GAITHERSBURG, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Surplus Solutions LLC along with The Branford Group have been selected by GenVec, Inc. to conduct a substantial 3-day global online auction of laboratory equipment at the 42,900 sq. ft. biopharmaceutical facility in Gaithersburg, MD facility.

The auction contains over 1,500 lots available for sale, including Agilent and Waters HPLC Systems, Bio Reactors, Microscopes, Chromatography Columns, Centrifuges, Lab Furniture and much more. All bidding will be conducted online beginning November 12 at 9:00am (EST).

GenVec is a biopharmaceutical company working with leading companies and organizations such as Novartis and the U.S. Government to leverage its proprietary gene-delivery technologies to address the prevention and treatment of significant health concerns.

“Within the next few months, GenVec will be relocating to substantially smaller space in the area consistent with our transition from a capital-intensive, product development company to one focused on the cost efficient creation of value through the licensing of our proprietary vector and cell line technologies,” said Douglas J. Swirsky, GenVec’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “The Branford Group and Surplus Solutions are uniquely positioned in the market to help us realize the most value from the sale of our surplus equipment.”
