Downstream Biomanufacturing Services

An expert manufacturing partner for your biologics production.

Contracting the purification of your biologics with Novasep – your benefits

A unique set of expertise at your service

With Novasep, you benefit from our unique expertise acquired by our teams in both designing and using our innovative biochromatography and tangential flow technologies. As part of our global outsourcing solution, we ensure a smooth transfer of the process package from pilot/clinical production to our commercial biomanufacturing plant.

A time-efficient and cost-effective proposition from plant engineering to validation

Biopharmaceutical production processes always require specific equipment, process layout, and sometimes the building of a specific plant. As an example, within 24 months, we successfully performed the fast-track engineering and construction of our biomanufacturing plant in Pompey, France;  a 20 M€ facility equipped with 900 m² class C clean rooms for complex biopharmaceutical downstream processing.

A versatile track record

Through many projects, we have performed downstream processing such as :

• purification of monoclonal antibodies up to 750 g,
• inclusion body up to 100 L,
• human plasma up to 20 L,
• haemoglobin up to 100 L,
• vaccines up to 200 L,
• viral vector at 48CF10
• recombinant proteins up to 10 kg/year
• vaccine adjuvants :  multi-kilo scale workshop
