Founded in Austin, OriGen Biomedical makes a variety of products for cryopreservation and cell culture. The company produces freezing bags used to cool and store biological materials, as well as bags used to protect and store cells and tissues.
The 82,000-square-foot facility more than doubles the company’s previous footprint, according to a news release. The space features 6,600 square feet of cleanroom space, a sterile fill suite, modern manufacturing infrastructure, and expanded office and collaboration areas.
