Microbial Production and Manufacturing Services

We have produced 100+ products using microbial expressed proteins and multiple modes of expression - including secretion (yeast), periplasmic secretion, soluble intracellular expression, and inclusion bodies. The AGC Biologics network has produced six commercial products using microbial systems.

AGC Biologics offers microbial services on three continents, ranging from cell-line development and process development to clinical and commercial manufacturing. Our expertise includes experience with E. coli, Pichia, Pseudomonas Fluorescens, Bacillus microbial expression systems, and more.

We offer flexible manufacturing scales up to 3,000L​ and our cell banking services meet the standards of regulatory agencies around the world. We use standard industry systems, including batch and fed-batch methods, to produce microbial drug products.
