Products and Solutions for Vaccine Development in Virus Outbreaks
For the last decade, Sartorius has collaborated with biopharmaceutical companies to help manufacture vaccines for infectious disease outbreaks and pandemics like Ebola, Zika, and H1N1. The COVID-19 pandemic has allowed us to build on this foundation — and learn even more about pandemic preparedness.
We learned the importance of dedicated partnerships among various industry stakeholders. We also learned that disruptive technologies, such as mRNA vaccines, are essential to respond with agility — and to deliver life-saving vaccines today and beyond.
Sartorius stands ready to help our customers reimagine their businesses — so they can, in turn, deliver the next generation of life-saving vaccines.
Learnings From the Pandemic
Our vaccine experts Amélie Boulais and Piergiuseppe Nestola talk about trending topics around COVID-19 and what to consider for future pandemics.

Partnering to Shape Agile Vaccine Development
Vaccine Development Platforms
Preparing for the next pandemic will take multiple vaccine platforms, including traditional and emerging technologies. Our interactive process flow diagrams allow you to explore the challenges, and Sartorius’ solutions, for:
- Virus-based vaccines, including inactivated viral vaccines and live-attenuated viral vaccines
- Viral vector vaccines, based on enveloped and non-enveloped vectors, as well as other commonly used vectors
- Nucleic acid vaccines, either plasmid DNA or a messenger RNA molecule coding for a disease-specific antigen (such as the mRNA vaccine for COVID-19 coding for the spike protein on the SARS-CoV-2 virus)
- Recombinant protein vaccines, which consist of viral or bacterial antigen produced using recombinant technology
Applying Lessons Learned From COVID-19 to Biologics Manufacturing
The industry’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic proved the importance of collaboration to reimagine vaccine development. Sartorius can help you:
- Reduce risk associated with implementing next-generation vaccine platforms
- Focus attention and resources on target viruses that have the potential to create pandemics
- Gain flexibility to increase product capacity and decrease time to market
Unlock the Potential Of the mRNA Vaccine Platform
mRNA vaccines are positioned to revolutionize the industry, simplifying development and increasing manufacturing speed. Our vaccine specialists can help you:
- Explore mRNA vaccines as a true platform that can produce vaccines against multiple unmet clinical needs
- Use innovative technology platforms to decrease footprint while increasing efficiency and throughput
- Optimize next-generation vaccines for regulatory approvals
Future-Proof Your Vaccine Development and Manufacturing Programs
The industry must increase its agility and flexibility if we are to be prepared for the next pandemic.
- Adopt single-use technologies to increase operational flexibility and efficiency while reducing capital infrastructure costs
- Focus early on process understanding to ensure rapid manufacturing scale-up
- Build flexible facilities dedicated to vaccine production, capable of rapid response to a pandemic
