"With FermWorks, we've been able to reduce the time between experiments on our reactors from two weeks to just a few days. We're now performing more experiments each year on the same set of equipment." |

How much can increased efficiency save your organization?
With Fermworks Experiments are designed in researchers' offices, refined in small volumes in R&D labs, and then perfected in larger Process Development reactors. Control methods are then deployed to the Pilot Plants and manufacturing, with results summarized at every stage for scientific analysis and business planning.

Increase Efficiency |
|
 |
 |
| |
FermWorks has a unique origin, combining the lessons learned in the Silicon Valley electronics industry with years of experience in biotechnology and chemical instrumentation.
The exponential advances in efficiency and repeatability achieved by electronics manufacturers over the past decade enabled them to produce higher quality products, in greater volumes, for lower cost, and with fewer personnel. Jova Solutions, in collaboration with some of the West Coast's major pharmaceutical companies, implemented a "factory automation" model for the pharmaceutical industry.
FermWorks manages batch recipes, multi-reactor experiments, and enormous quantities of data, offering you secure storage, easy retrieval and extensive analysis of cell culture and fermentation process data. |
