Microbial fermentation and cell culture


Production of cGMP-grade and non-cGMP-grade bulk material in BL1 and BL2 qualified laboratories (final dosage form): media design and optimization; development of synthetic or defined media for fermentation or cell culture; cell culture adaptation to serum-free or protein-free media; process development, optimization and scale-up; process validation; production.


Microbial fermentation

IBA Biologics offers a comprehensive range of cultivation and primary separation options for microbial processes from laboratory scale up to production scale.
