"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."

Research Scientist,
mid-sized biopharmaceutical company

 

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.

  • Unify access to all data and drive process development efficiencies.

  • Reduce the time spent in post-experiment data management, analysis and reporting.

"FermWorks gives me immediate access to all the reactors I manage in three separate facilities, and has streamlined our post-experiment data analysis."

Operations Manager,
bay area biotechnology firm

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.
