Screening of microbial producers can be undertaken at different scales in appropriate standard media and conditions thanks to a battery of temperature-controlled shaking incubators with a whole capacity of 1.200 lts, 60% of them fully intended to industrial contract-research activities.
Lab-scale multiplexing capabilities encompass culture in different conditions, cell processing, extraction and analysis (HPLC, UV/Vis spectrophotometer).
Subsequent trials in media panels can be performed in order to identify the optimal medium and confirmed at bioreactor scale.
