We have worked with a wide-range of organisations from across the world including large multinational corporations, small-medium enterprises and start-up companies as well as internationally renowned universities.
We are a UK government backed, independent facility with no alignment to proprietary technologies or contract manufacturing lock-ins – meaning the processes that we develop with you can be transferred to your manufacturing site or a CMO of your choice. Our work is ISO 9001 certified for scale-up and manufacturing approaches.
Our technologies
We are happy to work with you on discrete process challenges or on complete development campaigns to produce material for pre-clinical and/or toxicology studies. Our experienced team of scientists, engineers and project managers can support you with a comprehensive suite of services and expertise, including:
- Microbial and mammalian cell culture optimisation at both lab and pilot scale
- Bespoke downstream process development
- Analytics for process characterisation and final testing
- Fill, finish, formulation, cryopreservation development
- Forced degradation and stability studies
- Cell-free protein synthesis
- Continuous processing
Our state-of-the-art facilities at our Darlington, UK site, comprise 13 BSL1 and BSL2 flexible laboratories which allow us to develop cost-effective GMP compliant processes. We utilise specialised scaled-down and high-throughput systems to accelerate the development and optimisation of your bioprocesses before scale up to maximise the yield, purity and quality of your product.
