BioInno’s unique facility will utilize single-use technologies to enable multi-product flexibility and rapid time to market, and ABEC’s CSR single-use systems will enable high productivity and low cost of goods. ABEC’s CSR bioreactors and fermenters lead the industry in both scale and performance. Leading biopharmaceutical manufacturers are now operating CSR at 4,000L scale, double the industry standard. Process performance comparable to stainless steel systems has also been demonstrated for several cell culture and microbial fermentation customers. BioInno will realize even greater economies of scale at 6,000L, which will set new benchmarks in the reduction of cost of goods for monoclonal antibody manufacturing. ABEC’s CSR systems will also be used for plasmid DNA and viral vector manufacturing.
“BioInno is investing to support China’s rapidly growing biopharmaceutical industry,” said Dr. Xiaojian (David) Zhao, BioInno Chairman and CEO. “ABEC’s scalable single-use technology is key to providing the most cost-effective services to our clients.”
“We are proud to be supporting BioInno with our 6,000L CSR bioreactor technology,” said Scott Pickering, ABEC President and CEO. “ABEC has consistently been an innovation leader in our industry, and our scalable single-use solutions have continued that tradition.”
