Pre-clinical Late


Irvine QC Lab, open labSAFC Biosciences can facilitate your successful movement through late stage pre-clinical development with expertise in cell line development, purification, regulatory issues, media screening and technology transfer.


We have a 35-year background of clinical project development support and have helped companies move from discovery to successful commercialization; no other supplier can offer the same level of expertise at every stage of development.




Among our offer to you:

  Development of a production cell line:
Development of a working cell bank through discovery of ideal attributes and  specifications, clone optimization and selection.
  Process scaleability:
Assistance with development of a process development scale-up model confirming the process can be completed at a large-scale and verification of productivity, functionality, homogeneity and comparability.
  Media screening:
High throughput production and feed media screening, media library screening, raw material evaluation,  analytical support, imMEDIAte ADVANTAGE™ small volume media services.
  Technical transfer:
Engineering runs to test the manufacturing process and equipment; determining production parameters; pH, temperature, feeding requirements, cell density, harvest requirements, etc.
  Regulatory support:
Filing to describe manufacturing process for permission to test in humans, component sourcing and traceability.

From expression feasibility studies to robust process development, SAFC Biosciences has the knowledge, responsiveness, expertise and track record to move your clinical project through the development pipeline successfully. We have a 35-year background of clinical project development support and have helped companies move from discovery to successful commercialization; no other supplier can offer the same level of expertise at every stage of development.

Pre-clinical Late Stage
Before clinical trials can begin, pre-clinical studies are required to gather important safety and pharmacology data. Determining a drug's pharmacodynamics (PD), pharmacokinetics (PK), Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism and Excretion (ADME) and toxicity are the main goals of pre-clinical studies.

Tactical focuses during the pre-clinical late stage include animal studies, biological activity, safety and the development of Phase I processes, while the strategic focus is generally speed to clinic and decisions related to expansion of production facilities or use of a contract manufacturing organization.

Data gathered in the pre-clinical phase allows researchers to determine how to dose the drug for clinical trials in humans. To be acceptable for submission to regulatory agencies such as the Food & Drug Administration (FDA), pre-clinical studies must adhere to Good Laboratory Practices (GLP). Typically during pre-clinical studies both in vitro and in vivo tests will be performed. Other studies focus on the drug's toxicity and if there are any long-term carcinogenic effects.
