Scalable Manufacturing

When your upstream process is optimized, we can scale into larger bioreactors to provide the amount of product needed from 2L to 500L for a range of modalities. For gene therapy customers only, try our EpyQ® AAV Production System with 2 plasmids instead of 3 to increase quality and lower cost with no impact to scale. And tailor your downstream processing workflows with the option for in-house fill/finish in two of our United States locations.

We started in development and understand your challenges!
