Find Simplicity in Stability
Streamline Your CHO Genetic Stability Testing with the Aptegra™ Platform
Aptegra™ CHO Genetic Stability Assay
Streamline Your Genetic Stability Testing with the NGS-based Aptegra™ Platform
The genetic stability testing package for biopharmaceutical cell banks has remained relatively unchanged for decades. This traditional approach to genetic stability testing relies on a complex set of assays to meet ICH Q5B requirements, many of which have limitations in discovery power and sensitivity and require long timelines for completion.
The proprietary Aptegra™ platform delivers the first streamlined, single-test replacement of traditional methods with the Aptegra™ CHO genetic stability assay delivering results in a third of the time. This assay taps into the combined power of whole genome sequencing (WGS) and expert bioinformatics to deliver a faster, all-in-one solution for a comprehensive testing package, including:
- Gene of interest (GOI) sequence analysis
- Copy number determination
- Sequence analysis of flanking regions
- Integration site determination
- Analysis of insertions or deletions
The Aptegra™ CHO genetic stability assay operates under a GMP-validated workflow to return expert-reviewed results in 30 days using less of your precious cell bank.
Stability testing should be simple, by tapping into the whole genome, it can be. The Aptegra™ CHO genetic stability assay:
- Replaces Southern, Sanger sequencing, PCR, and FISH with a single technology
- Utilizes expert bioinformatics to address all genetic stability regulatory requirements
- Eliminates primer bias, design time, and assay optimization
- Eradicates any guesswork in data interpretation
- Reduces upfront client time with off-the-shelf ordering
- Consistently delivers fast, reliable results
