Flexible From the Start
A Tailored Approach to Cell Line Development
Bringing a biologic to market depends on smart cell line development strategies. You need to balance the control and speed of an in-house solution with the convenience and flexibility of outsourcing. Sartorius offers a suite of innovative products and services that can be tailored to your operation. Whether you need instruments, consulting, or development and testing services, partnering with Sartorius can accelerate your cell line development and ensure a smooth transition to commercial manufacturing.
Choose just the right products and services to complement your core strengths
Leverage the right people and products when and where you need them
A single-vendor approach simplifies management and administrative activities
Producing biologics is complex, and cell line development is no exception — tight timelines, constant cost pressure, and time-to-market are top of mind. Starting with customizable solutions from Sartorius gives you the flexibility to select what’s right for your therapeutic development.
Cell line development is vital to biologics manufacturing, but the journey is time-consuming, expensive, and requires dedicated expertise.

Cell line development is a complex process, requiring consistency and reproducible results. Sartorius offers a ready-to-use solution with all of the necessary components for customers who prefer to develop cell lines and express their proteins of interest in their own facilities. The CLD Technology License is based on the industry-leading Cell Line Development Technology and uses CHO DG44 host cells. Because the technology license eliminates the need for further development or optimization, it significantly reduces development time and costs.
