Biologicals

Biologicals include a wide range of medicinal products such as vaccines, blood and blood components, allergenics, somatic cells, gene therapy, tissues, and recombinant therapeutic proteins and can be composed of sugars, proteins, or nucleic acids or complex combinations of these substances, or may be living entities such as cells and tissues. Biologics are isolated from a variety of natural sources - human, animal, or microorganism - and may be produced by biotechnology methods and other technologies such as gene-based and cellular.

The term "biologicals" is also used for a class of medications that are produced by means of biological processes involving recombinant DNA technology. Caliper Life Sciences offers a large selection of instrumentation platforms to automate Protein Expression Analysis, Design of Experments (DOE) studies, Quality by Design (QbD), and Process Analytical Technology (PAT) providing specific details on a biologicals critical core attributes (QCA), critical process parameters (CPP) to improve safety and efficacy.
