Terminology of Biological Products

Biological product is a product obtained by using biological material such as organisms or their tissues, cells, genes and so on, through a series of biological, chemical and biochemical technology processing. It can be biopharmaceuticals, biological agents, biomedical devices, food additives, cosmetics, etc. It is mainly used in the fields of medical treatment, health care, beauty care and industrial production.

Compared with general chemical products, biological products have higher activity and specificity, so they have higher drug effect and better therapeutic effect. Their preparation process is also more complex and rigorous, requiring higher technology and equipment.

At the same time, the research and development, production and sales of biologics also need to comply with more laws, regulations and institutional requirements to ensure their safety and efficacy, in order to safeguard human health and life safety.
