Most of the equipment is in as-new condition, as the production facility never became operational
LEIDEN, Netherlands, 4 September 2026 – An extensive range of advanced biopharmaceutical manufacturing equipment from an approximately 12,000-square-metre facility at Leiden Bio Science Park is being auctioned internationally through Troostwijk Auctions.
The equipment comes from a facility designed for the commercial GMP manufacturing of vaccines, viral vectors, and cell and gene therapies. As the facility never became operational, most of the equipment offered is in as-new condition. The auction therefore provides pharmaceutical companies, CDMOs, biotechnology companies, research institutions, and other industry participants with an opportunity to acquire modern, specialised bioprocessing equipment.
Extensive range covering the biopharmaceutical production chain
The online auction includes equipment from leading international manufacturers for biomanufacturing, aseptic filling, sterilisation, quality control, refrigerated storage, and other applications.
Key lots include:
• a Syntegon aseptic filling line with isolator
• Cytiva XDR bioreactors and ÄKTAready systems
• a Getinge isolator and autoclaves from Zirbus and Fedegari
• an extensive range of quality control laboratory equipment
• environmental monitoring systems
• ultra-low-temperature storage units and technical utility systems
“This is not a conventional laboratory inventory. It comprises specialised equipment for multiple stages of the production process, from bioprocessing and aseptic filling to quality control, sterilisation, and refrigerated storage. The combination of scale, technical specialisation, and the condition of the equipment makes this an exceptional auction,” says Martijn van Schie, Industry Account Manager at Troostwijk Auctions.
Accessible to both large and specialised buyers
The equipment is offered as individual lots, enabling both major pharmaceutical and industrial companies and smaller specialised industry participants to take part in the auction. Through Troostwijk Auctions’ international platform, the assets are being brought to the attention of prospective buyers across Europe, North America, and other parts of the world.
