BIOPRODUCTION AT SCALE

Enduro Sense - the future of bioproduction

Biological production exerts a burden on the producing cells. This burden favorizes faster growing lower-producing cells that emerge spontaneously. 

Over time, lower-producing cell variants are enriched in the fermentation tank, thereby compromising efficient bio-based production at scale.

Our technology prevents declining production at scale by 'addicting' the cells to high production. We call our technology Enduro Sense and it significantly improves production strain performance – in any organism and at every scale.

What we offer

Enduro Sense

Enduro Sense is a genetic plugin that couples high production levels to growth – effectively making the production strain addicted to the production of the desired product. Enduro Sense has two primary effects:

  1. Enduro Sense makes the cell population consist of more higher producing cell variants, increasing the baseline yield and titer. 

  2. Enduro Sense maintains the elevated production level throughout the fermentation. 

This sustains bio-based production over long time scales and results in higher-producing cells.

Seamless integration

Enduro Sense can be integrated seamlessly into existing, commercial strains or can be used right from the drawing board, providing a flexible approach to scale up of up high-production strains. Enduro Sense does not require any changes to the cultivation medium, ensuring a simple incorporation into existing processes.

Higher process yield at scale

Get more out of existing bioprocesses by keeping high-producing strains in the fermentor -increasing yield, titer, rate, and reproducibility.

Enduro Sense is free of antibiotic resistance genes, making handling more compliant, easy and safe.

Antibiotic independence

Enable difficult processes

Production of complex or cellular inhibit products is easier when strain instability is overcome.

Expedited strain development

Enduro Sense accelerates the strain development process through selection of stable and high-producing strains that will succeed during the scale-up phase.

Working with Enduro

Getting started with Enduro Sense is easy. Integration of the Enduro Sense plugins can either be done on client’s site or by Enduro. Contact us today to learn more about implementing Enduro Sense.
