UK SIC 2007 72110: Research and experimental development on biotechnology

Maps to NACE Rev. 2 72.11 and NACE Rev. 2.1 72.10. ISIC Rev. 4: 7210.

UK SIC 2007 code 72110 is "Research and experimental development on biotechnology". UK SIC 2007 follows NACE Rev. 2 at four digits and adds a national fifth digit, so the first four digits, 72.11, are the NACE Rev. 2 class "Research and experimental development on biotechnology". UK companies state one or more SIC codes when they file at Companies House, and the codes appear in the company record. In NACE Rev. 2.1 the matching class is 72.10, "Research and experimental development on natural sciences and engineering".

What the class includes (NACE Rev. 2 notes)

This class includes research and experimental development on biotechnology: - DNA/RNA: genomics, pharmacogenomics, gene probes, genetic engineering, DNA/RNA sequencing/synthesis/amplification, gene expression profiling, and use of antisense technology - proteins and other molecules: sequencing/synthesis/engineering of proteins and peptides (including large molecule hormones); improved delivery methods for large molecule drugs; proteomics, protein isolation and purification, signalling, identification of cell receptors - cell and tissue culture and engineering: cell/tissue culture, tissue engineering (including tissue scaffolds and biomedical engineering), cellular fusion, vaccine/immune stimulants, embryo manipulation - process biotechnology techniques: fermentation using bioreactors, bioprocessing, bioleaching, biopulping, biobleaching, biodesulphurisation, bioremediation, biofiltration and phytoremediation - gene and RNA vectors: gene therapy, viral vectors - bioinformatics: construction of databases on genomes, protein sequences; modelling complex biological processes, including systems biology - nanobiotechnology: applies the tools and processes of nano/microfabrication to build devices for studying biosystems and applications in drug delivery, diagnostics etc.
