Testimonials confirm Phage successes in combating contamination and boosting efficiency

Gdansk, Poland: – Testimonials from partners have confirmed successes by specialist CRO, Phage Consultants, in combating bacteriophage contamination in bio-manufacturing as well as enhancing fermentation efficiency.

Phage Consultants founder and CEO, Dr. Marcin Los, received the testimonials via his LinkedIn page.

Preventing contamination in E.coli-based production

One is from Dr. Laurent Bernier, Senior Vice-President for Compliance and Administration at BioAmber Inc. in the USA, who collaborated with Phage Consultants on a project based at Bazancourt in France to manufacture bio-based succinic acid using an E.coli production system.

“With the help of Phage Consultants, we conduced an audit of the production facility to identify potential issues related to bacteriophage contamination, and from that audit we developed a phage prevention plan,” says Dr. Bernier.

“Phage Consultants did a remarkable job and we were able to prevent phage contamination. They are very professional, efficient and most importantly trustworthy,” he adds.

Enhancing fermentation efficiency

Another testimonial comes from Alex Michine at MetGen, a specialist manufacturer active in industrial enzymes and bio renewable chemicals.

“MetGen can highly recommend Phage Consultants as reliable and highly efficient,” writes Michine.
“The project was performed smoothly, within agreed budget and resulted in significant improvement in the way our pilot fermentation facility operates.”

About Phage Consultants

Bacteriophages (phages) are viruses that infect bacteria. First discovered around 1915, phages play an important role in viral biology, used to elucidate DNA viral reproduction through lytic and lysogenic cycles. They have been used for almost a century as alternatives to antibiotics and can have therapeutic effect against multi-drug-resistant strains of many bacteria.

Based in Poland, Phage Consultants is a contract research and manufacturing organization that specializes in bacteriophage detection and characterization and production. Phage has become a world leader in using the power of bacteriophage technology in bioprocess infection and contamination control and assisting companies whose production is based on microbial activities in preventing phage, bacterial, fungal and viral contaminations.

Phage Consultants are specialists in the field of bacteriophage biology with specific expertise on phage activity in bioprocessing. Its team provides unique assistance to pharmaceutical and biotech companies, offering a range of services from personal training to consulting and process optimization in phage growth limitation.
