Custom Protein Manufacturing Service
Capitalise on innovative ideas using 25 years of protein expertise
BBI Solutions has over 25 years’ expertise working with customers and partners to develop and manufacture high quality proteins for a diverse range of applications with our Custom Protein Service.
The development of new raw materials is often perceived to be a lengthy and expensive process. However, we’ve learnt from our customers that the cost of developing and manufacturing in house can often outweigh the cost of outsourcing.
A flexible offering for customers looking to outsource the development of new, improved or existing products, BBI’s custom protein service delivers a protein development solution suited to your individual budget, application and required level of development.
A dedicated development team
By choosing to outsource your development work to BBI, our experienced team can develop your bespoke request using a design control matrix and produce a fully quantified and validated protein. This work is carried out in state of the art laboratories with next generation equipment to provide you with a protein to your exact requirements.
Why outsource to BBI?

Proven technologies and quality processes deliver consistent, stable products, and maximum value and yield on raw materials with batch sizes ranging from 100ug to gram quantities.
Quality -
A service from a company focused on quality and underpinned by stringent quality assurance procedures in compliance with ISO 9001 and ISO13485.
Network –
With a network of global labs and hospitals we can access many diverse testing platforms, providing you with the exact analysis results you need.
Secure supply -
We have over 25 years’ experience sourcing human biologicals at our HTA approved site; you can be confident in a secure supply.
Our development process
BBI Solutions offers a flexible service at every stage of the development process. From providing trial batches for validation to long term manufacture, we aim to produce a product to your exact requirements.
Feasibility – The process would typically start with the Research & Development (R&D) team and various formulations and processes would be generated to arrive at a feasibility prototype product. During this stage a sound understanding of the critical process parameters would be gained in order to develop a robust process capable of consistently preparing a material of the required specification.
Development – Design optimisation of materials and processes and formulations are finalised. Our R&D and technical personnel are experts in full-scale manufacture and this helps us to ensure a smooth transfer to the manufacturing environment.
Verification – We conduct a variety of routine protein analyses such as enzyme assays, protein determinations, analytical chromatography, SDS PAGE. We work closely with you our customer in developing protocols to ensure optimised yields of the highest quality.
Validation – The process and product is fully validated according to regulatory approval guidelines.
New Product Development - We are continuously striving to improve our existing portfolio and use our expertise in developing both native and recombinant proteins. We have a range of novel biomarkers for you to sample for evaluation.
