Abzena, a contract manufacturer of biologics and antibody drug conjugates, has selected Sartorius Stedim Biotech as its preferred equipment supplier in the US.

Abzena has selected Sartorius Stedim to equip its integrated contract development and manufacturing organization facilities in Bristol, Pennsylvania (development and GMP manufacture of antibody drug conjugates) and San Diego, California (development and GMP manufacture of monoclonal antibodies and other recombinant proteins).

Sartorius Stedim will provide both facilities with end-to-end process solutions in single-use format. The company will equip Abzena’s San Diego process development lab with technologies such as Ambr250, which is expected to enable fast scale-up to 500 liters initially and later to the 2,000-liter scale single-use bioreactor for its center of excellence in clinical manufacturing.
