About excellgene

ExcellGene SA is an established, science and technology driven Service Provider to the Pharma/Biotech industry. It pioneered innovative technologies resolving problems of expression and manufacture of recombinant proteins from mammalian cells. ExcellGene's technologies cover vectors, gene transfer systems, cell hosts, screening platforms for cells and processes, scale-up principles and bioreactors.
Nearly one hundred customers all over the world have been satisfied with ExcellGene's services.

ExcellGene provides superior solutions for protein manufacturing processes based on mammalian cells. We offer services to industry and academic institutions whereby we assist in all steps that are necessary to move a DNA "concept" to the reality as a purified protein.

ExcellGene has been the innovative driver and developer for cell culture equipment and tools that have been successfully marketed by ExcellGene's partners Kühner AG (incubator shakers), TPP (TubeSpin® High Trough-Put Bioreactor, PCV tube - biomass determination) and Sartorius-Stedim (Cultiflask 50plus). Additional highly innovative technologies and instruments are in development, such as the Orb-Shake bioreactor 200 (50-200 Liter working volume) and the Orb-Shake bioreactor 1500 (300-1500 Liter working volume).

The application of shaken bioreactors for cell cultivation has increased enormously in the last eight years. These bioreactors are used for the expression (transient and stable) of recombinant proteins in drug and diagnostic research. Extensive tests demonstrate their potential in terms of performance, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness when compared with more conventional technologies.
