Biopharmaceutical safety testing is fundamental to ensuring product quality, patient safety, and regulatory compliance. As innovative biologics—including monoclonal antibodies, vaccines, cell therapies, and gene therapies—continue to advance, the industry demands higher standards for analytical sensitivity, testing efficiency, standardization, and method robustness. Conventional testing methods often struggle to meet the increasing demands for rapid turnaround, automation, and accelerated batch release. Next-generation testing technologies, such as recombinant reagents and nucleic acid amplification technology(NAT), offer enhanced sensitivity, testing efficiency, and strong alignment with regulatory requirements, providing efficient and reliable solutions for biopharmaceutical safety testing.
SAFENSURE™ is ACROBiosystems' dedicated brand for biopharmaceutical safety testing, providing reliable and regulatory-compliant solutions for critical safety quality control. Designed to support quality control across the biopharmaceutical lifecycle, SAFENSURE™ helps biopharmaceutical manufacturers improve testing efficiency, minimize quality risks, and strengthen quality assurance.

The recombinant Factor C (rFC) assay uses genetically engineered recombinant Factor C to bind and detect endotoxins with high sensitivity and specificity. Upon activation by endotoxin, the rFC cleaves a fluorogenic substrate, generating a fluorescence signal proportional to endotoxin levels.
Compared to conventional LAL assays, this kit provides improved accuracy, eliminates interference from Factor G pathways, and delivers more consistent, reproducible results aligned with global regulatory trends toward sustainability and animal-free testing.

Different methods were used to detect endotoxin residues in four samples, and the values of this rFC method and LAL method were at the same level.
The kit is applicable in endotoxin detection of injectable drugs and some medium, such as Recombinant Human Interferon α-1b, Human insulin injection and different mediums. The results of the rFC method of this kit are compared with those of LAL method.
The rFC method was employed to detect endotoxin residues in β-glucan at concentrations of 10ug/mL and 1ug/mL. No non-specific signals were detected. In contrast, the dynamic chromogenic method used for β-glucan detection resulted in the detection of endotoxin and non-specific signals. This indicates that recombinant factor C does not react with β-glucan, demonstrating the good specificity of the rFC method.
Using Endotoxin (USP, Cat. No. U1235503) as the standard, the recovery rate of ACRO Kit standard is in the range of 50%-200%, which meets the requirements.
Mycoplasma contamination poses a critical risk during biologics production, particularly in processes such as cell isolation, modification, and expansion. To ensure the safety of the final product, mycoplasma must be completely excluded during release testing. ACROBiosystems’ SAFENSURE™ offers a comprehensive mycoplasma analytical reagents, including Mycoplasma DNA Sample Preparation Kit and Mycoplasma Rapid Detection Kit, developed to meet the requirements of European Pharmacopoeia Chapter 2.6.7,accelerating both biologics in-process monitoring and batch release.
