Celonic Integrates Merck’s Breez Micro-Bioreactor Platform Into Its Process Development Operations

Celonic Group, a Swiss-based CDMO, is integrating Merck’s Breez™ micro-bioreactor platform into its process development operations. This addition will further enhance Celonic’s capabilities in monoclonal antibody (mAb) development and manufacturing by enabling highly efficient, scalable perfusion-based bioprocessing from early-stage development to large-scale manufacturing, according to Samanta Cimitan, PhD, CEO of the Celonic Group.

The Breez 2 mL micro-bioreactor platform is a fully automated, functionally closed, and continuous perfusion cell culture system. By incorporating Breez into its process development, Celonic aims to accelerate upstream process optimization while reducing cost of goods per gram and increasing operational efficiency, continued Cimitan.

“This technology integration marks a significant milestone in our pursuit of innovative bioprocessing solutions,” Cimitan said. “By leveraging the Breez platform, we can enhance our ability to develop and manufacture biologics with the aim of increasing productivity, reducing the cost of goods per gram ultimately benefiting our clients and patients worldwide.”
