DAB.bio, the leading expert in oil-based separation technology, expanded its fermentation capacity with recently granted Mibiton investment funds. Mibiton, who invests in innovative, promising small companies, granted DAB.bio €300,000 to purchase additional lab-scale support and fermentation equipment.
DAB Fermentation Scientist Alessandro Brewster said:
“By expanding the fermentation lab, we can accelerate our clients’ process development and maintain a pipeline of diverse strains that demonstrate the cost-savings of our FAST technology at pilot and demo-scale. Improving the economics of our clients’ bio-products will facilitate the transition to a sustainable tomorrow.”
