Recombinant Microbial

From Interferon Alpha to the cutting-edge of biotech

Your reliable partner for the manufacture of recombinant microbial products 

Sandoz gathered 25 years of experience with recombinant products. In 1980, we were one of the first companies to introduce industrial scale fermentation of Interferon Alpha. For more than 20 years we have been producing recombinant bovine somatropin for a US company in one of the largest manufacturing plants of this type worldwide.

Based on this know-how, today Sandoz is offering to our clients state-of-the-art production facilities for recombinant human and animal proteins as well as industrial enzymes. One of our core strengths is the microbial fermentation of recombinant organisms such as E.coli and  various yeasts. In this field we offer fermentation at scales of 1,300 L, 3,000 L, 13,000 L and 40,000 L.

Sandoz is engaged in a number of biotech cooperations, including among others  Monsanto, Henkel, UCB/Celltech and Scios/J&J. This substantial record of experience combined with state-of-the-art plants offers a unique opportunity to partners interested in manufacturing cooperations.
