Regulatory agencies require companies using microbial cell lines that produce products for human use to regularly complete biosafety testing to ensure that cell banks are free of phage contamination. Bacteriophage (phage) is a virus that infects and replicates within bacteria1, basically bacterial predators. One hundred times smaller than a bacterium, phage are found wherever [...]
NGS represents a technological leap that has potential to revolutionize drug discovery and development. Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) has the potential to unlock causative factors from our genetic material. NGS also represents a technological advancement using array-based sequencing that will improve many aspects of scientific research and advance the field of personalized medicine. Because [...]

Digital PCR (dPCR) provides precise and absolute quantification of nucleic acids without a standard curve and without dependence on amplification efficiency.Digital PCR is ultrasensitive; therefore, appropriate for testing allelic variants and targets of low abundance that are below the sensitivity limit of QPCR. It is also very precise, and is a better tool than QPCR when precise determination of the ratio of several nucleic acid sequences is required.
In the week of March 18, 2012, Avance Biosciences™ entered a Master Service Agreement (MSA) with a global leader in custom biologics manufacturing. Based on this agreement, Avance Biosciences™ will provide its GMP level Cell Bank Characterization services, including DNA Sequencing, qPCR, Southern blot and other molecular biological methods, to characterize the Master Cell Bank (MCB), Working Cell Bank (WCB), and End of Production Cells (EOPC) submitted by the clients.
To Our Esteemed Customers and Friends: We would like to bring to your attention that Avance Biosciences™ Inc. has been formed by a group of experienced genomic scientists, quality professionals, biotechnology services experts, and enthusiastic investors. The founders of the company, combined, have more than 100 years of experience in the genomics and biotechnology [...]
