About Esco Aster

Esco Aster is a vertically-integrated contract research (CRO), contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) founded and deeply rooted by scientists enabling fellow scientists to translate their benchwork into life-saving diagnostics, medicines, therapies, cosmeceuticals, and cellular agriculture, at affordable prices for self-sufficiency of the country.

We make complex manufacturing simple via our proprietary best-in-class continuous manufacturing platforms providing a reliable and linearly scalable outcome with a track record of being used in 7 commercial human and animal health vaccines.

We continuously invest in meeting unmet clinical needs by unlocking manufacturing bottlenecks for current and new platform modalities.

Together, we are working on an interconnected one health approach to bring your next molecule into the clinic and life.

Join us for the world we are making redefining medicine for the current and future generations to come.

Esco Aster.
One World. One Health.

Our Offerings

Esco Aster provides variety of products and services based on best-in-class manufacturing platforms with focus on new modalities.

We aim to provide the highest yield lowest cost with linearly scalable quality to better promote healthcare access especially in the developing world, lower middle income countries.

Manufacturing Platforms

Our Adherent Cell Tide Motion® Platform forms the core of our process development (PD) / Clinical Trial Material (CTM) which is translational bridge to accelerate clinical/investigational medicinal products from bench to good laboratory practice (GLP), Phase 1 / 2 clinical trial material, intermediates and Phase 3 bridging studies when converting from roller bottles, microcarriers or multilayer 2D planar cultureware into Adherent Cell Tide Motion® Platform which is linearly scalable to commercial scale.

Our Products

Esco Aster is one of the earliest responders to Singapore COVID-19 self sufficiency across Diagnostics, Therapeutics and Vaccines.

See more on our dedicated COVID-19 page for our end to end trace, test and treat platforms. We are providing a variety of biopharma, bioscience to cell lines, drug substances and drug products as well.

COVID-19 Products

COVID-19 Products

In view of the current pandemic situation, Esco Aster is working together with its collaborators to develop a diagnostic and therapeutic platform against COVID-19. Also, Esco Aster espouses a Trace, Test, and Treat at decentralized community, ports and border level for our end-to-end level to actively diagnose and isolate to prevent community spread. Through these means, we have developed an end-to-end platform to diagnose and treat the disease.
Bioscience Tools

Bioscience Tools

We provide bioprocessing tools, focusing on adherent cell culture, to make human lives healthier and safer.
Biopharmaceutical Tools

Biopharmaceutical Tools

We provide specialist services, equipment packages, and process solutions from our core platform products. This leads to improved operator protection, reduction of cross contamination, and a more efficient biopharmaceutical processing.
Nasal Spray (COVID-19) Vaccine

Nasal Spray (COVID-19) Vaccine

We are simultaneously working on with various collaborators to advance the development and commercial-scale production of therapeutics and vaccines using our proprietary Adherent Tide Motion® technology.
Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs)

Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs)

We have the expertise for developing a robust and scalable process using continuous flow chemistry as well as modified batch process methods to combat the increasing complexity in API synthesis.
Cell Lines

Cell Lines

We work with you to provide cGMP compliant, high-producing, and stable cell lines for your protein of interest with desired post translational modifications (PTMs).
