Sartorius Group has opened its laboratory building for biotechnology in Goettingen, Germany.
Guests from the business, scientific and political communities accepted ceo and executive board chairman Joachim Kreuzburg's invitation to Sartorius College to celebrate the opening.
After just eight months of construction, ultra-modern laboratories, pilot plant stations and offices have taken shape on five stories and covering a total area of some 3,000m2. With the new building, Sartorius is expanding its capacity for research and development in biotechnology by 60 percent.
In the laboratories of the new building, products and processes for the manufacture of biopharmaceuticals are to be developed. In particular, developers are working on innovative disposable technologies that will contribute toward making complex production processes of pharmaceutical and biotechnology customers faster, more efficient, safer and more reliable.
In addition to the new labs for cell culture technology and virology, a process-scale test station was built in which customer-specific applications can be tested and optimised.
