About us
InVivo BioTech Services GmbH is a leading German contract manufacturing organization with more than 25 years of experience in mammalian cell culture and production of monoclonal antibodies and recombinant proteins.
With the headquarter and main production facility being located on the biotech campus in Hennigsdorf, InVivo also operates a smaller, second facility in the heart of Berlin, where history started more than two decades ago. Since its inception in 1998, the company has consistently grown over time and exhibits today approximately 2 500 square meters (~ 26 900 square feet) of laboratory and operational space.
In 2017 BRUKER Daltonics incorporated InVivo to gain a reliable partner for the production of in vitro diagnostic kits, biological standards and chemical matrices.
We offer a rich service portfolio
InVivo provides cost-effective outsourcing solutions through sophisticated production processes and a whole set of proprietary consumables and reagents.
The comprehensive service portfolio includes antibody development, subclass switches, small- to bulk-scale production, antibody sequencing and conjugation. A special focus lies on the production of recombinant antibodies and proteins via transient gene expression in mammalian HEK293 and CHO cells.
Furthermore, InVivo offers hybridoma and stable CHO cell line development, transfer of cell lines to serum-free media, low endotoxin level production, and cell banking. Further services include lyophilization, immunoassay development, DNA design and large-scale DNA preparation. This makes InVivo a one-stop solution for all your research needs.
