AUCTEQ Biosystems offers Single-Use Bioreactors
Founding Year: 2018
Location: Mannheim, Germany
Partner for: Eukaryotic Cell Culture
German startup AUCTEQ Biosystems offers single-use bioreactors for eukaryotic cell culture purposes. Conventionally, eukaryotic cultures require multiple passages and media transfers which are prone to contamination. The startup’s AUCTEQ bioreactor minimizes passaging steps and culture transfer, limiting the contamination risk in the cell expansion process. AUCTEQ uses ecological single-use culture systems and minimizes the amount of plastic used. Also, the startup uses 3D printing technology to build a bioreactor with customizable configurations. Further, the bioreactor is expandable and reduces process costs, making it suitable for use in the biopharmaceutical industry.
PharSol develops Photobioreactors
Founding Year: 2016
Location: Maribor, Slovenia
Partner for: Photobioreactors for Life Sciences Applications
Slovenian startup PharSol develops different types of bioreactors for research and industrial applications. The startup’s photobioreactor enables the culture of phototrophic organisms or plant cells. Featuring high-end glass tubes for optimal illumination, PharSol’s photobioreactor supplies light and carbon dioxide to growing plant or microalgal cell culture medium. The startup’s autoclavable photobioreactor’s glass tubing has a higher shelf-life and also prevents immobilization of cells and thus reduces energy used to pump the media. The glass tubes further prevent the accumulation of microbes or biofouling in the bioreactor and thereby limit contamination. PharSol’s bioreactor is customizable for use in laboratories or a production unit of a greenhouse.
Erbi Biosystems designs Miniaturized Bioreactors
Founding Year: 2016
Location: Woburn, US
Partner for: Microfluidic Bioreactors
USA-based startup Erbi Biosystems builds miniaturized bioreactors. The startup’s Breez microbioreactor is an automated, stirred tank reactor that runs perfusion cultures using little culture media and requires a short setup time. Erbi’s continuous True Perfusion cultures are microcassettes that occupy less than one foot of space. The startup’s miniaturized equipment increases the flexibility to conduct multiple experiments, as well as allows controlling every step of the culture process. Moreover, it decreases the reaction costs per cycle for researchers and biotech companies.
ReaGenics manufactures Cannabis Bioreactors
Founding Year: 2019
Location: Bet Shemesh, Israel
Partner for: Cannabis Production
Israeli startup ReaGenics manufactures bioreactors for cannabis production. Traditional cannabis cultivation methods utilize large amounts of land and are expensive. The startup’s plant cell bioreactor enables low-cost mass production and multiplication of cannabinoids. ReaGenics produces broad spectrum cannabidiol (CBD), full-spectrum cannabis extract, and rare cannabinoids like tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV) and cannabigerol (CBG). By enabling sterile production, the bioreactor eliminates environmental impacts and also produces a higher yield of cannabis.
Fermex Solutions specializes in Fermenters & Bioreactors
Founding Year: 2016
Location: Mohali, India
Partner for: Scaling Bioreactor Projects for Industrial Application & Academic Research
Indian startup Fermex Solutions specializes in fermenters and bioreactor solutions. The startup helps clients in selecting the most suitable instruments and level of automation for their fermenters. Fermex also supports projects by providing 3D simulations of the fermenter or bioreactor sites, enabling clients to make the most suitable decision. The startup also offers software, accessories, and modular controllers that offer higher flexibility and interchangeability for fermenters. The Fermex fermenter and bioreactor solutions find industrial applications across food, pharma, biotech, waste, and agriculture industries as well as academic research support for universities and think tanks.
