iBio, Inc introduced new cGMP sterile fill-finish capabilities for pharmaceutical products, including monoclonal antibodies, viral vectors, and other biologics.
Designed for clients with preclinical and clinical stage programs, the operation is housed in the Company’s 135,000 square foot CDMO facility located in Bryan, Texas.
“Providing Fill-Finish services is a natural extension of iBio’s FastPharmingTM biologics CDMO capabilities,” said Robert Kay, CEO. “Given our ability to quickly deliver GMP and research quantities of active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), the addition of the fillfinish operation completes our rapid, end-to-end service offering.”
The sterile liquid fill-finish operation will incorporate in-line labeling, allowing serialization of vials as they are filled. Initial capacity supports 100 – 2,500 vials runs, with plans to expand to 15,000. iBio will be presenting more details on its 5mL vial and 100mL bottle filling services at BIO 2019 in Philadelphia, PA, taking place June 3-6.
“We understand the needs of early stage companies, who often face moving targets for their timelines and support requirements,” commented Nicolas Taquet, Vice President, Biopharmaceutical Manufacturing. “It is often problematic trying to identify available capacity for high-quality, small volume filling. We’re now in position to fill that need for our clients.”
