Contract R&D in industrial biotechnology: from strain development to pilot batch

General Manager at BiCT srl

Lodi, Italy

About

BiCT runs contract R&D projects in industrial biotechnology, structured as proof of concept, optimisation or industrialisation depending on where the process already stands. We work on microbial strain development, heterologous expression, mutagenesis, CHO cell line development, strain identification and banking; on fermentation process development from shake flasks up to 100 L; on bioconversion and enzyme immobilisation; and on purification, formulation and stabilisation, with analytical methods developed alongside. Equipment includes Applikon and Biostream fermenters, AKTA purification systems, preparative HPLC and UPLC with diode array, fluorescence and refractive index detection. Deliverables are a protocol, a strain, a technical dossier or a pilot batch, whichever the next step requires. Everything is done under confidentiality; results and IP stay with the client.
