A Flexible, Cost-Effective Manufacturing Service
FlexJIT™ is a flexible just-in-time manufacturing service. AthenaES has developed an efficient manufacturing process for producing liquid and powder products that is both flexible and responsive, which allows our manufacturing team to rapidly adapt to any variable production needs and schedules of our clients. We produce liquid and dry powder culture media as well as an array of chemical and biological reagents for the life science industry.
From simple 2-component products to complex 80-component chemical-biological mixtures, Athena produces a wide range of products in batch sizes from milligrams to kilograms and liters to hectoliters. We partner with early-stage as well as established life science companies to support them in establishing a customized and comprehensive, low-cost, and low-risk manufacturing capability.
Reduced Upfront Costs
- Eliminates the need to invest in or maintain inventory when demand is uncertain
- Lowers initial capital investment and infrastructure risk
Market Responsive
- Rapid turnaround with adjustable batch sizes and schedules
- Ability to scale production quickly as demand increases
Comprehensive Support
- Full logistics and supply chain support from raw materials to final delivery
- Expertise in manufacturing life science products
Cell Culture Media
Athena offers an array of custom cell culture formulations, including generic media such as RPMI, DMEM, EMEM, McCoy’s 5A, etc., as well as our proprietary cell culture media with custom alterations. We can tailor formulations to include or exclude select amino acids like arginine, lysine, leucine, and methionine, with or without high or low levels of glucose, or with and without any other component. Orders can be made to fit any research requirements, including SILAC experiments, production of recombinant proteins, and animal-product-free applications. Bulk or small-batch orders are available with a minimum purchase of 5 L.
Dry Powder Manufacturing
Athena can produce most media and buffer formulations as dehydrated medium. Dehydrated blends of media and buffers have a longer shelf life and lower unit cost for shipping. Storage and transportation are at ambient temperatures, thereby eliminating the need for expensive cold-chain shipment and storage under refrigerated conditions. Athena does custom packaging in single-use packets, gram-to-kilogram bottle containers, or multi-kilogram drums, depending on the customer’s need.
OEM and Private Labeling
OEM and private labeling services are available for generic or customer-defined media formulations. AthenaES provides custom manufacturing and packaging to support customers's production needs. Production schedules and batch sizes are flexible, allowing for agile supplies based on demand. Logistical support is available for further inventory control and support of our partner’s customers.
Custom Contract Services
Protein Expression
Athena specializes in optimizing recombinant protein expression systems to maximize yield and purity. We concentrate on expressing difficult-to-produce proteins that have the potential to provide groundbreaking benefits. Our capabilities and support meet the needs of industry, academic, and government researchers, from small-scale technical and commercial feasibility studies to final product manufacturing. With the advent of Athena’s ACESTM (AthenaESTM Complete Expression System) and the use of the revolutionary YebF protein, we can tackle a wide range of proteins that may be unable to be expressed under normal conditions.
Biocatalyst Development
Athena’s biocatalyst development employs an array of techniques to identify and optimize biocatalytic activity for industrial processes. AthenaESTM can screen a wide range of microbes for specific enzymatic activity, determine the source of an enzyme, and optimize the enzyme activity for substrate specificity.
