Germfree Laboratories, Inc. was founded in the United States in 1962, to manufacture isolators for gnotobiotic or ‘germfree’ research. In the 1970’s Germfree added additional lines of biosafety equipment to include the Class II and Class III Biological Safety Cabinets. In the 1980’s we added laminar flow cleanroom equipment for hospital pharmacy and radiopharmaceutical IV compounding. Germfree has delivered aseptic and hazardous drug compounding systems to 40% of the hospital pharmacies in the US with units also being shipped globally. We have built a reputation for engineering and manufacturing durable and reliable products. Germfree currently maintains units that have been in continuous operation for over 40 years. Our isolators and laminar flow technology are utilized by many of the top 10 Pharmaceutical and Biotech firms for production and lab applications.
Determination and courageous character of our people delivers our mission.
Accountability for every action and ownership for every result.
Innovative spirit of our diverse team drives our competitive edge.
Endless drive to respect our clients and each other.
Germfree provides custom specialty systems for applications where the standard ‘commercial off the shelf’ (COTS) product offerings are not suitable
Over the past 16 years, Germfree expanded its operations to develop and implement ground-breaking technology, paving the way for new mobile and modular laboratory systems. In 1999, Germfree entered this arena, collaborating with the US Army at ECBC (Edgewood Chemical and Biological Center) to design ruggedized Class III BSCs and Biological & Chemical Filtration systems. Germfree continued to innovate new technologies through the CRADA (Cooperative Research and Development Agreements) program.
The biopharmaceutical industry is implementing new methods for the broadening pipeline of emerging therapies. There is a call for specialized and flexible cGMP-compliant space. Many biopharma applications simply require small-scale, preclinical process areas and cleanrooms. For biotech startups, readily available facilities are an ideal solution for the early stages of drug development. Biopharmaceutical companies also benefit from bioprocessing space that can be repurposed as production is ramped up to later phases. To meet these demands Germfree developed its line of BioGO Mobile and Modular Adaptive Bioproduction Suites.
"I like working at Germfree because people are willing to help each other grow so we can be successful and continue to allow Germfree to provide great products to the world. There is also so much comradery and support for one another, and that works because we are a TEAM. We all have the same end goal."
"Germfree has grown tremendously in the 6 years I have been a part of the team in both sales, personnel, and atmosphere. It is the unique friendly atmosphere that has allowed my team to thrive. Coworkers take the time to sit down and explain processes and procedures of the past to help the next generation of engineers create the future."
All aspects of a project are done in-house. Our leading-edge fabrication technology, engineering teams and subject-matter experts are located at our 173,000 square foot (16,000 square meter) environmentally controlled US manufacturing plant. Germfree provides a single-source OEM solution. This allows our mobile, modular and cleanroom projects to be operational in a fraction of the time required for traditional construction.
It is the dedication of the Germfree team that enables rapid deployment of critical infrastructure both to cutting edge research facilities and the front lines of global health security.
Germfree’s systems are used to meet the rigorous standards for complex biocontainment applications such as early stage vaccine development.
