Solvias, a leading provider of laboratory testing services, has announced plans to expand its global network with a new biotech site in Research Triangle Park, N.C. The 50,000-square-foot facility is expected to be completed in 2025 and will bring over 170 jobs to the Raleigh-Durham area.
The new site will serve as Solvias’ North American hub for large molecule analytical services. It will offer critical cell-based potency assays, advanced Next-Gen Sequencing (NGS) capabilities, and related testing services supporting multiple biologic modalities. From the outset, the new testing center will support characterization and release testing of CGT and other advanced therapies, including Adeno-Associated virus (AAV) gene therapies, mRNA therapies and antibody drug conjugates.
Archie Cullen, CEO of Solvias, said: “Our new center strongly complements our biologics and CGT sites in Europe and expands our world-class testing capabilities in the U.S. Our team is thrilled to bring our newest center of excellence to Research Triangle Park, a leading research and development center and burgeoning hub for the life science industry. We will continue to invest in expanding our capabilities to support our customers with their critical work of developing and maintaining life-changing therapies.”
The new facility will expand Solvias’ global footprint to six centers of excellence. It is the company’s second site in the U.S., where it supports life science organizations with analytical testing. The new center will feature state-of-the-art analytical instrumentation, laboratory automation technology and integrated digital management systems.
