Next to our core competence, the development of new research models and assays, we offer research services, products and instruments. Our different research activities have a synergistic influence on our work. From molecular biology to stainless steel constructions, we put things together to fulfill complex research projects.
preclinics’ headquarter is located in Potsdam, Germany, where the administration is located. The basic and preclinical research for human medicine is located in the Potsdam facility. There we have a modern BSL2 laboratory, where we are able to work with human blood and GMO. In our in vivo laboratory we have our imaging devices (x-ray + bioluminescence) and the Revolyzer unit for non-invasive examination. The experimental unit is equipped with devices for measuring physiological parameters (blood pressure, EMG, EKG grip strength etc.) and for anaesthesia and microsurgery. This is supported from the molecular biology lab with a cell culture cabinet equipped with flow cytometry and a bioanalytic unit for ELISA assays and PCR. As well we have our construction site for the research instruments in Potsdam.
In the center of Lower Saxony our preclinics research farm is resident. Here we breed New World camelids (llamas and alpacas), Merino sheep and the preclinics black belly sheep. Next to the breeding species other species like goats, rabbits, turkey and chickens are housed for immunization and production of fresh biological products. A special feature of this facility is the immunization of camelids such as llamas and alpacas for the production of heavy chain antibody fragments VHH.
At the Behring Campus Eystrup, the former Behringinstitute Eystrup, our veterinary research is located. There we have the facilities to house farm animals for veterinary projects. As well a part of the preclinics research farm is located on the 36000 sqm area. If you want to know more about the Behring Campus Eystrup please follow this link to get the BCE-Homepage: www.behringcampus.org
We also possess an Italian facility, highly specialized in VHH/nanobody selection and modification. In addition to being our bacterial/yeast production hub, an entire Phage Display lab has been set up to support our customers in their VHH projects. Besides selecting the best VHH candidates after immunization we are able to modify them for your research purposes conjugating them to Fc regions, reporter enzymes and fluorescent proteins.
