The Laboratories

+ 3 000 m²

RD-Biotech is at your disposal to meet your needs and optimize your research.

With a very wide technological versatility and a complete technical platform, with more than 1,500 m2 of independent laboratories meeting the most stringent standards, RD-BIOTECH is able to intervene during the different stages of your research projects.

Independent and dedicated laboratories, for each laboratory activity.

In April 2021, RD-Biotech integrated its new laboratories located in the Temis Santé technological park in Besançon (France).
This new site includes the technical platforms for molecular biology, immunology, cell culture and antibody engineering, as well as biomanufacturing rooms dedicated to the production of R&D quality batches but also batches in GMP like / High Quality grade.

RD-Biotech has also laboratories in Saint Genis Laval (69 – France) dedicated to the analysis, expression and purification of recombinant proteins.

In 2023, opening of a new GMP-grade pDNA biomanufacturing facility in Besançon to meet the growing needs for DNA, an essential raw material for cell and gene therapies.

mAbexperts group

RD-Biotech is part of mAbexperts (Biotech Investissement holding): A group of companies expert in antibody engineering and Biotechnology:

discover the group

In September 2018: Entry of Biotech Investissement in the capital of QVQ Holding, a company based in Utrecht (Netherlands).

QVQ holding, founded in 2010, has internationally recognized expertise in phage display development of antibody fragments (VHH) derived from llama antibodies.

VHHs have unique physicochemical properties due to their small size and high stability, making them very valuable tools in various applications, especially in vivo imaging. QVQ offers its expertise for the development of VHH on a contract basis. In addition to the services, QVQ offers a range of exclusive and high quality VHH, specific to biomarkers linked to oncology, aging or even infectious diseases.

By joining the Biotech Investissement group, QVQ consolidates an already well-established expertise in the fields of antibody engineering, by adding VHH and phage display expertise. Thanks to this set of know-how, we are convinced that we can provide you with the best strategy in your antibody development projects.

2019: Entry into the capital of SMALTIS SAS, a company based in Besançon (France).

Founded in 2014, SMALTIS has solid expertise in Microbiology and unique experience in Bacterial Genetics.

By joining the mAbexperts group, SMALTIS consolidates an already well-established expertise in the fields of BIOPRODUCTION and related quality controls, by adding Microbiological and Bacterial Genetic Engineering expertise.
