Microbial Biopharmaceutical CDMO

Biovian is a One-Stop-Shop CDMO for bacterial and yeast-based production of Drug Substances and Drug Products. Our microbial production services include GMP production of recombinant proteins and plasmid DNA for vaccines. The microbial GMP-manufacturing unit of Biovian is equipped with state-of-the-art fermenters, harvesting equipment, and a choice of downstream purification capabilities. Manufacturing and purification options cover both secreted and intracellular products.

Track record in Recombinant Protein Development and Manufacturing

Developing Microbial processes since 2003. Experience with recombinant proteins and protein complexes, plasmid DNA and vaccines.
Over 100 clinical Drug Substance and subsequent Drug Product batches manufactured, including cell banks.
Soluble and insoluble processes. Cell line capabilities: E.coli, P.pastoris and other.
All clinical phases – Phase I to Phase III.

Track record in microbial production – Video

My experience with Biovian is based on one long-term project that includes both Drug Substances and Drug Products. Biovian has been a good partner. The project, comprising development and several technical and GMP batches, were on time and within budget over a period of 5-6 years – I believe that could be a world record!

Analytical services, QC, and safety assays

Analytical testing and analytical method development are a central part of Biovian’s CDMO services. Our team of experts develops and validates product-specific QC tests. Compendial specification analyses and QC tests for sterility, bioburden, and endotoxin, are routinely performed in-house. We also perform validation of microbiological product-specific assays.

Examples of product-specific assays

  • Concentration 
  • Identity
  • Purity
  • Impurity
  • Potency
  • Cell-based assays

Examples of compendial specification assays

  • Appearance 
  • pH
  • Osmolality
  • Sterility 
  • Visible and subvisible particles 
  • Clarity
  • Colour
  • Residual reagents

Examples of microbiological QC and safety assays 

  • Sterility testing
  • Bioburden (TAMC/TYMC)
  • Endotoxin testing
