For more than 100 years, peptones have played a central role in the development of high-performance media and feeds spanning the diagnostic, bioproduction, and vaccine industries focused on both human and animal health. Peptone development expanded throughout the 20th century to meet the evolving needs of biological drugs such as monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), recombinant proteins, and vaccines. Since our peptones have a long-proven history of success, they are being used to develop new processes for future biopharmaceutical drugs. In today’s Knowledge Culture Basic Education Series on peptones, we will explain what a peptone is, why use peptones in your process, how to select ideal peptones, peptone release/analytical testing, and the application of Gibco peptones for biopharmaceutical production.
Learning Objectives
- What is a peptone?
