MANUFACTURING BIOCATALYSIS-BASED PRODUCTS
GALAB Biotechnology
GALAB is an independent research and contract laboratory for bioanalytics as well as a manufacturer of biocatalysis-based products for the biopharmaceutical and food industries. Our mission is to provide innovative, high-quality products and services for the benefit and added value of our customers. We are a purely private and internationally expanding company with annual growth-average of 10% over the last 10 years. GALAB consistently invests its profits in research and development of new technologies as a basis for further growth and is open to research collaborations.

GALAB develops production processes for human milk oligosaccharides (HMO)
The human milk oligosaccharides contained in breast milk stimulate the immune and digestive systems, protect against diseases, and contribute to healthy development. The production is not feasible via conventional synthesis routes. Thus, GALAB is passionate about making HMOs and their beneficial effects available by new biotechnological production processes, at low cost and in high availability for the growing global market.

We offer the full spectrum of process development for biotechnological products
To master the challenge of multi-step reactions in the production of human milk oligosaccharides and other valuable products, we apply a combination of in vitro multi-enzyme cascades and whole cell biocatalysis. For this purpose, our R&D department combines comprehensive competences ranging from strain development to a scaled bio- and downstream process and final product quality control. Our scalable processes achieve high space-time yields and excellent product quality. They are equally suited to obtain products for experimental research or to purify them on an industrial production scale.

Our biotechnological competencies:
- Production and analytics of HMOs and other fine chemicals (e.g., hyaluronic acid)
- Applying Metabolic Engineering and Synthetic Biology to design new whole-cell biocatalysts and to solve catalytic bottlenecks
- Integration of multi-enzyme pathways in strains with GRAS status required for the food industry
- Providing pure and stable recombinant enzymes through high cell density fermentation, efficient chromatography, and conservation
- Development of cost-effective multi enzyme cascades with cofactor regeneration systems and high enzyme stability through immobilization
- Kinetic characterization, inhibition, and stability studies of biocatalytic processes
- Process design in different rector types (e.g., continuous operations in plug flow reactors with immobilized enzymes)
- Development of downstream processes with chromatographic methods, separations, filtrations, and drying processes
- Modelling of fermentation processes and enzyme cascades
About GALAB Laboratories:
GALAB at its heart is also an independent service laboratory for external quality control. We analyze and evaluate food, food packaging, sanitary products, industrial products, biopharmaceutical products or the environment for substances or contaminants. The analytical spectrum currently features more than 5000 single substances and more than 1000 different analytical methods. We analyze over 1 million samples per year from all over the world.

GALAB Biotechnology research topics:
GlycoBiokat –
GALAB Researches Human Milk Oligosaccharides
Glycans are complex oligosaccharides usually bound to proteins (glycoproteins) or present in their free form like in breast milk (prebiotics). The growing number of studies shows the significance of glycans as biotherapeutic, immunomodulators, vaccines and food supplements.
