Bioprocessing Cell Lines

A cell line that maintains favorable growth and productivity characteristics is vital for biopharmaceutical manufacturing processes, whether you are producing monoclonal antibodies, recombinant proteins, or viral vectors for gene therapies. Our ready-to-use cell line systems and platforms can accelerate your upstream development and greatly reduce the time, cost, and risk of developing new cell lines. Our cell lines are rationally engineered and designed for compliant biomanufacturing.
Key features include:
- Fully traceable cell lines with comprehensive documentation
- cGMP banked and characterized
- Paired, optimized, and chemically defined media and feeds
- Comprehensive user protocols for efficient cell line development and seamless scale-up, supported by technical consultation

Chozn® Cell Lines for Production of Biologics and Recombinant Proteins
CHOZN® GS-/- Cell Line, A ZFN-Modified CHO Cell Line
Powered by CompoZr® Zinc Finger Nuclease (ZFN) technology, the well-known and widely adopted CHOZN® GS-/- cell line enables rapid cell line development by metabolic selection without the addition of MSX (GS inhibitor). With excellent stability, more than 75% of clones maintain higher than 70% titer over 60 generations.
The cell line is originated from ECACC CHO K1, adapted to suspension growth in chemically defined, animal component-free media. Optimum performance is achieved when the cell line is paired with chemically defined cell culture medium and feeds.

CHOZN® Elite cell line, the next generation CHO host to boost your yield
The CHOZN® Elite cell line is a subclone of the CHOZN® GS-/-cell line that outperforms the parental cell line in cell line development (CLD) efficiency, predictable growth, protein production, and other performance metrics. This cell line is fully traceable from CHOZN® GS-/- ZFN modified CHO cell line and is cGMP banked, characterized and adventitious agent tested to meet regulatory expectations.
- High producing clones: achieves titers of 7-13 g/L with standard vectors, resulting in cost savings
- Highly stability: 85% of clones maintain higher than 70% of titer over 60 generations
- Consistent growth profile: 18 to 24 x 106 cells/mL for fed-batch
- Easy to adopt: plug-and-play with your established CLD processes, for use in both fed-batch and perfusion processes.

Cell Lines for Recombinent Proteins, Virus Like Particles and Viral Vector Production
Sf-RVN® Platform For Improving the Safety Profile of Your Bioprocesses
The Sf-RVN® Insect Cell Line with companion EX-CELL® CD Insect Cell Medium provides a high performing platform optimized for production of recombinant proteins, viral vaccines such as viral like particles (VLP) and adeno-associated vectors (AAV) for gene therapy applications.
The majority of Spodoptera frugiperda cells (such as Sf-9) contain a rhabdovirus that is considered a process contaminant and must be eliminated during bioprocessing.
The Sf-RVN® Platform is a synergy between a patented Sf9 rhabdovirus-negative cell line that demonstrates same characteristics as Sf-9 cells, with companion chemically defined medium, specifically formulated for excellent growth and productivity.
