Sartorius collaborates with Sanofi to
Commercialization of end-to-end platform for downstream process intensification
Sartorius is committing to the rapid development of hardware, consumables and process automation for diverse applications and volumes from development to commercial scale. As part of the collaboration and license agreement, Sartorius will exclusively commercialize the ICB platform offering to customers worldwide.
“Technological innovation is crucial for biopharmaceutical companies to significantly reduce the cost of drug manufacturing - while improving the environmental footprint of their operations – and ultimately getting life-saving drugs to patients faster. As the biologics landscape becomes more diverse, teaming up with Sanofi is an excellent basis for developing a unique modular platform that combines flexibility with the advantages of intensified bioprocessing. This collaboration will help Sartorius to further expand its position as a leading company in the field of integrated and continuous bioprocessing,” said Jan Schäfer, Head of Separation Systems at Sartorius.
Integrated continuous biomanufacturing is an advanced approach to the production of biopharmaceuticals. The concept aims to maximize efficiency by enabling uninterrupted and steady materials flow, as opposed to traditional batch methods, and by integrating multiple unit operations into a lean process setup. ICB reduces the overall process footprint, leading to lower raw material and energy consumption, higher productivity, and less waste.
