Applications

Synthetic biology applications

Streamline fermentation for synthetic biology with or without a lab

Synthetic biology companies rely on efficient fermentation processes, strain optimization, and scalable bioprocessing to bring innovations to market. We offer two powerful solutions: our cloud-connected 250mL and 5L bioreactor service, providing high-throughput, managed fermentation capacity, and Stratyx250 - a disposable 250mL bioreactor for in-house experimentation. Whether refining microbial fermentation solutions, conducting strain screening, or optimizing synthetic biology applications, our flexible solutions can help you accelerate process development without costly infrastructure investments.

Benefits

Scale fermentation without infrastructure delays

Skip the time and cost of lab build-outs. Our cloud-connected bioreactors (250mL and 5L) provide on-demand fermentation capacity, while Stratyx250 enables in-house process testing for early-stage development.

Increase speed to manufacturing milestones

Save 6-18 months by outsourcing bioprocess development to our high-throughput cloud bioreactors, or use Stratyx250 to optimize fermentation conditions before scaling up.

Optimize strain performance faster

Leverage our managed strain screening services with cloud bioreactors or integrate Stratyx250 into your own lab for rapid strain selection and microbial fermentation process refinement. With over 20,000 fermentation runs across P. pastoris, E.coli, B. subtilis, filamentous fungi, and S. cerevisiae, our team offers their expertise in strain screening and fermentation optimization to ensure precision throughout every test.

Capabilities

Scalable strain screening for synthetic biology

Expand your strain screening capacity using our cloud-connected bioreactors or Stratyx250’s in-house disposable bioreactor. Our proven strain screening workflow optimizes microbial strains for metabolic engineering, enzyme production, and synthetic biology applications—giving you the flexibility to screen strains in your own lab or with our managed service.

Run large DOEs for process optimization

Optimize and refine synthetic biology pathways with large-scale design of experiments (DOEs). Our automated cloud bioreactors support high-throughput fermentation and advanced data analytics, while Stratyx250 allows for in-house testing of DOE parameters before transitioning to larger-scale workflows.

In-house microbial analytics for faster process development

Gain deeper insights into synthetic biology fermentation processes with real-time microbial analytics. Our cloud bioreactors provide remote monitoring and automated data collection, while Stratyx250 offers in-lab analysis of biomass, metabolites, oxygen and CO2 of gas, and residual substrate levels, allowing you to track process performance wherever you operate.

Service packages

Whether you want to work with Culture on a continuous or per project basis, we have a service package tailored to your specific goals.
