Which Modality Can We Assist You With?

Where Innovation Meets Expertise | The Tour of Our Labs

The state-of-the-art facilities are fully equipped to support both upstream (USP) and downstream processing (DSP), ensuring that we deliver the highest quality results. At the heart of our operations is the monolithic technology, which enables the superb separation of biomolecules.

A team of knowledgeable and inventive experts is dedicated to the development of processes for viruses, exosomes, and virus-like particles.

We are committed to developing effective, fast, and robust processes for target molecules, ultimately serving patients in need of gene therapy, oncolytic treatments, or safe vaccines.

Have Your Process Developed in 4 Simple Steps

  1. Contact us Explain your needs, fill out the questionnaire. Let’s identify together your goals and set up a work plan.
  2. Technical Offer Based on your needs and scope, we prepare an informative offer and all the documentation needed.
  3. Execution After confirming the plan and signing the contract, just send us your sample and material and we will get busy.
  4. Tech Transfer Time is of essence so we will do our best to develop the process for you, including SOPs, training, transfer, scale-up , on site support in timely manner.

With over 25 years of experience we are able to provide you with the quickest way to identify the key quality attributes for your unique product and optimize them for best performance. This allows for significant time, labor and opportunity cost savings, permitting your team to focus on bringing your product to clinic and market.

Timelines and Workflow

  1. Feasibility Study:

Start with a feasibility study to establish proof of concept without the optimization of work or robustness checks. The study usually takes 1 month or less and provides a brief report with purification data and results. Usually, one scientist is involved.

  1. Process Development Project:

Continue with a comprehensive process development project that typically spans 2 to 12 months and provides detailed reports, SOPs, training, and tech transfer as well as optimization and scalability|reproducibility validation. The project manager and team implement new techniques and methods to ensure success.

Pharmaron

Working with Sartorius BIA Separations, Pharmaron was able to extend its toolbox of AAV purification solutions, providing multiple-modality options to achieve robust separation of genome-containing (full) from genome-free (empty) viral capsids with high purity and yield for multiple AAV serotypes. During this collaboration, a strong partnership was developed leading to Sartorius BIA separations presenting the work at the second webinar of the Pharmaron Cell and Gene Therapy webinar series. The webinar was entitled “Downstream AAV Production: A Targeted Approach to Optimization”.
