We produce cGMP plasmid and endonucleases in our segregated ISO-classified manufacturing suites equipped with independent air handling systems and unidirectional airflow, managed by best-in-class electronic systems to ensure the highest quality product. Our cGMP process uses up to 200L single-use fermenters to meet the industry's growing needs.
