JSR Life Sciences, LLC, a group company of JSR Corporation, announced that its lead product, Amsphere™ A3 has been incorporated for the first time into the commercial manufacturing of an FDA-approved treatment.
Amsphere™ A3 is a next generation Protein-A chromatography resin that enables advanced protein separation in downstream processing of therapeutic antibodies. Since its launch in January 2016, the product has seen rapid adoption as an alternative option for downstream purification in biologics processing.
“The support provided by our global applications teams really helped make this happen,” said Hideaki Nomura, general manager of JSR Life Sciences’ Bioprocess Division. “Despite international supply chain disruptions affecting most global companies, we are in a position not only to maintain our commitments, but to expand our bioprocess purification materials to support more biologics companies in their pursuit of promising treatments for patients.”
The company is currently expanding on all fronts to facilitate increased manufacturing of biologics. Along with its first commercial launch, Amsphere™ A3 is currently being used in more than 95 clinical programs worldwide.
