LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

WEBSITE DETAILS:-

 

Business

Subject was incorporated in 1991 with the objective of providing quality products and services to the IVD industry, in a business to business fashion. Over the years, Subject has developed into a globally recognized provider of high quality reagents and components specifically tailored to suit the needs of its customers.

 

Consistently high quality, reproducibility and a flexible approach to address the needs of each customer has helped Subject emerge as an enabler and provider to diagnostic manufacturers the world over. The Concern is entirely export oriented with a majority of its clients in Europe, Japan and the USA.

 

The core competency of Subject lies in years of experience and expertise in protein purification. This proficiency has translated into Subject emerging as one of the largest producers of C - reactive protein (CRP) in the world, with an annual capacity of close to 400 grams. In addition to CRP, Subject produces a wide range of protein products that cater to the requirements of diagnostic manufacturers manufacturing tests for infectious diseases, immunology and protein assays.

 

Subject’s products fall under two broad categories –

 

Purified Proteins and Polyclonal Antisera raised in goats.

 

At the concern, they strive to ensure that the every lot manufactured lives up to their stringent requirements for

·         Viral inactivation

·         Viral testing

·         Stability

·         Reproducibility

·         Purity

·         Activity

 

Subject’s Protein Products are either

 

(i)                  Derived from body fluids

(ii)                Cell line derived

 

Their protein products derived from natural sources undergo efficient viral inactivation steps to ensure that the final product is completely safe.

 

All their protein products undergo both in house and third party testing for viral markers (Anti HIV 1/2, Anti HBV, Anti HCV detection) as well as third party NAT testing from an NABL certified laboratory.

 

In house stability testing is carried out for all their products to ensure that every lot they produce is of the highest quality. The stability data is available to their customers on request. In addition to this, stability studies and testing done to generate customer-specified information can be carried out to assimilate data using protocols and systems specified by the customer, to ensure relevant information to suit varied QC requirements.

 

Polyclonal Antisera

 

All Advy’s Antisera undergo a low pH viral inactivation step prior to processing to ensure that the final product is safe to handle.

 

Subject offers the unique feature of manufacturing anti sera to meet the customers exact requirements of activity. On receiving the desired specifications (activity, total protein, total albumin, Becker titre, etc) from the customer and/or a reference standard, they can generate Antisera to exactly meet the customer’s requirements.

 

In addition to the normal in house QC, Subject also tests the stability of its Antisera as per testing protocols provided by their customers. This helps ensure that each lot manufactured for the customer is exactly as per their specifications, thereby reducing testing time.

 

In addition to the Antisera from goats, Subject also has the infrastructure to generate antibodies in other species, on request.


In addition to manufacturing purified proteins and polyclonal anti sera, Subject also offers its customers a range of services to add value to every business interaction.


 

Their services include:

 

1. Custom Antisera development

Subject’s infrastructure allows for the custom development of polyclonal Antisera against new proteins to meet a customer’s specific demand. The Antisera can be raised in goats and other species, to meet each customer’s requirements. Ensuring a fast turnover time from antigen procurement to delivery of the processed Antisera, Subject offers a viable avenue for customers looking for hard-to-procure Antisera

 

2. Custom reagent development

Subject’s in house R and D team and developmental expertise focuses on the development of finished reagents for interested customers. In addition to trouble shooting for existing reagents, Subject also offers its customers the opportunity to outsource the development and formulation of novel reagents to Subject’s experienced team.

 

3. Development of paired antigen and antibody

 

4. Contract Manufacturing

 

Subject’s existing infrastructure and close association with BSV enables it to offer a wide range of contract manufacturing opportunities from packaging to cell culture and downstream processing.

 

5. Coupling of proteins to enzymes, haptens, fluorescent markers.

 

Advantage

 

The advantages enjoyed by customers that make use of the concern’s services include

·         Economic viability

·         Cost advantage

·         Fast turnover time

·         Adherence to regulatory guidelines

·         Skilled workforce to target the entire gamut of operations involved in IVD manufacturing
