Smart Instruments for Precision Fermentation
Revolutionizing protein production through AI-powered automation and sustainable biotechnology
Cutting-Edge Technology Meets Industrial Innovation
By combining cutting-edge artificial intelligence with advanced industrial manufacturing, our team designs and builds purpose-driven instruments tailored for precision fermentation workflows.
These tools are engineered to automate labor-intensive steps in microbial screening and protein development—drastically improving consistency, throughput, and reproducibility in lab operations.
One standout innovation is our in-house Microbial Colony Picker. Utilizing state-of-the-art computer vision, we've built both compact (8-channel) and high-throughput (24-channel) models. These devices provide precise and rapid colony identification and isolation—accelerating strain selection and minimizing human error.
Enabling a Sustainable Protein Future
Precision fermentation enables the production of high-value proteins without relying on animals. By leveraging engineered microbes and efficient bioprocesses, we can create bioidentical proteins like lactoferrin with significantly lower environmental impact.
Our work in sustainable protein innovation bridges synthetic biology, nutrition science, and automation—laying the foundation for scalable, ethical, and environmentally responsible food systems of the future.
Key Challenges Ahead
While the promise of precision fermentation is transformative, several technical and regulatory hurdles remain. These include ensuring protein functionality under physiological conditions, scaling up without compromising quality, gaining consumer acceptance, and navigating evolving food safety frameworks across global markets.
Our team is actively addressing these bottlenecks through interdisciplinary research, iterative prototyping, and close collaboration with policy and industry stakeholders.
