Bioprocessing Breakthrough: Xheme Non-Toxic, Multifunctional Additive Eliminates Oxidative Stress

Oxidative stress, caused by an imbalance of free radicals and antioxidants, regularly reduces the yield of pharmaceuticals and therapeutics produced via bioprocessing by about 10-15%. Now, Xheme, Inc.'s Xheme Multifunctional Additive (XMA), a programmable non-toxic nanoporous microparticle, has demonstrated the ability to significantly reduce or eliminate the damage of oxidative stress in bioprocessing conditions.
