Cambridge Isotope Laboratories (CIL) Shows Long-Term Commitment to Xenia, Ohio, Facility With New Land Purchase
TEWKSBURY, MA, Apr 25, 2024 – (ACN Newswire) – Cambridge Isotope Laboratories, Inc. (CIL) has acquired an additional 14.8 acres of land at its Cambridge Isotope Separations (CIS) Xenia, Ohio location. Mike Steiger, Vice President of Engineering and Project Execution for CIL, stated that the new land purchase will ensure easier access to utilities for future expansion.
Cambridge Isotope Separations
This newly acquired land is situated to the west of the 20 acres purchased in 2017, which is currently the site of the North Star expansion project. This recently completed project will greatly increase 13C production and is in the startup phase. North Star is the largest 13C separation facility ever built in the world and will significantly increase CIL’s capacity ensuring customer reliability for this stable isotope.
The land acquired provides the business flexibility to expand in the future as the demand continues to grow worldwide in all applications. “This investment shows CIL’s commitment to innovation and growth for our customers,” said CEO Cliff Caldwell. “CIL works closely with our diverse and global customers to develop and commercialize exciting, high-value applications for isotopically labeled compounds. As these applications commercialize, our customers rely on CIL’s ability to scale our chemistry quickly and reliably. This land acquisition assures we have the space to continue meeting their expectations and enable these technology advancements.”
The CIS facility has the world’s largest 13C separation facility, is one of the world’s largest 18O isotope-separation facilities and houses the largest commercial D2O re-enrichment columns in the world.
Stable isotopes, particularly deuterium, have seen an increase in commercial-scale applications in the last few decades. These applications include pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, flat panel displays, and other high-technology fields. CIL has a three-year supply contract with one Canadian source for D2O, as well as three other sources, and holds an average of an 18-24-month supply in four of CIL locations to ensure the most reliable supply.

Cambridge Isotope Laboratories, Inc. (CIL) Announces Relocation of Corporate Headquarters and Expansion of Research & Development and cGMP Production
TEWKSBURY, MA, Mar 15, 2024 – (ACN Newswire) – Cambridge Isotope Laboratories, Inc. (CIL), the world leader in stable isotope chemistry and the separation of carbon-13 (13C), has announced it will be relocating and expanding its corporate headquarters to newly purchased space in Tewksbury, MA, to advance the operations and growth of the company. The purchase was made in June 2023.
The new location is a two-building, 150,000-square-foot campus with 25 lakefront acres at 100 & 200 Ames Pond Drive. The Ames Pond campus will be the home of a new 8,000-square-foot research and development (R&D) facility and will significantly expand cGMP, QC, formulations, and production labs. The spacious facility will provide CIL with the opportunity to cultivate a dynamic work environment for its valued employees, enabling cross-functional teams to collaborate seamlessly.
“Stable isotope-labeled compounds are in high demand in the market. This expansion provides CIL the space to develop new products and invest in advanced analytical and production technologies,” states CIL’s Chief Science Officer (CSO) Todd Osiek. “The new R&D facility will include organic chemistry space as well as a development/scale-up lab with multiple walk-in hoods.”
The GMP facility will more than double the existing space. Marwan ElMasri, Director of GMP Production, adds, “With this expansion, CIL will be able to produce metric ton quantities of commercial-grade APIs labeled with stable isotopes. This expansion will dramatically improve our capabilities for producing larger scale stable isotope-labeled materials for clinical trials. Our increased production capacity will certainly enable us to better serve our customers and partners.”
CEO Cliff Caldwell adds, “The Ames Pond development, in addition to providing a highly desirable work campus for our employees, elevates our research and development efforts, significantly expands our GMP production capacities, improves operational efficiency, and enhances our ability to innovate for our customers.”
CIL will continue operating its existing headquarters at 3 Highwood Drive, Tewksbury, MA, and production facility located 50 Frontage Road in Andover, MA. The 3 Highwood Drive facility will transition to Ames Pond as construction is completed. CIL’s Andover production location will remain operational after the move.
