AGC Biologics Completes Copenhagen Campus Expansion, Doubling Single-use Mammalian Bioreactor Capacity at Site

Published

on

–News Direct–

AGC Biologics, a leading global Biopharmaceutical Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (CDMO), today announced at BIO International the completion of its new manufacturing building at the AGC Biologics Copenhagen campus. The completed work doubles the sites single-use bioreactor capacity for mammalian services and allows it to produce 150 more batches of drug product each year.

The expansion adds 19,000 m2 of space in an ultramodern building that houses a large manufacturing floor, expanded quality control and process development lab space, utilities to support all operations and prevent outages caused by natural disasters, and a fully dedicated warehouse to serve the entire AGC Biologics Copenhagen campus.

The new AGC Biologics Copenhagen manufacturing building is already in production with its first customer, a phase II/III clinical product. AGC Biologics announced the planned expansion in November 2020, investing roughly $200 million into the work.

One-of-a-kind single-use manufacturing offering

The new manufacturing area offers 8 x 2,000 L single-use bioreactors with two seed trains, as well as two independent downstream suites [CW1] more than doubling the existing capacity offered at this site for mammalian-based projects.

AGC Biologics Copenhagen is now one of the only sites in the world with multiple single-use bioreactor systems of this magnitude capable of producing batches at high-levels of clinical and commercial production. Further, for developers needing to transfer in an existing process, AGC Biologics Copenhagens multiple single-use suites give the site greater flexibility to take on technical transfers and perform like-for-like process and knowledge activities for products entering the facility, eliminating lag time associated with onboarding a new CDMO.

AGC Biologics has been a leader in single-use technology over the last decade, and it is one of the largest CDMO networks in the industry offering flexible and scalable single-use bioreactors systems.

The news comes after AGC Biologics announced an end-to-end protein biologics drug product partnership with Dutch-based BioConnection in late May. The alliance provides a secure and full-service gene-to-vial offering for biopharma developers with drug substance development, manufacturing and aseptic fill and finish capabilities for drug products.

AGC Biologics Copenhagen site continues to be one of the most active in our network with all the necessary commercial approvals FDA, EMA, HCA, PMDA, ANVISA etc. and we are more than happy to offer the capacity and capabilities our current and future customers will look for with this completed expansion, said Christoph Winterhalter, CBO, AGC Biologics. The expansion, combined with our new drug product alliance, demonstrates AGC Biologics agility to meet all the needs developers may have, from pre-clinical through commercial.

AGC Biologics Copenhagen site core teams of scientists have more than 25 years of expertise in biopharmaceutical development and manufacturing, including seven commercial products brought to market. The site offers pre-clinical through commercial production for protein biologics services using mammalian and microbial systems. It has a gold EcoVadis Sustainability Rating for its environmental, health and sustainability practices.

I am extremely proud of the work and collaboration of everyone at our site over the last several years, it is truly remarkable to see what we can accomplish by working together. We are eager to offer more of the important capabilities the industry is looking for to support patients in need, said Andrea C. Porchia, General Manager, AGC Biologics Copenhagen.

OSCP, Based in Montreal, Canada, Launches Two Groundbreaking Products Disrupting the Inertial Measurement Unit Industry

Published

on

OSCP, a rising force in the inertial measurement unit (IMU) sector, is making waves with the introduction of two new products designed to redefine accuracy and cost-efficiency in the rapidly expanding field of IMU and MEMS technologies. The company’s innovations promise to fuel the advancement of autonomous systems across industries such as robotics, drones, aerospace, heavy machinery, and agriculture.
OSCP, Based in Montreal, Canada, Launches Two Groundbreaking Products Disrupting the Inertial Measurement Unit Industry

The MK2E: A Packaged IMU Offering Tactical Grade Accuracy

OSCP’s first groundbreaking product is the MK2E, an IMU using an optical gyroscope that is designed to deliver tactical-grade accuracy and capacity to meet navigation grade in the pipeline. Built with the highest standards in mind, the MK2E is a game-changer for applications that demand precision in environments with dynamic or challenging operating conditions.

 MK2E

Whether used in autonomous vehicles, defense, or aerospace, the MK2E’s performance stands out, offering exceptional reliability and durability while remaining cost-effective vs similar performing products. This IMU is engineered to provide top-tier measurement performance in even the most demanding environments, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible for high-performance sectors.

The MK2M: A Revolutionary Product Using Redundant Gyroscopes for GPS-Denied Environments

The second innovation from OSCP is the MK2M, a cutting-edge inertial measurement system. IMUs are at the heart of autonomous systems, enabling critical functions such as positioning, navigation, control, and motion sensing. Specifically designed for environments where GPS signals are unavailable or unreliable, the MK2M delivers a high degree of accuracy that is three times greater than that of similar products on the market. Its redundant gyroscopes enhance fault tolerance and help mitigate sensor drift, ensuring consistent angular rate measurements for precision navigation and control. This product is a game-changer for industries such as autonomous robotics and drones, where accurate positioning and navigation are critical even when traditional GPS-based solutions are not viable.

The MK2M: A Revolutionary Product Using Redundant Gyroscopes for GPS-Denied Environments

What sets the MK2M apart is its ability to offer this advanced accuracy at a competitive cost. This makes it an attractive solution for companies in sectors like robotics, agriculture and drones, which often struggle with the high costs associated with traditional high-precision measurement systems. By providing a robust solution for GPS-denied environments, the MK2M is set to empower the next generation of autonomous technologies and applications.

Expanding Opportunities in Autonomous Industries

As industries increasingly shift toward automation, the demand for high-performance, cost-efficient IMUs is surging. OSCP’s new products, the MK2E and MK2M, are poised to be the key enablers of this transition. The company’s technologies are already garnering attention from top players in industries that depend heavily on precise motion tracking.
