Custom fermentation services

Fermentation support from small scale to industrial production.

Custom fermentation programmes for strain evaluation, enzyme production, process development and scale-up — from bench-scale work through pilot campaigns and larger industrial manufacture.

One development path. Three practical scales.

Start at the stage that matches your project and scale as the process proves itself.

01

Small-scale fermentation

Fast, flexible development work for strain screening, media optimisation, expression testing and early process design.

Bench & development scale
02

Pilot fermentation

Bridge the gap between laboratory success and manufacture with process transfer, control strategy and scale-up validation.

Pilot campaigns & process validation
03

Industrial fermentation

Support larger production requirements with scalable fermentation strategies, downstream planning and commercial supply routes.

Commercial & industrial production
How projects run

From organism to scalable fermentation process

01

Define

Agree the organism, product target, yield requirement and downstream constraints.

02

Optimise

Develop media, feed, aeration, agitation, temperature, pH and induction strategy.

03

Scale

Translate the process into pilot conditions and identify scale-dependent changes.

04

Produce

Move into larger manufacture with defined process parameters and batch documentation.

Fermentation capabilities

Built around the process you actually need

M

Media & feed optimisation

Carbon source, nitrogen source, trace nutrients and feeding strategy.

O₂

Oxygen transfer & agitation

Support for aeration, agitation and oxygen-demand management.

pH

Process control

pH, temperature, induction timing and fermentation endpoint optimisation.

Downstream planning

Harvest, clarification, recovery and preparation for purification or formulation.

D

Data & reporting

Structured fermentation data, batch comparisons and scale-up recommendations.

Scale-up strategy

Identify practical transfer criteria between bench, pilot and industrial scale.
