Fast and Reproducible Host Cell Protein Detection with Simple Plex Assay on Ella

Host cell proteins (HCPs) are generated by the host organism during the production of recombinant therapeutic proteins or biologics and are a major component of process-related impurities. During purification, HCPs need to be monitored and reduced at every step. Residual HCPs that go undetected can decrease product efficacy, alter its quality and/or risk triggering an immunogenic reaction when the drug is administered to the patient.
