At our Hampton site, we manufacture Research, Toxicology and GMP-grade dbDNA™ as a critical starting material or Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient for Genetic Medicines. We are in the process of expanding our London-based manufacturing facilities to more than triple our manufacturing capacity, allowing us to deliver up to 1 kilogram of GMP dbDNA™ per month. (See details below.)

Large capacity, small footprint

We are in the process of expanding our London-based manufacturing facilities to more than triple our manufacturing capacity, allowing us to deliver up to 1 kilogram of GMP dbDNA™ per month. We anticipate our expanded facilities to be operational in Q2 2022.

Despite this huge capacity, which will enable us to deliver GMP dbDNA™ on a truly global scale, the small footprint of our benchtop equipment means the total facility footprint will be just 7,500 sq ft. This is a fraction of the space required by conventional bioreactor-based plasmid DNA manufacture.
