Research & projects

Applied research with partners across Europe — and a living strain bank that keeps production cultures safe.

Strain bank

A backup for living production.

Cryopreservation, slow growth at low temperature and small bubbling reactors keep partner strains safe — so a crashed reactor can restart in about a week instead of months.
