Glycotope Biotechnology GmbH in Heidelberg, Germany, a full subsidiary of Berlin based Glycotope GmbH, has initiated the setup of further clean room facilities as a first step in the expansion of its GMP-production capacities.

By mid 2011, the company will thus be able to produce 4kg of recombinant antibodies per year and up to 11 kg upon completion of works towards the end of 2011. In sum, additional 1400 m² of facility and office space will be created.

The delighted Dr. Steffen Goletz, founder and CEO of Glycotope GmbH comments: “In particular the expansion of our DSP (Downstream Processing) capacities now places us among the top providers of GMP-production for recombinant proteins and in particular antibodies in Germany”.
