About Us

We engineer modern tools to create a world where bioprocess is never the bottleneck

Culture is driving the democratization of upstream process development, utilizing innovative technologies including cloud-connected bioreactors, AI-machine learning, PAT ecosystems and data science driven prediction methods to support bioprocess solutions faster with increased robustness and reproducibility.
