GMP-grade enzymes for biotherapeutics manufacturing

Ensure product purity, consistency and GMP-compliant workflows – from process development to commercialization.

Our GMP-grade enzymes* are specifically developed for regulated biopharmaceutical applications, offering end-to-end quality control, full traceability and scalability from early development through clinical and commercial manufacturing.

Manufactured in GMP-compliant, ISO-certified facilities, our enzymes support your drug development pipeline with the performance and compliance needed for clinical and commercial success. Whether you’re developing biologics, cell and gene therapies or mRNA-based therapeutics, we provide enzyme solutions you can trust.

Start with our Molecular Biology Grade (MBG) enzymes, engineered to match the performance profile of GMP-grade counterparts to reduce revalidation efforts and accelerate your path to market. In addition to our GMP-grade enzymes, we offer flexible, on-demand enzyme manufacturing services to meet your production timelines and scale requirements.

*Disclaimer for Drug Manufacturers

“GMP-grade” is a marketing term used by QIAGEN for enzymes manufactured in compliance with established quality standards, including ISO 13485, US QSR (21 CFR 820) and ISO 9001. These enzymes are biopharma-suitable, meet stringent purity requirements and are free from animal-origin materials (AOF) used in the manufacturing processes and final product. They are produced in a dedicated lane and with AOF-compliant equipment. The “GMP-grade” enzymes do not contain beta-lactam antibiotics and have low endotoxin and bioburden levels. When incorporated into drug manufacturing processes, they are considered ‘inactive ingredients’ and are not intended to remain in the final drug product. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure the safety and compliance of the final end-use product, including adherence to all relevant legal and regulatory requirements, as well as to verify that the enzymes perform and function as specified.
