Fast decisions instead of delays Quality Control through outstanding design Better continuity and efficiency The complexity and stringent demands of pharmaceutical manufacturing today require quality control mechanisms that not only meet regulatory requirements, but also guarantee manufacturing continuity and efficiency. Conventional testing systems are time-consuming and cause expensive bottlenecks in production. For example, delayed product releases while waiting for test results lead to increased storage costs and potentially undetected contamination, which often makes it necessary to discard production batches. Strengthen your operational safety: In-house manufacturing of kit components guarantees highest quality and secure supply All-inclusive kit format eliminates time-consuming validation of single assay components ISO13485 conformant reagent production ensures consistent performance every time Assays compliant with regulatory specifications for manufacturing and release testing Kits can be validated on various analyzers and automated for high-throughput testing Fast and consistent QC solutions As one of the market leaders in diagnostics and pharmaceuticals, Roche is in a unique position to create and provide succesfull quality control solutions through outstanding design. Our detection assays emerge from the expertise and innovation of Roche Diagnostics and are then tested on the manufacturing floors of Roche Pharmaceuticals. The result of this interdisciplinary effort are validated, all-inclusive and highly efficient testing kits that meet stringent regulatory requirements and enable rapid quality assessments to safeguard your manufacturing processes. 4 QC solutions

Rapid Microbial Methods Designed and tested by Roche Detect cell culture contamination in hours, instead of days Bacterial and viral contamination of cell cultures can shut down manufacturing, destroy valuable cultures before symptoms of infection are visible, and compromise product safety. Release testing for mycoplasma is therefore required for several drugs, biologics, and medical devices, and frequent testing for Minute Virus of Mice (MVM) is highly recommended. The MycoTOOL Mycoplasma PCR Detection Kit and ViroTOOL MVM PCR Detection Kit are all-inclusive molecular tests with optimized controls and validated reagents for sensitive and reproducible quality control. Unlike culture-based methods, results take only a few hours, which minimizes the impact of possible contaminations. Regulators agree; Roche solutions meet authority requirements High test sensitivity, specificity, and speed are paramount for timely contamination management and essential to product safety assurance. For this reason, authorities in over 150 countries accept the MycoTOOL Mycoplasma PCR Detection Kit as a release test and many recommend PCR-based testing for MVM. The MycoTOOL and ViroTOOL kits require no sample pre-incubation, and the assays can be automated for high-throughput testing 1. Leverage our experience Use the MycoTOOL validation report from Roche Pharmaceuticals for guidance on how to easily incorporate the test into your quality control strategy Both MycoTOOL Kits (Endpoint and Real-time PCR) are compliant to EP 2.6.7 and USP 63 Timely detection of cell culture contaminants in biopharmaceutical manufacturing Contaminant Sample type Sensitivity Specificity Kit format Time-to-result MycoTOOL Mycoplasma PCR Detection Kit >140 species of Mycoplasma (including uncultivable species) Various cell types (CHO, cell therapy samples, etc.) 10 CFU/ml for all species 1 CFU/ml for most species No cross-reactivity with closely related bacteria Endpoint and Real-time PCR -8 hours (Endpoint) <5 hours (Real-time) ViroTOOL MVM PCR Detection Kit Minute Virus of Mice Various cell types (CHO, cell therapy samples, etc.) 1 TCID50/ml No cross-reactivity with closely related viral species Real-time PCR <5 hours The assays can be automated for high-throughput testing 6 QC solutions

Residual DNA detection Developed to meet requirements from authorities High sensitivity for product safety Removal of impurities from host cells is an imperative step in the production of biopharmaceuticals to guarantee product safety. Mandates from the World Health Organization and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration 2 require clearance of host cell DNA in final products, which must be confirmed via accurate testing 3. Based on proven real-time PCR technology, the Residual DNA CHO Kit and Residual DNA E. coli Kit provide the heightened sensitivity and broad detection range necessary to meet regulatory specifications. Simple and efficient integration into existing workflows Roche residual DNA kits are easily integrated into standing quality control procedures. Their performance is robust to sample type variation, including in-process samples and bulk drug substances, therefore the kits can be implemented at any stage in the manufacturing flow. Additionally, sample preparation requires minimal hands-on time and all necessary reagents and controls are included in the kit. This enables completion of the entire workflow in <5 hours 3, leading to faster product release, heightened sensitivity and broad detection range necessary to meet regulatory specifications.

Residual protein detection Unique combination of enzyme plus QC test Activity- independent detection, more accurate control Enzymes used in biopharmaceutical and cell therapy manufacturing during cell preparation or for the modification and activation of products pose safety risks and must therefore be removed before final product release. Conventional methods used to ascertain the presence of enzymes are based on measuring enzyme activity, which fails to detect inactivated proteins that can still be immunogenic. To guarantee product safety, Roche has introduced high-performance kits based on ELISA technology to detect complete and fragmented enzymes, independent of activity. Complete manufacturing solutions The Residual Protein Liberase Kit and Residual Protein Trypsin Kit include high-affinity polyclonal antibodies that report the presence of enzymes with high sensitivity and in a broad range of sample matrices and types. Coupling these kits with Roche animal-free, GMP grade enzymes augments production efficiency, from the use of high-activity enzymes to timely verification of their clearance, and helps fulfill increasing regulatory requirements.
