Home to our premier bioprocessing, biologics development, and clinical manufacturing.

St. Louis, MO, USA

St. Louis, MO, where biologics innovation starts

Spanning over 525,000 square feet in size, with over 105,000 square feet dedicated to cGMP production, our St. Louis, MO biologics development and manufacturing facility is a Center of Excellence for bioprocessing and single-use technology (S.U.T.), featuring the Bioprocessing Collaboration Center (BCC) and the Thermo Scientific™ HyPerforma™ DynaDrive™ Single-Use Bioreactors (S.U.B.s).

Here our experts have access to high capital equipment and resources, enabling them to create customized or optimized process development and scale-up techniques for development of bispecific, Fc-fusion, IgG1, IgG4, and various other complex protein-based biologics. 

Capabilities and strategies designed for high-quality and timely production

Significant investment in multiple high throughput systems provides accelerated and robust development and manufacturing. The site uses Beacon™ system for cell line development, Ambr™ 250 systems for final clone and upstream process development, Tecan™ systems for sample preparation and resin screening for downstream development, the Prometheus system for liquid formulation screening and development, in-line conditioning/dilution (ILC/ILD) skid for buffer preparation, and multi-attribute modeling (MAM) for analytical characterization.
