Repligen Completes Consumables Expansion
Repligen Corporation, a supplier of consumables for bioprocessing, has completed an 11,000-square foot expansion of its manufacturing facility in Waltham, Massachusetts. The expansion includes a dedicated space for the production and assembly of Repligen’s Alternating Tangential Flow (ATF) System, the most recent addition to the company's upstream bioprocessing product portfolio.
The ATF System is a product line used to increase cell density and product yield during the fermentation step of the biologic drug manufacturing process. The expansion includes areas for ATF System assembly, quality control, and inventory, as well as cleanroom suites for the production of single-use ATF Systems in an ISO 7 environment.
The facility upgrade also expands on areas dedicated to cell-culture research and development as well as manufacturing and support of the company's ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) test kits and its OPUS line of pre-packed chromatography columns. An additional 7,500 square feet is reserved for future expansion of the Waltham facility.
