Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. has expanded its bioprocessing capabilities across Asia, reinforcing its commitment to supporting the region’s rapidly growing biopharmaceutical industry.

The company is introducing a new Bioprocess Design Center in Hyderabad, India, and has expanded its existing Bioprocess Design Centers in Incheon, Korea and Singapore, further strengthening a strategic regional network designed to enhance speed, efficiency and sustainability in biomanufacturing.

Asia is an emerging global hub for biopharmaceutical innovation, driven by increased demand for biologics, vaccines and cell and gene therapies. Thermo Fisher’s continued investment across the region supports this growth, enabling customers with access to world-class technologies, expertise and localized support to accelerate the delivery of life-changing therapies.

Thermo Fisher’s tri-hub network connects leading Bioprocess Design Centers in Incheon, Hyderabad and Singapore, accelerates process development, and brings Thermo Fisher’s expertise closer to customers throughout Asia.

  • Incheon, Korea: The newly expanded Bioprocess Design Center empowers deeper collaboration and innovation through advanced materials, technologies, and enhanced lab capabilities.
  • Hyderabad, India (Genome Valley): The new Bioprocess Design Center, developed in partnership with the Government of Telangana, offers collaborative spaces for process design, simulation and optimization. It enables customers to co-create and test bioprocesses using the latest single-use and hybrid systems, advancing India’s rapidly growing biomanufacturing ecosystem.
  • Singapore: This expanded facility provides access to bench-to-pilot scale bioprocessing, expert-led training and deep collaborations with Thermo Fisher’s technical teams to scale early-stage processes, supporting flexible and sustainable biomanufacturing.

Together, these centers ensure customers have direct access to innovation, training and technical expertise, enabling agility, scalability and faster time to market for biologics production.

Thermo Fisher delivers breakthrough technologies across next-generation sequencing, mass spectrometry and advanced bioprocessing systems. The company’s end-to-end capabilities span life sciences, diagnostics, analytical instruments and pharma services, empowering customers throughout the biopharma value chain.

“Through advanced manufacturing, strategic partnerships and targeted regional investments, we are redefining what is possible in biologics production,” said Tony Acciarito, President, Asia Pacific and Middle East, Africa at Thermo Fisher Scientific. “We are proud to contribute to the transformation of Asia’s biopharma ecosystem and help our customers bring life-changing therapies to patients across Asia and beyond.”

Next Generation SequencingNext-generation sequencing (NGS), also known as whole-genome sequencing, high-throughput sequencing and massive parallel sequencing, produces and analyses thousands to millions of nucleotide sequences at once. Sequencing systems operate via varying technologies depending on the manufacturer, including sequencing by synthesis, ligation, pyrosequencing, ion semiconductor and single-molecule real-time sequencing. For NGS, library preparation is paramount to successful sequencing. In this section, explore a range of library preparation kits, from targeted, amplicon-based or hybridization-based kits including epigenomic, transcriptomic and genomic workflows to fragmentation kits. Find the best next-generation sequencing products in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Mass SpectrometryMass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful analytical technique used to identify and quantify molecules based on the mass-to-charge ratio of gas-phase ions. It provides detailed information about the structure, composition, and properties of compounds and is widely used across fields such as environmental monitoring, materials science, drug discovery and development, food and beverage testing, and wider chemical research. Key MS techniques include tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LS-MS) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS). Choosing from these wide range of techniques and technologies can be a daunting task, so keep up to date with scientific applications, performance expectations, and customer reviews here all in one place.
