Protein manufacturing services

Therapure is highly experienced in protein scale up and cGMP manufacturing. When batch manufacturing starts, we encourage clients to be on-site, observing the manufacturing runs with us. Upon completion, we review the run with the client, going through every technical aspect of the batch records in order to fine tune the process for the next run.

Our protein manufacturing capabilities include:
