ideal for safety and GMP compliance, while requiring relatively small lab space and limited staff. The
company can tailor the production schedule to the real needs of its customers, thus avoiding over-production
at a project’s early stage, which may result in losses of product and money. ARETA R&D: Areta
International’s technology platform comprises in house developed methods for the generation and production
of monoclonal antibodies, the adaptation of all kind of cells to serum free media, etc.
Technology used
1
Technology platform comprises in-house developed methods for generation /production of MAbs, adaptation
of all kinds of cells to serum free media, development of rapid/efficient techniques for MAbs,rec proteins,cells
production in large quantities. The strategy regarding MAbs focuses on customized immunization
protocols,monitoring of the animal’s immune response to the antigen,proprietary fusion and screening
protocols finalized to obtain hybridomas secreting highly selective/specific MAbs. Regarding scale up
technology,the strategy is based on disposable high surface to volume ratio bioreactors, characterized by
high containment,ideal for safety and GMP compliancel. The combination of these skills enables the
production of cells and biomolecules in a very rapid/efficient/reliable way. These biomolecules/cells can be
delivered to the customer in bulk or as final products, (e.g. enzyme immunoassay kits, cell-based test,
infusion bags).
Partnering strategy / collaborations
Areta International is interested in cooperation with biotech/pharma companies on different levels :
-looking for new customers for both its divisions,
-co-development of biodrugs and participation in new research programs,
-Extra –EU companies that might need to establish a base for clinical trial supply in Europe.
