They have a long history of developing cutting-edge technologies and solutions for the biotech industry.

The collaboration between ExcellGene and Capricorn Scientific is characterized by a clear path of responsibilities and a mutually beneficial approach: While ExcellGene focuses on optimizing cell clones and upstream processes, Capricorn Scientific specializes in production, commercial support, and distribution of media, feeds, and related products.

Their jointly developed upstream product for CHO cells, CHOventure, is especially for fedbatch processes and more than just a product. The strategy of CHOventure is highlighted by tailored support and direct communication for each customer project. Leveraging the expertise of both companies and direct contact partners, they aim to expedite the transition from research to clinical phases.
