Technology screenings
At Bionet, we begin by thoroughly analyzing your processes to recommend upstream and downstream technologies and strategies tailored to your unique requirements. This includes considering process specificities, the added value of the end product, operational scale, sector characteristics, industry standards, and future growth potential. When needed, we conduct empirical studies to support these recommendations.
For downstream processes, for example, BIONET can assist in evaluating Tangential Flow Filtration (TFF) as a suitable solution for your specific needs. Leveraging our expertise and the data provided by clients—or generated in our laboratory—we ensure the selection of the optimal membrane technology, whether it be ceramic, cassette, or hollow fiber membranes.
Benefits
Our screening tests allow you to benchmark different technologies and processes, ensuring alignment with your objectives while identifying and mitigating potential issues before implementation.
Proof-of-concepts
We provide proof-of-concept services through small-scale runs using our advanced technologies—primarily bioreactors and Tangential Flow Filtration (TFF)—at our pilot plant. These trials are designed to validate bioprocess performance across key parameters, including strain and product yield, operational feasibility, scalability, and cost-effectiveness, among others.
Benefits
Proof-of-concept studies are invaluable prior to purchasing and implementation. By enabling the validation of targeted metrics—and offering the ability to compare different processes when applicable—these studies serve as effective tools for optimizing resources and minimizing risks.
Optimization
Once your process is validated in a bioreactor or Tangential Flow Filtration (TFF) is confirmed as a suitable downstream technology, we offer process optimization services tailored to improve productivity, quality, cost-efficiency, or other critical attributes.
Our optimization services combine consulting, trials, or both, depending on your needs. The results may include modifications or expansions to your existing technology setup, workflow adjustments, operational recommendations, or refined “recipes” for the process. For example, we can advise on optimal working conditions such as shear rate, crossflow rate, transmembrane pressure, temperature, or concentration factor, ensuring your process performs at its best.
Benefits
By focusing on specific metrics for improvement, our optimization efforts help you enhance competitiveness, gain market share, and achieve long-term operational success.
Scale-up
At BIONET, our scale-up assessment focuses on trials designed to capture the key performance indicators (KPIs) essential for making informed operational and design decisions at larger scales.
Benefits
By conducting thorough scale-up studies and experiments, we confirm feasibility while ensuring a robust scalability approach. This enables sound decision-making regarding the design and construction of technology and the organization of teams for industrial-scale operations. Ultimately, our approach enhances resource optimization and process efficiency, supporting your long-term success.
Training
We understand the challenge of working with new equipment, which is why we offer a hands-on fermentation course to help you start bioprocessing quickly and confidently. Led by experienced Bionet specialists, our training ensures that your team is fully equipped to operate the system efficiently and effectively, improving process performance.
Maintenance
Regular professional maintenance is essential for ensuring your equipment operates reliably and efficiently while meeting all regulatory requirements. With our tailored maintenance plans, you can maximise productivity, control costs, and extend the lifespan of your systems, giving you confidence and assurance in your bioprocessing operations.
Qualification
Bionet has a strong understanding of the regulatory particularities of the different sectors. We offer services that effectively complement our bioprocess equipment, ensuring compliance with the highest standards of excellence, quality, traceability, and safety that both authorities and customers demand.
Installation and comissioning
Once the appropriate solution is selected and validated, our expert engineers oversee the installation of the bioreactor or TFF system. We ensure seamless integration with your existing infrastructure and handle system commissioning, rigorously testing all aspects to guarantee optimal performance from day one.
