Bioprocessing Cell Culture

A microscopic view of cell structures against a yellow background.

Critical for the development and production of biotherapeutic products, cell culture for manufacturing requires scalable products that are traceable and pure yet economically sound. We are deeply committed to providing you with robust products to meet your mammalian cell culture needs. Our highly validated, optimized products, including upstream chemicals, supplements, chemically defined cell culture media, bioreactors and clarification filters, coupled with decades of expertise, provide convenient solutions to even the most complex challenges. We support you to maximize performance, speed, process economics and reduce risks, ensure business continuity and accelerate progress of drug candidates.
