Lonza Launches Rapid Media Prototyping Service

Lonza, a contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO), has introduced a Rapid Media Prototyping Service (RaMP), giving biopharmaceutical companies faster access to custom liquid and powder media for screening, process confirmation and early development. With the possibility to send non-GMP powder batches from 1-10 kg and liquid batches from 1-100 L produced within 10 working days, the service helps scientists accelerate timelines, generate critical process data and prepare for GMP manufacturing.

RaMP is part of Lonza’s end-to-end custom media and buffer solutions offering, supporting customers from media development and screening through non-GMP prototyping and commercial GMP manufacturing. By linking early formulation work with long-term scalability, the service helps simplify development and support manufacturing readiness.

Omar Wahab, VP, Head of Bioprocessing, Lonza, said: “Development teams are under pressure to generate data quickly, make informed process decisions and keep programs moving toward the clinic. RaMP gives customers the possibility of rapid access to custom media in the quantities they need, when they need it. By connecting early screening and process confirmation with future GMP requirements, we help reduce scale-up risk, simplify technology transfer and support a more efficient path to commercialization.”

Delivered through Lonza’s global media development and manufacturing network, RaMP combines rapid turnaround, flexible batch sizes and specialized expertise to help customers advance development with greater confidence while preparing for scale-up and GMP manufacturing.
