SERVICES
Two ways to work with us
Book one service or combine them. Same team, same site.
⬣ SPECIALIST SERVICES
Cell counts, viability and population analysis, as one-off tests or a recurring service for your team.
Flow cytometry support
Method development and routine QC built around your product, such as CFU plating and viability testing.
Custom R&D and QC
Process design, techno-economic analysis and scale-up planning, before or alongside lab work.
Consulting
⬣ PILOT MANUFACTURING
Launch volumes, without the minimum order.
When you are ready to sell but a large manufacturer’s minimum order is out of reach, we run your product in a dedicated production bay. We design the line with you, operate it, and handle supply chain, warehousing and shipping to your customers.

⬣ HOW IT WORKS
Strain in. Data and product out.
Every stage sits under one roof, and you can start at any step: TFF on your broth, freeze-drying or QC.
Your strain
Grow
Recover
Product & package
Bacteria, yeast, fungi or plant cells, with whatever process data you have.
Media and feed optimisation in bioreactors from 250 mL to 7 L. Batch, fed-batch or continuous.
Centrifugation, TFF, chromatography and freeze-drying.
Pilot manufacturing at launch volumes, or a tech-transfer package for your CDMO.
ANALYTICS · ACROSS THE WHOLE WORKFLOW
Measured at every stage
Analytics run alongside every step, from the incoming strain through growth and recovery to the finished product, using HPLC, flow cytometry and YSI. You get the raw data.
