American Marconi Wireless News - Bora Biologics Selected to Develop, Scale Up, and Supply RAPClot(TM) Protein Supporting Terumo's Japan Launch of RAPClot Blood Collection Tubes

SAN DIEGO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / September 14, 2026 / Bora Biologics, a U.S.-anchored biologics contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) built for licensed supply, today announced that it has entered into a long-term supply agreement to provide recombinant RAPClot™ protein for Q Sera Pty Ltd. The agreement supports Q Sera's commercialization pathway with Terumo Corporation for the Japan launch of VenoJect^® II RAPClot blood collection tubes, marking the first commercial introduction of Q Sera's patented RAPClot technology.

Bora Biologics was initially selected to support the development and scale-up of RAPClot based on its proprietary cell line capabilities, recombinant protein manufacturing expertise, and ability to meet Q Sera's yield and production requirements. Successful scale-up to commercial production led to the current long-term supply agreement supporting Q Sera's commercialization pathway with Terumo.

Terumo's Japan launch represents a significant advancement in blood collection tube innovation and underscores the commercial readiness of RAPClot technology. Bora Biologics' role reflects its ability to develop and scale complex recombinant proteins using industry-standard biopharmaceutical processes under rigorous quality controls.

RAPClot technology utilizes recombinant ecarin, a prothrombin activator, to accelerate clot formation and rapidly generate high-quality serum for biochemical analysis - including from anticoagulated blood - reducing turnaround time and improving laboratory efficiency.

"Supporting a commercial launch with a global medical device leader such as Terumo is a meaningful validation of our recombinant protein development and scale-up platform," said Stephen Lam, CEO, Bora Biologics. "This collaboration reinforces our ability to deliver specialized recombinant proteins at commercial scale through disciplined process development, scale-up execution, and quality-focused supply."

"Recombinant ecarin production requires precise process control, reproducibility, and strong yield performance at commercial scale," said Jennifer Kuan, Vice President, Taiwan Operations, Bora Biologics. "This partnership reflects the depth of our recombinant protein expertise and the operational rigor required to support specialized proteins entering regulated global markets."

Bora Biologics provides integrated process and analytical method development and biologics manufacturing across facilities in Taiwan and the United States, supporting therapeutic biologics and specialty recombinant proteins for global markets. Across its platform, the company has executed more than 200 successful cGMP batches, including over 60 commercial batches within its U.S. network.

The agreement underscores Bora Biologics' ability to support partners bringing specialized biologic and recombinant protein products into regulated global markets, including Japan. It also extends the company's commercial supply portfolio into advanced diagnostic applications and demonstrates Bora Biologics' capability to support complex recombinant protein products from development and scale-up through long-term commercial supply.
