Key technology for biotechnology process development.
Fermentation experts
Fermentation is a key technology for the development of biotechnological processes.
Bict has a strong expertise in fermentation and can develop and optimize multiple processes in different production areas.
The processes developed involve both Batch and Fed-batch technologies and can be applied to bacteria, yeast and fungi in a pathway starting from laboratory screening to scale-up in fermenters.
Tailored industrial approach
Bict will accompany you in the development of a fermentation process tailored to your specific needs addressing all key parameters, from the raw materials used for the culture medium to the plant requirements used in production.
Having an industrial approach, process development is conducted with a view to scale and considers all factors necessary for industrialization.
