Universal Technology Transfer

Kymanox has created a set of Universal Technology Transfer Templates available from our KymaSTORE.™ Take a look at our offerings:

• Analytical Assay Summary Template - This template package features a universal Analytical Assay Summary template that can be used to provide the most up-to-date information on all assays used for in-process testing, lot release, characterization, raw material testing, and other assays related to a specific process requiring technology transfer.



• Bill of Materials Template - This template package features a universal Bill of Materials template that can be used to provide the most complete information on all components, raw materials, consumables, reagents, and biologic materials.



• Biologic Material Transfer Log Template - This template package features a universal Biologic Material Transfer Log template that can be used to document the transfer of cells and intermediates in various stages of processing, including purified product and reference standard. The log provides basic information on the origin, nature, and key biological and safety properties of the materials in question.



• Change Management Template - This template package features a universal Change Management template that can be used to provide information on both contemplated and actual modifications to the process and/or its components in a controlled and documented manner.



• Equipment List Template - This template package features a universal Equipment List template that can be used to provide the most complete information on all critical and auxiliary systems for the transferred manufacturing process and associated testing.



• Sampling Plan Template - This template package features a universal Sampling Plan template that can be used to provide information on quantity, size, and nature of samples of materials to be collected at various stages or unit operations for process control, release, or informational purposes. This template is especially useful for technology transfers.



• Solution Formulation Template - This template package features a universal Solution Formulation template that can be used to outline the minimum requirements for the successful transfer of information necessary for the preparation of buffers, media, and other solutions.



• Writing Assay Transfer Plans Procedure - This SOP package features a procedure that provides comprehensive instructions on creating Assay Transfer Plans, which provide information on assays requiring transfer, activities related to assay qualification at the receiver site, as well as expected results and specifications. The procedure also includes appropriate example tables to provide further guidance on creating the document.



• Writing Assay Transfer Reports Procedure - This SOP package features a procedure that provides comprehensive instructions on creating Assay Transfer Reports, which provide documented proof that transferred assays perform at the receiver's facility and in the receiver's hands acceptably and comparably with the sender. The reports summarize the results of executed qualification protocols for each transferred assay.



• Writing Detailed Process Descriptions Procedure - This SOP package features a procedure that provides comprehensive instructions on creating Detailed Process Descriptions, which provide the most up-to-date information on equipment, materials, methods, process steps, and unit operations, as well as specifications for raw materials and components, intermediates, bulk drug substances, and drug product. The procedure also includes appropriate example tables to provide further guidance on creating the document.



• Writing Experiment Reports Procedure - This SOP package features a procedure that provides comprehensive instructions on creating Experiment Reports, which document the details of an individual experiment or trial performed as part of a process transfer. Experiment Reports provide the rationale for performing the experiment, as well as a brief description of materials, equipment, procedure, results, and conclusions.



• Writing Process Transfer Plans Procedure - This SOP package features a procedure that provides comprehensive instructions on creating Process Transfer Plans, which outline, in detail, the strategies, activities, and timeline for transferring a process between different facilities, as well as provide expected results and specifications for the transfer. The procedure also includes appropriate example tables to provide further guidance on creating the document.



• Writing Process Transfer Reports Procedure - This SOP package features a procedure that provides comprehensive instructions on creating Process Transfer Reports, which provide documented proof that a transferred process performs at the receiver's facility and in the receiver's hands acceptably and comparably with the sender. The report summarizes the results of bench-top verification experiments, process scale-up, and optimization, as well as the Engineering Run at scale.

Long Tail Terms, Part 2

Well, SEO and Long Tail terms really do work. One day after my attempt to get Kymanox ranked for the keyword phrase, "biotech knowledge transfer", Kymanox has jumped to the top of the google list for the search, "biotech knowledge transfer".

Quite amazing, that! I figured with the turnaround in search crawlers and such that we would be waiting quite a few days, maybe a week, to see if we had any success.

I hope this post is helpful for those looking to improve their search engine optimization. Since this is but one of the keywords that Kymanox will focus on, I will be adding more keyword tests in the near future to this blog, and will report the outcomes here as well!

"Long Tail" Terms

I had an interesting meeting with a company called Hubspot yesterday and they brought up some interesting ideas that I thought I would pass along. The main one that I found most interesting was in order to boost your web presence, you should go after "long tail terms" on google. So what are long tail terms?

Well, if you followed the link above, the Long Tail terms really refer to terms that are less likely to have many links on google. I'll give you an example from our point of view:

For Kymanox, we would really like to be in the top 10 on the google keyword "Knowledge Transfer". Unfortunately, there are 28 million sites listed for this search. To move out onto the longer portion of the "long tail" we need to find related keywords with less searches, but ones that can be easily targeted. Kymanox already ranks very high for "Ideal Knowledge Transfer", since Kymanox' Ideal Knowledge Transfer is our trademarked process. But what if I want to target is something that we don't yet have any exposure on?

"Biotech knowledge transfer" is a good start, as this has 380,000 linked items, which is much less than the 28 million we started out with. Kymanox has no presence for this keyword combination, which is a bit odd because it is something we focus a lot of our efforts on. What I've also noted is that none of the top items specifically uses "biotech knowledge transfer" as the title of the document. I'm going to create a document and place it on the Kymanox website, and try a bit of a test to see how quickly we can be ranked on google for "Biotech Knowledge Transfer".

I'll follow up on this in a couple of weeks, and see if Kymanox has entered the "Biotech Knowledge Transfer" results.
