Access our microbial technologies

The area of microbial biomanufacturer, to produce recombinant proteins, microbial vaccines, novel scaffolds, new molecular formats, plasmid DNA, and other biopharmaceuticals, requires customized processes tailored to the characteristics of the molecule. We have extensive experience with processes developed internally, as well as those transferred into our facilities for scale up. Our expertise includes secreted, soluble and insoluble (inclusion bodies) processes, with re-fold capabilities from small to very large scale. Using advanced engineering and process development capabilities we ensure processes are robust, scalable and reproducible.
