
- Development of Cell based assay systems
- Development of stable, high yielding, virus inactivated, highly purified manufacturing processes.
- Development of stable formulations for delivery as liquid and lyophilized preparations.
- Preclinical development studies
- Clinical Studies
INFRASTRUCTURE
The Equine Biologicals department is well equipped with specialized equipments and analytical infrastructure such as:
- Flow Cytometers
- Cell Viability Aanalyser
- Cell Counter
- Dialysers
- Fluorescent Microscope
- CO2 Incubators
- Auto Analyser
- Liquid Nitrogen Systems
- Stability & humidity Chambers
