Biometics offers an experienced team of professionals incorporating the critical disciplines needed to meet current good manufacturing practices in the design of biopharmaceutical facilities. Our engineers and architects are specialists in the design of both clinical and licensed manufacturing. Our regulatory consultants provide assistance with early planning and cost-effective execution of the validation program.

Our biopharmaceutical experience covers a wide range of processes, associated facilities and critical utility systems. Our services range from master planning through completion of lump-sum, turn-key technically complex projects against tight budget and schedule targets. Our technical experience includes:

• Mammalian cell culture facilities
• Bacterial, fungal and algal fermentation plant
• Specialty and recombinant vaccines
• Medical device manufacturing
• Stem cell production
• Transgenics
• Gene therapy products
• Biomass conversion and specialty chemical plant
• Blood fractionation and processing facilities
• Clinical development laboratories
• High technology manufacturing plant
• Aseptic filling and lyophilization facilities

Biometics' biomass conversion projects include production of both "green" chemicals and advanced biofuels from renewable cellulosic raw materials. Involvement in the development of this technology has afforded Biometics engineering staff intensive hands-on experience in:

• Feasibility and economic assessment
• High pressure reaction engineering
• Raw materials handling and dust control
• Handling of concentrated acids and caustics
• Solvent handling and recovery systems
• Vacuum systems
• Evaporation
• Distillation and liquid extraction
• High strength waste treatment
