Bioprocess technology is a critical part of biotechnology that deals with processes combining living matter or its components with nutrients that produce specialty chemicals, reagents, and biotherapeutics. Different stages associated with bioprocess technology involve substrates and media preparation, biocatalyst selection and optimization, volume production, downstream processing, purification, and final processing. Bioprocess technology is widely used, from food and pharmaceuticals to fuel and chemicals.

Product News |
Stämm Biotech is developing a desktop-sized bioreactor that is quite different from the tanks, tubes and knobs traditionally seen in industrial or even benchtop bioreactors. The Buenos Aires-based company announced a $17 million Series A round; combined with previous seed and pre-seed rounds, this brings the total to $20 million. The new investment will be used to double the company’s headcount and refine its micro-fluidic bioreactor developments. |
