GenScript Biotech Corporation, a leading tools and services provider for life-science research, recently announced the expansion of its Singapore facility to provide a high-quality gene synthesis service. This expansion has added 976 square meters to the facility, bringing its total size to 3,500 square meters, making it the third-largest facility for GenScript globally. This development will also increase the staff at the Singapore facility to 150.
In February 2022, GenScript Asia-Pacific opened a recombinant protein production facility, which will now offer an advanced gene synthesis service. This expansion is a significant step towards GenScript's aim to provide top-notch services required for novel vaccine and therapeutic development in the life-sciences field.
The Singapore facility uses modernized, automated workstations that can synthesize more than 400 genes daily, ensuring precise measurement, eliminating human error, and providing a consistently high-quality product. The new facility's goal is to decrease project turnaround time for a more global mix of clients while maintaining customer data security. The new facility's capacity is dedicated to gene and cell therapy research and vaccine development programs.
GenScript's Life Science Group President, Dr. Ray Chen, commented, "We understand that global supply is a huge challenge, and we remain committed to expanding our reach to meet the increasing demand for our customers worldwide. At GenScript, we take great pride in our ability to provide reliable and efficient solutions to our customers, and we are fully committed to delivering on this promise. As we continue to expand our global footprint, we remain dedicated to providing the highest-quality products and services to our customers, wherever they may be located."
